Bitcoin jumps to $86,000, its highest since May, liquidating about $750m in shorts

Bitcoin pushed to $86,000 on 21 September 2026, its highest level in four months, after a break of the $82,000 level earlier in the day liquidated roughly $750 million in short positions as leverage rebuilt. A close above $83,000 would open the way toward $90,000, market watchers said.
