From the 1-hour liquidity distribution, short sellers are indeed facing significant squeezing. However, whether a short-term breakout is possible still needs further observation.

At the levels of 946 and 942 below, I noticed a large accumulation of chips. Based on the pace, this should be the result of aggressive traders who entered heavily during last night's operations.

Looking at the upper side? From the current price up to 98,000, I didn't find any large sell orders or chips. This pattern indicates that the upward pressure is relatively light.

But I want to sound a warning—risk management should still be prioritized. Market makers often act unexpectedly when they push prices up or down in the short term, and retail investors can easily be swept away if they're not careful. Positions should be reasonable, stop-losses well set, so that a short-term plunge doesn't wipe out previous gains.

The chips stacked at the 946 level are quite aggressive. The wave of entry last night was really fierce. It seems there was no significant resistance before 98,000 above, but the problem is that the big players love to surprise at this time, so we need to be cautious.

Position 946 indeed has quite a pile of chips. Last night, those people were probably trapped. Above, it dropped to 98k with a continuous decline, and this rhythm feels a bit strange. Stop-loss really needs to be set properly; don't get swept out.

The obstacle at 946 is indeed covered in bloodstains, and last night those ruthless people really didn't come for nothing. It's so empty up there, it feels like digging a pit and waiting. Honestly, this market is too risky right now. You need to set your stop-loss properly, so you don't get cut and still not know what happened.

ngl the liquidity gap above 98k is either a trap or these guys are genuinely sleeping at the wheel... empirically speaking, whenever orderbooks look *this* clean, institutionals are usually just waiting to rug retail. seen it play out too many times.

946 that position is really stacked quite heavily, those guys last night didn't hold back at all Hmm, wait, there are no sell-off orders at 98,000? This market is interesting To be honest, the market makers really dislike us early buyers, be careful of being swept out

Positions 946 and 942 are too obvious for stacking goods. Last night, the impatient traders left their traces, it's obvious at a glance. Above, it's so empty that there's little selling pressure even at 98,000. The setup is indeed tempting, but don't be greedy, brother. The market maker loves to give you a sudden slap. Remember to set your stop-loss and avoid getting swept out.
