BTC rips to $77K on record ETF bid and a short squeeze — trending tape, but spot demand hasn't confirmed
BTC surged to $77,189 — up 23.2% on the week and 17.7% on the month — on 2.7x average volume, a genuine impulse leg off the $62.5k low. US spot ETFs poured in $517M net (largest since May 4), IBIT alone taking $284.7M on $4.44B of volume, even as $3.6B of shorts were liquidated and the Coinbase premium stayed negative. The tension: a trending tape at 88% of its 30-day range and a cleared derivatives book argue continuation above $72k, but a close below flips the squeeze to distribution — and a 2Y reprice past 4.30% would kill the bid.
