**🚨 $13.6M Liquidated: Over-Leveraged Shorts Crushed in $JCT Squeeze 📉⚡**
Volatility across $JCT derivatives caught speculative bears off guard over the last 24 hours, triggering aggressive liquidation cascades:
* **Heavy Short Squeeze:** Total 24-hour liquidations topped **$13.63M**, with shorts absorbing the brunt of the wipeout at **$10M** compared to $3.64M in long liquidations.
* **12-Hour Acceleration:** The vast majority of the damage happened within a 12-hour window, where **$9.88M in shorts** were forced closed as price action pushed stops.
* **Intraday Cooling:** While 4-hour liquidations remained skewed toward shorts ($2.12M vs $621K), 1-hour liquidations have tapered to ~$316K, indicating open interest is starting to stabilize.
**Market Takeaway:**
When shorts make up nearly three-quarters of daily liquidations, it signals a textbook short squeeze. Forced buy-backs remove aggressive downside pressure and clear speculative froth, often establishing a cleaner base for organic price discovery.
