Bitcoin Reclaims $63,000, Triggers Over $540 Million in Liquidated Shorts, Analysts Remain Cautious of Rally's Sustainability

2026.06.08 20:50:56

June 8 — Bitcoin rallied roughly 7.5% from a low of $59,400 over the weekend, briefly topping $63,800 on Monday. This bounce sparked a massive short squeeze: CoinGlass data shows the crypto market recorded $539 million in short liquidations alone on Sunday, the highest daily total since mid-April. Over the past 24 hours, total market liquidations topped $588 million, with around $444 million stemming from short positions. Stats show Bitcoin futures open interest fell from ~285,000 BTC last Friday to 255,000 BTC, signaling the recent upside was primarily fueled by the short squeeze. Meanwhile, the Spot and Perpetual Contract Volume Delta (CVD) has bounced back off its lows, pointing to a pickup in market buying pressure. That said, U.S. investor demand hasn’t bounced back sharply. The Coinbase Premium Index, which tracks U.S. fund flows, climbed from -0.048 last week to -0.035 but still sits in negative territory. Separately, SoSoValue data shows U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted net outflows of $1.72 billion last week, marking ongoing institutional sell-offs. On the sentiment front, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index slid to 8 — its lowest point since February 2026. Current projections from Myriad market participants put a 73% chance that Bitcoin will retest $55,000, versus a smaller probability of it climbing to $85,000. Paul Howard, Senior Director at Wincent, noted current CME Bitcoin volatility sits around 50 — a level hit only a handful of times over the past year — so he’s cautious about the rebound’s sustainability. Adam Haeems, Head of Asset Management at Tesseract Group, highlighted that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have logged outflows for 13 straight trading days, totaling roughly $4.4 billion. Robust U.S. non-farm payroll data has markets rethinking rate hike bets, driving capital into AI stocks and major IPO projects. He argues the current rally is more a technical bounce off a key long-term support level than a confirmed trend reversal.

Jiang Zhuoer: The CLARITY Act has only a 10% to 20% chance of passing, with major disagreements on ethical provisions persisting between the two parties.

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of BTC.TOP, stated in a post that the Clarity Act has only a 10% to 20% chance of passing, with major disagreements persisting solely on its ethics provisions. The proposal agreed by Trump only restricts the president and their spouse from engaging in crypto asset issuance, while Democrats demand including other family members and family entities in the restrictions. The two sides also failed to reach an agreement on law enforcement authority: Trump supports the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) being responsible for prosecuting violations, but Democrats argue the Attorney General is appointed by the president and demand granting state attorneys general the right to prosecute as well. Jiang believes that fully accepting the Democrats’ proposed restrictions would leave Trump with little incentive to sign the bill. Apart from the ethics provisions, multiple disagreements also exist in other parts of the legislation. The U.S. Congress will adjourn on August 7, with only around 10 working days remaining, leaving the procedural timeline extremely tight and making it difficult to bridge major divides before adjournment. He added that Congress’s session from September 14 to October 5 falls near the midterm elections, and lawmakers must also handle budget and appropriations agendas, with even a potential government shutdown risk. Democrats also lack the political incentive to push the bill through before the elections.
