Bitcoin’s 13% Four-Day Rally Meets a Test of Conviction After Pullback

Bitcoin retreated from an eight-month high in early Asian trading after a four-day advance of more than 13%, a move that has revived the question of whether the market is seeing durable demand or a rapid positioning reset. The token traded around US$85,500 in Singapore after reaching US$87,381 in the preceding United States session. Those are point-in-time prices rather than a guarantee of where it will trade later in the day.
