Bitcoin Soars to $79,271.70 in Biggest Three-Day Rally Since 2023
Bitcoin surged to $79,271.70 on August 24, 2026, in what CNBC called the biggest three-day rally since 2023.
The Treasury buyback operation triggered a massive short squeeze, blowing up positions that had been betting bitcoin would stay below $67,000.
Rising bitcoin dominance alongside a flat total crypto market cap confirms this is a BTC-led rally rather than broad market euphoria.
On-chain data shows genuine activity, but the daily RSI at 82.45 sits deep in overbought territory, signaling that the move may be running ahead of its structural foundation.
