📊 $800 Million Liquidated in 24 Hours: Short Squeeze Wave

In the last 24 hours, approximately $841 million worth of positions were liquidated in the cryptocurrency market. Around $671 million of this consisted of short positions, while long liquidations remained at $170 million.

Bitcoin and Ether Lead the Way

Bitcoin (BTC) liquidations led the way with $461 million, followed by Ethereum (ETH) with $176 million. BTC testing the $75,000 level triggered a chain-on liquidation wave in short positions.

The Dynamics Behind the Rise

This movement was supported by regulatory developments such as the crypto summit held at the White House and the SEC's proposal of new exemptions for token issuances. Short positions that had accumulated in the market following successive sell-offs were quickly forced to close as the price rose.

Assessment

A short squeeze at this level can be interpreted as a reaction against the market's long-standing downtrend. However, the main factor determining the market's direction after such liquidation waves is whether these forced purchases can be replaced by organic demand. Whether the price can hold at current levels in the coming days will be critical for the sustainability of the uptrend.
