Bitcoin shorts faced a major squeeze over the past hour, with approximately $110 million in positions liquidated across major exchanges. The sharp move triggered cascading liquidations as leverage positions failed to hold support levels. This kind of large-scale short covering often signals rapid price momentum shifts and can fuel further upside moves as trapped shorts scramble to exit. Market participants are watching closely to see if this momentum sustains or if consolidation follows.

Over 100 million dollars liquidated, the shorts are shattered... Now it really depends on whether it can push higher later.

$110m liquidation? ngl, more worried about which exchange just got exploited tbh... those cascading liquidations reek of MEV manipulation. anyone actually audit the liquidation mechanics on these platforms? not financial advice but DYOR on your leverage positions before this turns into another incident report
