đ„ More Than $1 Billion in Bitcoin Shorts Liquidated in Just One Hour
The crypto market is getting absolutely brutal again.
As Bitcoin surged toward $70,000, more than $1 billion worth of short positions were reportedly liquidated within just one hour.
Short sellers were caught on the wrong side of the move, triggering a massive wave of forced buybacks as leveraged positions were automatically closed.
This is exactly the kind of move that can create a short squeeze:
Price rises â shorts get liquidated â forced buying pushes price higher â even more shorts get wiped out.
It's been a long time since we've seen a liquidation cascade of this scale in such a short period.
And with BTC now approaching the psychologically important $70K level, volatility could get even crazier from here.
The market has officially gone from boring to absolute carnage. đ„
