Bitcoin Is Back at Its September High and Short Sellers Are Stacked Right Above It. What Happens If $88,000 Breaks?

Bitcoin has rallied back to roughly $87,000–$88,000, retesting its September high as short positions cluster above that level. A sustained break could force short covering and open a path toward $95,000, though resistance and volatility remain risks. The rally contrasts with Bitcoin still sitting well below its record high, underscoring that a breakout would signal renewed momentum rather than a confirmed return to peak levels.
