Bitcoin surged above $77,000, marking its highest level since May and pushing Strategy's corporate treasury of 840,447 BTC back into profitability. The price move above Strategy's average cost basis of $75,385 has yielded an estimated $450 million year-to-date gain. Despite recent concerns after Strategy sold a small portion of its holdings for stock repurchases, analysts note the price recovery has alleviated fears about the company's investment strategy. On-chain data reveals a significant new support zone, with approximately 11% of Bitcoin's supply acquired between $58,000 and $67,000 over the past 11 weeks, creating a potential floor below current prices. The rally also saw BTC reclaim its 200-day moving average, a key technical milestone for ending the longer-term downtrend.

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has surpassed $77,000, reaching its highest level since May 26. The leading cryptocurrency gained 8% in just 24 hours and 23% over the past week. The total market capitalization has risen to $2.58 trillion, with a 24-hour trading volume of $144 billion, according to Coinmarketcap data. Amid this rapid market surge, exchanges liquidated positions worth a total of $1.22 billion from 150,000 traders in a single day. Of this amount, $1.04 billion came from short positions. Experts previously interviewed by RBC-Crypto forecasted that if Bitcoin enters the $75,000–$78,000 range, it could pave the way for a move toward $80,000.

Standard Chartered's head of digital asset research, Geoff Kendrick, suggests Bitcoin could approach its all-time high of $126,000 by year-end, with the recovery potentially accelerating after October 6. He notes the recent rally has been fueled by short liquidations and recovering inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, adding that low open interest leaves room for more investors to return. Kendrick now sees a risk that his year-end forecast of $100,000 may be "too low." This follows a February adjustment where Standard Chartered lowered its Bitcoin target from $150,000 to $100,000 and its Ether target from $7,500 to $4,000. Other analysts also signal the bear market may be ending, with some pointing to potential bottoming patterns. Bitcoin is currently trading around $76,844, up 24% over the past week.

Standard Chartered has revised its Bitcoin price forecast upwards following a recent market rally. The bank's head of digital asset research, Geoff Kendrick, stated that his previous year-end target of $100,000 now appears "significantly too low." He suggested that after October 6th, Bitcoin's surge could intensify, potentially approaching its previous all-time high of $126,000 by year-end. Kendrick attributed the recent price increase primarily to short-position liquidations. However, he noted that a recovery in inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs indicates the rally may be broadening to a wider investor base. This renewed optimism marks a shift from an earlier forecast where Kendrick had lowered his year-end target from $150,000 to $100,000 and predicted a drop to $50,000 before a recovery.

The Kingdom of Bhutan has transferred 490.87 BTC, valued at approximately $32.74 million, to new cryptocurrency wallets within the last day, according to Onchain Lens. The largest single transaction involved 485 BTC worth about $32.31 million. While the Bhutanese government has previously moved bitcoin to wallets linked to trading firms for sales, the destination of these latest transfers is unclear. Analysts have not identified the owners of the new wallets or confirmed the moves are related to selling the coins. This follows an earlier transfer of 300 BTC ($19.28 million) on August 18 for sale. Bhutan's national bitcoin reserves, initially built through cost-effective mining powered by hydropower, have significantly declined. Holdings reportedly dropped from over 13,000 BTC in October 2024 to just 4,453 BTC by March 2026, with the sell-off continuing. The transfers coincide with a bitcoin price recovery, with the cryptocurrency trading near $77,600 at the time of reporting, marking significant daily and weekly gains.
