This is getting crazy.
Crypto just saw one of the biggest short squeezes ever, with more than $1 billion in Bitcoin shorts wiped out in roughly an hour. BTC pushed toward $70K while shorts were getting forced out one after another.
And the timing is what makes this move so interesting.
The CLARITY Act is still scheduled for a September vote, and President Trump publicly pushed Congress to pass it yesterday.
So I see two possibilities.
One: someone had strong conviction that the CLARITY Act is moving forward and positioned early. Once price started climbing, the shorts became fuel for the move.
Two: a major player saw thin liquidity, started buying aggressively, pushed price through key levels and basically forced the market to squeeze itself higher.
Either way, this wasn't a normal grind higher.
It was a chain reaction.
Price moves → shorts get liquidated → forced buying hits the market → price moves higher → more shorts get liquidated.
I've been watching crypto since 2016, and moves like this still make me stop and ask what happened behind the scenes.
The real question now isn't just how high BTC can go.
It's who was positioned before everyone else saw the move coming?
