-Trump's pro-crypto stance influenced market sentiment & investor expectations around digital assets.

-Huge Short Squeeze: Heavily shorted positions was liquidated, forced buying turn in to breakout with faster price surge.

-BTC broke above important resistance around $68K–$70K.
This forced heavily leveraged short traders to close positions by buying BTC.

-More than $2.7B in crypto shorts were liquidated, dramatically accelerating the move.

-strong institutional demand and fresh capital accelerate bitcoin's upside when liquidity is already tightening.

Bitcoin pumped all the way to $79,000..

Almost $15,000 increase in just few days.. Don't get too excited, btc will touch $82,000 zone before crashing down again..

Don't follow the hype, always book profits and wait patiently for next entry..

May Goddess Lakshmi bless you & your family with abundance of happiness and let the Ashta Lakshmis fill your life with health, wealth, and freedom."

Bitcoin is Back above $80,000

-Bitcoin Rises above $80,000 for the first time since May 15th and btc is now over 29% in the last 1 week.
