Bitcoin Breaks $79,000, Short Positions Liquidated $350 Million Liquidated

The rise of Bitcoin to the $79,000 level on Wednesday (22/4) triggered the liquidation of short positions worth more than $350 million. This massive short squeeze phenomenon fuels the market rally further, forcing traders to close their positions forcibly and accelerating the price increase in a short period.
​Market data shows that this volatility significantly changes the landscape of competition in the prediction market. Bitcoin's chances of reaching the psychological level of $80,000 in April now soar to 80.5%, sharply up from 44% the previous day. This reflects growing investor optimism about the continuation of the bullish trend in this second quarter.
​Although global geopolitical factors and oil prices remain in the background, institutional liquidity flows entering the market seem to dominate price movements. Breaking the $79,000 level is seen as a confirmation signal that Bitcoin has a strong foundation to test new all-time highs. The market's focus now shifts to trading volume resilience to maintain the upward momentum toward the next price target.

There is a temporary rejection there, but between the 83k to 84k area, there is a CME gap. Will that CME gap be filled this week?
