Here's what happened when Bitcoin decided to pump hard during the Asia session, catching shorts completely off guard.
Traders sitting on leveraged shorts felt that familiar pain of rapid liquidations eating into their accounts. Missing the entry on the long side or not knowing when to cover can turn a small loss into a disaster.
The move squeezed those positions and sent $BTC pushing toward $87K. Liquidity dries up in Asia hours, so even moderate buying can trigger a chain reaction of stop losses.
This setup reminds me of the short squeeze last year when $BTC rallied similarly while $ETH and $SOL took a backseat. Bitcoin often leads these moves unlike some altcoins that fizzle out.
What we learn from this is watching those session flows closely. Overcrowded shorts in quiet periods create the perfect conditions for a squeeze.
Where do you think this goes from here?
