BTC surges past $85,000; ETH tops $2,750 as major shorts get liquidated

AI Market Summary

BTC pushed above 85,000 and ETH broke above 2,750, triggering notable short liquidations (including ~122.88 BTC and ~5,867 ETH). The forced covering suggests positioning was skewed short into the move, increasing near-term volatility and reinforcing upward momentum as leverage is cleared. Attention shifts to whether spot demand sustains the breakout after derivatives-driven flows normalize.
