Amazing, could we be reaching an infinite high? Bitcoin surged this Monday, September 21, 2026, once again exceeding all expectations, reaching the delightful value of $87k. This feat placed BTC at its highest level since January and represents, once again, a significant recovery after the sharp correction observed last week. For those who have been following Bitcoin (like all of us) for a long time, it is in these moments that one of the most striking and intense characteristics of this market becomes evident: what seemed like just another drop can quickly change when demand returns.
One of the most interesting aspects of this movement continues to be the US spot BTC ETFs. Last Friday, these products registered approximately US$433 million in net inflows, with Fidelity's fund standing out, receiving over US$310 million alone. Furthermore, many companies holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets continue to increase their positions. One example is Strategy, which announced the purchase of an additional 950 BTC for approximately US$75.7 million, further increasing its BTC reserves.
Another detail that makes this news special is that this strong surge triggered a flood of short selling. According to data from CoinGlass, cited by Coindesk and The Block, more than US$750 million in cryptocurrency positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with around US$648 million solely related to short positions. All of this helps explain why the movement gained so much strength and speed, since when the price rises, it forces leveraged sellers to repurchase their positions. This very buying can further fuel the appreciation.
With all this, those who have always believed can take advantage of the moment to realize profits or wait a little longer. Perhaps hold on longer or continue buying more. I, as a living example, missed the opportunity for $60,000 and now I see how expensive that is proving to be. In short, we must continue to believe, even if the charts seem discouraging or the news on social media is calamitous; BTC has a history of showing us its incredible resilience. Will the news tomorrow be about the $90k mark? Place your bets!
