📍 The outcome
Bitcoin rebounded from Asian‑session lows, climbing back above $85,000 and topping $86,000, its highest level since January, as falling oil prices bolstered risk appetite and short‑seller liquidations surged. Analysts noted the end of the “crypto winter,” while Bitcoin ETFs turned positive and token holdings rose above $81,000.
