Bitcoin breaks $80,000 amid risk-on rebound and ETF inflows

  • Bitcoin traded at $80,856, up 5.60% over the past day
  • U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $159.5 million on September 17, led by IBIT
  • Bank of Japan raised rates to 1.25% in a 7-2 vote
  • Bitcoin futures liquidations over the past day totaled about $230.6 million
Why it matters: The rally's sustainability depends on repeat ETF inflows: one day does not confirm a demand reversal, and the share of short squeezes in the move remains unclear.
