BTC jumps above $90,000 then pulls back; CoinCodex: ETH +61%, BTC -5% by Dec. 2026

Bitcoin briefly rose past $90,000 before retreating toward the high $88,000s as liquidations hit both sides; Bull Theory on X cited about $103 million in shorts cleared during a late Sunday surge and roughly $40 million in long positions during the subsequent drop into Monday. CoinCodex's 365‑day model projects Bitcoin near $83,350 by December 2026, while Ethereum's forecast rises to about $4,768, implying roughly a 61% gain.
