$2.74 Billion in Crypto Shorts Liquidated as Bitcoin Surges to $70K
Crypto bears had a rough day over the past 24 hours.
Over $2.74 billion in short positions were wiped out as $BTC hit $70,000, pulling the rest of the market up with it.
$BTC rose more than 7%, while $ETH jumped nearly 18%, climbing back above $2,000.
As prices rose, traders betting against the market were forced to close their short positions and join the rally, pushing prices even higher.
A liquidation wave of this size can give the market strong momentum, but it doesn't guarantee the rally will last. Once the forced buying stops, traders will be watching to see if real demand is strong enough to keep prices moving.
For now, one thing is clear:
The bears got caught badly. Now the bulls have to prove they can keep the move alive.
