Bitcoin Short Squeeze Sends BTC Toward $71,000 After $2.74B Liquidation Wave
Share:
A record short-liquidation wave of $2.74 billion out of $2.99 billion total forced leveraged shorts and pushed Bitcoin toward $71,000, with BTC suffering roughly $1.42 billion and Ethereum about $1.13 billion in liquidations. The move looks like a short squeeze rather than confirmed demand, and BTC must hold $67,200 to signal sustainable crypto market strength so traders should watch on-chain, derivatives and CEX metrics for confirmation.
