Bitcoin bias flipped 31 times to bullish on August 27, 2026
Bitcoin has been swinging between roughly $78K and $81K, with headlines citing leveraged short squeezes above $80K followed by a drop that hurt longs. Investor flows of $7B into Bitcoin and gold suggest demand for hedges against dollar weakness, while Nvidia earnings and the upcoming Jackson Hole meeting are adding to risk-asset sentiment. These factors combine to keep Bitcoin sensitive to macro cues and leverage dynamics.
