Heading towards $100,000 in Bitcoin

The market's confidence in this rally still seems weak.

The interesting part is: the short positions opened by skeptical investors are actually fueling this rise.

The mechanism is quite simple.

BEAR TRAP?

As Bitcoin tests the $95,000 level, a significant liquidity gap has appeared above. This gap creates a perfect environment for rapid momentum. If those shorting get trapped, the price could rise quickly due to a squeeze effect.

The pleasure of getting squeezed in a short position is even more satisfying than winning a battle royale game.

Shorts are really panicking this time; their short positions have become a fueling station for the rise.

The short position is still holding on, this is really funny.

actually, if we examine this short squeeze mechanism through the lens of game theory... the bears are literally funding their own liquidation rn. let's break it down: weak conviction + massive gaps above = recipe for chaos. think of it like musical chairs but everyone's terrified of sitting down lmao. caveat though—liquidity vacuums can swing both ways, empirically speaking.

Shorts this time are probably going to get squeezed to death

Short positions get squeezed out, and it's all over. Whoever shorts this wave will suffer losses.
