Bitcoin tops $86,000 and Ethereum, Solana and XRP all jump 5-7% as a $650M-plus short squeeze meets falling bond yields in crypto's best day since January.

Sentiment 76/100 (Greedy)

Crypto is having its best stretch in months, and the mechanics behind it are worth understanding even if you're new to this market. Bitcoin has pushed above $86,000, its strongest level since January, after clearing $82,000 and $84,000 resistance zones that had capped every rally attempt for weeks. 56 that has rejected four separate breakout attempts already this year.
