Bitcoin surged past $115,000 on Sunday, marking its highest price in two weeks as traders reacted to easing macroeconomic concerns and a wave of short position liquidations.
According to market data, bitcoin rose 3% in the past 24 hours to $115,179, while ether jumped 6% to $4,187.
Analysts attributed this rally to positive sentiment around potential U.S.-China trade progress and expectations of an upcoming Federal Reserve rate cut.
Rachael Lucas, an analyst at BTC Markets, explained:
“These price movements are not isolated spikes but part of a broader, sustained trend supported by macroeconomic tailwinds, tightening on-chain supply, and strong technical indicators.”
The rally prompted a sharp unwinding of bearish bets.
Data from Coinglass indicates that approximately $347.5 million in short positions were liquidated over the past day, with $160 million of that occurring in just 30 minutes.
Most liquidations were concentrated in bitcoin perpetual contracts, fueling further price acceleration.
Vincent Liu, CIO at Kronos Research, commented:
“Millions in short liquidations indicate a classic short squeeze within bearish traders were forced to cover as prices surged, accelerating the move upward.”
With bitcoin nearing its all-time high of $126,080, market observers are anticipating a potential ‘Santa Claus Rally’—a seasonal year-end price surge.
Nick Ruck, Research Director at LVRG, told The Block that a continuation of bullish momentum is likely, especially after the recent halving cycle.
Lucas added that a 15% to 25% rally from current levels could push bitcoin to $130,000–$150,000 by the end of 2025.
The traditional year-end rally is typically driven by holiday liquidity, portfolio repositioning, and upbeat market sentiment.
Upcoming Federal Reserve decisions and progress on U.S.-China trade talks are expected to remain key drivers.
With the next FOMC meeting scheduled this week and a high probability of a rate cut, traders are watching macroeconomic and on-chain indicators closely.

KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) – As the weather starts to drop, more people are turning on their heat.
Space and portable heaters are also popular options for people to help stay warm, but these can pose an additional fire safety issue.
William Eads is the Fire Chief with the Loudendale Volunteer Fire Department. He responds to calls several times a year for a fires that could have been started by a space or portable heater, especially as the weather turns cold.
“If you listen to Metro 911, you’ll hear a lot more fires being dispatched. Structure fires, people that are living in conditions where the heat doesn’t work in the home and their supplementing their house with this,” Eads said.
Eads said the best place to put a space heater if you are using one in your home is on top of the stove.

Between balancing schoolwork, classes and social life, it can be difficult for students to get the sleep they need to be successful in school. But sleep is an important facet of any college student’s well-being.
According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least a quarter of college students experience insomnia, and the condition is heavily associated with students who have depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Christine Spadola, School of Social Work assistant professor, said the amount of sleep each person needs can vary. She said the belief that everyone needs eight hours of sleep is false.
“They say eight hours can be average, but it could be about six to eight hours,” Spadola said. “It’s very individualized. You’re going to know your own sleep need.”
Diet and exercise can play an important role in sleep. Spadola said the more active a person is during the day, the more natural inclination they will have to sleep.
The bedroom environment also plays a role. The amount of light and the temperature in the room can affect sleep. Spadola recommends eye shades, if blackout curtains are too expensive, and cooling the room.
Undeclared business freshman Eduardo Torres said as a commuter, he has to get enough sleep to be able to wake up early and get to school on time.
Torres said he also has found it difficult to manage commuting, going to class, doing classwork and sleeping.
“Your body needs to rest at some point,” Torres said. “If you don’t let it rest, it doesn’t reset, and it’s still tired [from] the day before.”
Biology freshman Eve Gorham said if she had to give tips to another student struggling with sleep, she would say to stop procrastinating.
“Stop procrastinating doing their work, take some naps between the day, sleep on the weekends, do homework as well,” Gorham said.
Spadola said she has seen that the more people obsess over sleep, the harder it can be to obtain.
“Sleep is like love: You can’t force it,” she said. “All you can do is set the stage for sleep.”

The Powerball jackpot continues to grow after no one matched all six Powerball numbers to win Wednesday’s drawing.
Grab your tickets and check your numbers to see if you’re the game’s newest millionaire.
Here are the numbers for the Saturday, Oct. 25, Powerball jackpot worth an estimated $344 million with a cash option of $164.0 million.
The winning numbers for Saturday night’s drawing were 2, 12, 22, 39, 67, and the Powerball is 15. The Power Play was 2X.
No one matched all six numbers to win the Powerball jackpot.
A ticket sold in Minnesota matched all five numbers except for the Powerball worth $1 million.
A ticket bought in Virginia matched all five numbers except for the Powerball worth $2 million.
Double Play numbers are 3, 24, 46, 58, 61, and the Powerball is 7.
Zero tickets matched all six numbers, and no one matched all five numbers except for the Powerball worth $500,000.
The Powerball jackpot for Monday, Oct. 27, 2025, rises to $358 million with a cash option of $170.7 million, according to powerball.com.
Drawings are held three times per week at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
You only need to match one number in Powerball to win a prize. However, that number must be the Powerball worth $4. Visit powerball.com for the entire prize chart.
Matching two numbers won’t win anything in Powerball unless one of the numbers is the Powerball. A ticket matching one of the five numbers and the Powerball is also worth $4. Visit powerball.com for the entire prize chart.
A single Powerball ticket costs $2. Pay an additional $1 to add the Power Play for a chance to multiply all Powerball winnings except for the jackpot. Players can also add the Double Play for an additional $1 to have a second chance at winning $10 million.
