BREAKING: bitcoin breaks above $83,000 and wipes out $106m in short positions within 60 minutes. 💔
when BTC moves against heavily leveraged short sellers, exchanges automatically close positions once margin requirements are breached.
those forced closures can add buying pressure, pushing prices higher and triggering even more liquidations.
but here's the catch: a short squeeze can fuel a rally without guaranteeing a lasting trend reversal.
for BTC, the important question is whether spot buyers step in to sustain the move after the forced buying fades.
definitely a painful hour for bears, but can the bulls keep the momentum going?
