Over $140 million in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency shorts were liquidated within a 4-hour window, marking a significant shift in market momentum. The sharp liquidation spike suggests bulls have regained control of the price action, reversing the previous bearish pressure. This kind of large-scale short squeeze typically indicates a strong bullish impulse, with leveraged traders caught on the wrong side of the move. Market participants are closely watching whether this momentum can sustain and potentially trigger further upside moves in major cryptocurrencies.

The short positions got wiped out again, with 140 million cut. This wave is pretty intense.

1.4 billion short positions were liquidated? This time, the bearish guys are in big trouble, getting wiped out instantly. Is the short-term rally coming again? This move is really impressive, the bears are completely wiped out. I just love watching this. Haha, another slaughter, leveraged traders' accounts need to be bottomed out. This is the true nature of trading. Wait, can this really continue? Don’t tell me it’s just a rebound again, the tactics are too deep. A bit urgent, 1.4 billion liquidated in one hour is a bit too fierce, feels like something's going to go wrong.

1.4 billion shorts liquidated. I've been saying that this pullback is the golden opportunity for layout. Time waits for no one, everyone. 2. Is there still someone bearish now? The overall trend is already very clear; the opportunity is right in front of you. 3. I am greedy while others are fearful. I said last year to bottom fish, and now look at how it turned out. 4. Short-term fluctuations are just noise. Catching this track is the key. The logic I mentioned before has now been fully validated. 5. A big wave of market movement is coming. Those still hesitating will regret it in the end. 6. This is the secret to wealth. Most people haven't even realized it yet. 7. 1.4 billion shorts wiped out. The bull market signal is so obvious, how can you not see it? 8. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Those who laid out early are now smiling. 9. How many people are still tangled in these details? The core logic is actually that simple. 10. Shorts have been broken through. This is proof that the big trend I mentioned is arriving.

140 million liquidation, widespread bearish despair. Can this rebound continue?
