Short Squeeze Sends $18M in Shorts Packing
Crypto markets experienced $26.3 million in liquidations over 24 hours, primarily driven by short position liquidations worth $18 million.
This indicates a short squeeze, where bearish traders are forced to close positions due to rising prices, rather than a broad market selloff.
Bitcoin led the way with nearly $14 million in liquidated shorts, followed closely by Ethereum at $3.78 million.
