BEARS JUST GOT DESTROYED.

$BTC shorts got liquidated for over $2.7B as price ripped above $70K.

A lot of traders caught on the wrong side.

This is exactly why leverage matters.

When positioning becomes too one-sided, the market doesn't need much fuel to trigger a violent move in the opposite direction.

$BTC didn't just move higher — it forced billions in bearish bets to unwind.

Now the question:

Was this the start of the next leg higher... or did the market just flush out excessive leverage before the next battle?
