Bitcoin price reclaims $68K amid short liquidations and bullish Nvidia earnings
203
Feb 26, 2026
Bitcoin price rebounded over 7% to $69,487 on Thursday amid a spike in short liquidations and improved risk-on sentiment following a bullish Nvidia earnings report.
Bitcoin price shot up to an intraday high of $69,487 on Thursday, Feb. 26, before settling around $68,200 at press time, still holding 4.6% gains over the past 24 hours. The bellwether’s rebound follows just two days after it fell under $63,000 amid investor fears over macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty.
Bitcoin price rallied as investors bought the asset during the recent dip in prices. As BTC price rose, it triggered liquidations of highly leveraged bearish bets across leveraged crypto markets. Data from CoinGlass shows that roughly $576 million worth of positions were liquidated from BTC futures, with around $470 million coming from short positions. Bitcoin alone accounted for $194 million in short liquidations.
Bullish Nvidia earnings lift market sentiment
Another major tailwind that boosted BTC price and other altcoins came from investors embracing a risk-on sentiment as stocks posted modest gains and broader risk sentiment improved with Nvidia Corp.’s latest bullish earnings report.
Notably, the Dow Jones Index increased by 307 points on Wednesday. At the same time, the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 indices jumped by 351 and 56 points.
The return of inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs also likely played a modest part in improving investor sentiment. Data from SoSoValue show that the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $257.7 million in inflows on Wednesday, marking the first triple-digit inflows figures since Feb. 10.
