💥 Market momentum in numbers: $951 million liquidated, shorts paid the price — but funding is still calm
$BTC $ETH A numbers-based breakdown of the rebound, without exaggeration:
• Liquidations: $951 million over 24 hours, including $560 million in shorts — meaning short sellers fueled the rally
• Bitcoin alone: $403 million in liquidations, 76 percent of them shorts
• Ethereum: $239 million in liquidations, more than half of them shorts
• Funding: around 0.0075 percent for Bitcoin — close to neutral, so buyers aren’t overextended yet
• Open interest: rose about 6.6 percent as prices climbed — new money, not just positions closing
🔢 The number that changed the story: 76 percent of Bitcoin liquidations were shorts.
The takeaway in one line: the rally was driven more by forced buying than by conviction — which makes holding above $80,000, not the peak itself, the real proof.
Quick question: Do short liquidations reassure you or make you worry about a quick pullback? Reply “reassure” or “worry.”
