About 80% of the liquidations in this rally came from shorts getting squeezed, not the longs most people watch for.
Traders keep getting wrecked fading these moves. You short expecting a pullback only to watch forced covering turn a bounce into a cascade that wipes the position.
The composition of those losses actually drives what happens next. Forced buybacks from liquidated shorts amplified an already rising market and helped accelerate $BTC while lifting $ETH and $SOL with it.
This kind of cascade is a real risk when too many people pile into one side. A modest bounce snowballs because every short taken out has to buy back, adding more fuel than organic demand alone would provide.
Fighting the trend with leverage can end badly faster than most expect.
What's your take on how much these squeezes are actually moving price from here?
