🔹 Low-liquidity time = very few buyers & sellers
🔹 Big players place large buy orders in BTC & ETH
🔹 With little resistance, price jumps sharply
🔹 Short traders are using leverage
🔹 When price moves up, their losses increase fast
🔹 Exchanges force-close (liquidate) those shorts
🔹 Forced closures become market buy orders
🔹 This creates a chain reaction, pushing price higher
That’s how $50M+ shorts were liquidated in minutes.
⚠️ Is it manipulation?
It’s exploiting market structure. Big money knows where leverage is stacked and uses thin liquidity to trigger liquidations$BTC
