Bitcoin Rises 5% in 24 Hours, Re-testing $82,000 Level

Bitcoin (BTC) has surged nearly 5% over the past 24 hours, marking its third attempt to breach the $82,000 resistance level since late August 2026. Despite recent bearish signals, including a 25-basis-point interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve and the failure of the CLARITY Act in the US Senate, the asset has shown resilience. Analysts suggest the rally may be driven by increased liquidity from US Treasury bond buybacks, positive sentiment from a White House cryptocurrency event, and potential inflation relief stemming from falling oil prices.
