Over $100 Million in Bitcoin Short Positions Get Liquidated Within an Hour

The crypto market just witnessed a massive short squeeze—more than $100 million worth of BTC short positions were wiped out in a single hour. This kind of sharp liquidation typically signals a dramatic price move or sudden bullish momentum that caught traders off guard. Such large-scale shorts getting cleared often acts as a trigger for further upside, as liquidated positions can amplify market moves. Worth watching how the market responds in the coming hours.

The short positions got liquidated again. Was it this intense? In just one hour, $100 million was wiped out. How many people would need to be liquidated to cause this?

ngl this $100m liquidation reeks of coordinated activity... transaction patterns don't just happen this cleanly without some whale orchestration tbh. statistical anomaly or classic pump setup? traced the wallet clustering and something feels *off* here. need to dig deeper into those funding rate spikes before jumping on the bullish narrative everyone's peddling rn
