Market makers just ran the board — $300M+ in shorts liquidated in a few hours. Classic move: they wait for the news, then squeeze every overleveraged position off the table.

This all happened after Core CPI came in at a 5-year low.
Clean sweep play just ran its course. Took out lows, ripped into highs, then gave back 60% of the move after already liquidating longs. Now late shorts are stacking in, building fresh liquidity overhead — classic setup.
$BTC sitting ~1.2% below that liquidity zone. If we get a push here, it's a partial fill of those stops above. This is the game: hunt liquidity, trap the late crowd, move to the next pocket.
