Bitcoin has just broken through the $91,000 barrier, marking another milestone in the recent bull run. In tandem with this surge, the derivatives market is experiencing significant turbulence. Over $166 million worth of short positions have been liquidated within the past 24 hours, signaling aggressive bullish momentum and sharp moves catching leveraged traders off-guard. The liquidation cascade reflects heightened volatility and suggests heavy stop-loss hunting at key resistance levels. For traders watching the BTC/USDT pair, this combination of price strength coupled with large-scale liquidations indicates both conviction and risk—a classic setup where breakouts tend to accelerate as margin calls force position closures.

A short position worth 160 million USD was slaughtered; it proves that leverage players are still too naive.

16.6 billion in liquidity is really fierce, another batch of leverage traders being left behind
It's another day of others making money while I lose money
91,000... where is my short position
This round of stop-loss hunting, the hunter has become the prey
Liquidity is just the target price, now I understand

Here comes the harvest again, only 166 million liquidated? I've seen it worse last year.

honestly the $166m liquidation cascade is just textbook market inefficiency playing out. correlation matrix between leverage ratios and liquidation events shows statistically significant clustering around major support levels—but sure, keep blaming "whale manipulation" instead of understanding basic stochastic processes.
