TOP STORY

Bitcoin has rallied more than $10,000 since Sunday to tap $119,000 on Thursday — and some more upside may be left to capture in the short term.

Glassnode data shows BTC defending its short-term holder cost basis (~$111,600), a reliable support since May 2025.

After dipping to $109,000 post-FOMC rally, BTC rebounded toward $118,800, indicating strong buy-side demand.

But this short-term rally is not done yet…
