Long-term Treasury yields had been grinding higher, with the 30-year touching 5.34% earlier this week, its highest level since 2007, and that was weighing on risk assets. Then Treasury announced it would at least double the size of its liquidity-support buybacks in the longer-dated sectors, from $2 billion per operation to at least $4 billion.

Traders had been short into weeks of sideways price action, with liquidation levels stacked just above the range.

A forced close on a short is a buy order, so the higher Bitcoin went, the more forced buying it created. More than a billion dollars of shorts were liquidated in about an hour. It wasn't only a squeeze. US spot Bitcoin ETFs took in more than $500 million yesterday, their biggest daily inflow since early May.
