🧠 Bears bet on the dip... and the market punished them hard
Early this morning, we touched
$BTC at $80,594 — the highest price since late January.
But many traders entered with heavy short positions... and the result was a clear Short Squeeze.
📊 In just 24 hours:
➡️ $370 million in liquidations
➡️ 97,235 traders exited the market
➡️ $301 million of that were just short positions
In simpler terms:
The bears lost way more than the bulls.
Why did this happen?
When short positions accumulate excessively, any strong upward push can lead to cascading liquidations — driving the price up quickly.
What supports this movement?
In April alone, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs attracted nearly $1.97 billion.
This means institutional liquidity is still present, while part of the market was betting on a dip.
The level the market is watching now:
The $83,600 area looks like a pivot point.
Staying above it could strengthen the bullish continuation scenario, while failing could bring volatility back in a big way.
❓ Question for you:
Was this just a temporary Short Squeeze?
Or is the market gearing up for a bigger breakout?
