Bitcoin reclaimed the $73,000 psychological level and was trading for $73,413 as of this writing.
The move forced a cascade of short liquidations across derivatives markets, with Coinglass data showing nearly $30 million in short positions blown out over the past hour. This brings total liquidations to $530 million over the last 24 hours.
The move caught short sellers exposed. Traders betting against BTC and ETH were squeezed out as prices rose sharply, amplifying upward momentum through forced buybacks.Warsh Nomination Serves as Macro Catalyst
The policy trigger behind the rally came from Washington. The White House officially nominated Kevin Warsh, a former Federal Reserve Governor widely regarded as sympathetic to digital assets, to serve as Fed Chairman for a four-year term.
“Kevin Warsh, of Florida, to be Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for a term of four years. Kevin Warsh, of Florida, to be a Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for a term of fourteen years from February 1, 2026,” read the announcement.
Meanwhile, the divergence between Bitcoin and traditional safe havens widened. Bitcoin is up by almost double digits, while Gold fell 3%. This stark contrast suggests capital rotation from traditional stores of value into digital assets.
The Warsh nomination and Saylor’s public stance, indicating potential for buying more BTC than sellers can offload, point to a market increasingly driven by macro policy expectations and institutional positioning.
