According to the daily chart, shortly after dipping to an intraday low of $85,163 early Sept. 22, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bitcoin-liquidations-drop-sharply-price-holds-above-86000\/\">BTC quickly reclaimed $86,000<\/a> before climbing to a midnight peak of $87,251 just after mid-night.<\/p>\n<p>Just as it did Monday after hitting $87,000 for the first time since late January, BTC retreated to trade around $86,400 at press time. The sharp reversal capped daily gains at just over 1% and kept its market cap nearly static at $1.74 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>For a third straight day, bitcoin\u2019s price action squeezed short sellers harder than long traders. However, Coinglass data shows total short liquidations narrowed to $48 million, down from $171 million 12 hours earlier and more than $454 million on Monday. Meanwhile, long liquidations rose to nearly $14 million, up sharply from $6 million on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Despite recent sideways trading, bitcoin\u2019s price remains up 35% from its pre-Aug. 19 levels. While the U.S. Treasury\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/finance\/were-going-to-increase-the-buyback-treasury-boss-targets-bond-yields\/\">bond buyback announcement<\/a> triggered the initial rally, the asset\u2019s sustained resilience points to a broader shift in market sentiment. This outlook is reinforced by the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, which has held mostly above 60 since mid-August.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/bitcoin-fomo-hits-two-year-high-after-87k-breakout\/\">surge in fear of missing out (FOMO)<\/a> to levels last seen in December 2024 adds to mounting evidence that digital assets have entered a fresh bull market. Technical indicators reinforce that momentum, signaling that the crypto winter is officially over and bitcoin remains well-positioned to finish the year with net gains.<\/p>\n<h2>Regulatory and Legislative Momentum Buoys Market<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">Tony Dicarlo, director of institutional propositions at Rootstock Labs, meanwhile, highlighted the<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/regulation-and-legal\/sec-and-cftc-take-the-wheel-after-clarity-vote-failure\/\"> key developments on the legislative<\/a> and macro front that have helped sustain bitcoin\u2019s uptrend in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTechnically, Bitcoin is back above its 50- and 200-week moving averages, up ~29% in 35 days. Legislatively, the SEC stepped up support of digital assets where Congress hasn\u2019t, with the Innovation Exemption filling the CLARITY gap within 24 hours, driving sharp rallies in tokenization-related digital assets and improving broader confidence,\u201d DiCarlo told Bitcoin.com News.<\/p>\n<p>Dicarlo further cited legislative momentum, noting that the American Reserve Modernization Act clearing committee this week has reignited talks of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. On the macro front, Japan\u2019s rate hike combined with a weaker yen indicates a dovish Bank of Japan (BOJ) path, maintaining the carry trade and preserving the loose liquidity conditions essential for bitcoin\u2019s uptrend.<\/p>\n<p>While he remains cautious about declaring the crypto winter over, Dicarlo argues that with the bad news now largely priced in, a confluence of good news is helping bitcoin build higher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith October and November historically Bitcoin\u2019s stronger months, and macro tailwinds now aligning, we could be heading into some strong momentum through year-end. The last piece of the puzzle we were watching for just confirmed this morning [Tuesday, Sept. 22], with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs pulling in $999 million in net inflows yesterday, one of the largest single-day inflows in the last 11 months,\u201d Dicarlo said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose my-3 lg:my-4\"><a aria-label=\"Read Now: Bitcoin Price Rips to $87K, and Suddenly $90K Is Back in the
