Bitcoin breaks through the $91,000 mark, and a wave of short liquidations hits within 24 hours. Data shows that over $166 million worth of cryptocurrency short positions were liquidated in the past day. This wave of liquidations reflects a rapid shift in market sentiment— as BTC continues to climb, short sellers face increasing losses, triggering a chain reaction of stop-loss liquidations. In the short term, large-scale liquidations often push prices higher, creating a positive feedback loop. In the long term, such large-scale liquidation events also test the market's true support levels. Investors need to closely monitor subsequent developments, especially in high-volatility environments where risk management of leveraged positions is particularly crucial.

The shorts got blown to bits; this wave moved too quickly. 166 million in liquidation; how many people are crying in the bathroom? 91k is not the end; we're just getting started. Leverage traders should be reflecting on their lives now. What lessons does this market cycle teach us? Don't be greedy.

$166 million liquidation, this is the consequence of not having a proper risk model, just as deadly as missing overflow checks in smart contracts. --- Short-term feedback loops driving up prices? That logical flaw needs fixing; genuine support levels are the key variables. --- High leverage is just re-entrancy attack on oneself; deserved to be liquidated. --- Another bloody lesson: daring to short without proper position auditing, amateur move. --- Chain reaction of liquidations, the market is testing its own vulnerabilities—interesting. --- Is $91k just an artificial high or a real breakthrough? It depends on who comes to take over next. --- This is when risk control flaws are most likely to be exposed; unfortunately, most people can't learn from it. --- Positive feedback loops will eventually consume themselves; haven't seen the ceiling yet.

theoretically speaking, if we model the liquidation cascade as a recursive state verification problem... the real question is whether this $91k breakout is actually sustainable or just another cross-rollup arbitrage artifact getting liquidated at the bridge layer

Shorts are slaughtered; this is the cost of leverage trading.

The shorts are getting hit again, this is the price of betting on the right direction. --- Watching this liquidation wave reminds me of the last time. Leveraged traders are really playing on hard mode. --- $166 million in a day explosion—how many people can't sleep? Haha. --- The true support level can only be seen after it drops; anything said now is just useless talk. --- It's that feedback loop theory again; anyway, I don't believe it. --- Leverage risk management? Laughable. Most people don't even understand what margin is. --- That barrier at 91,000 was easily crossed; it feels like we should push higher. --- This time, the shorts have paid enough tuition. It's time to turn over a new leaf and go long.
