The short squeeze scenario is heating up—if $BTC pushes past the $100K threshold, we're looking at a potential $9.1 billion liquidation event for bearish positions. That's a massive amount of capital on the line. Short sellers are essentially betting against the rally, but one decisive move above six figures could trigger a cascading wave of forced closures. The math is brutal when leverage meets momentum.

The bears are about to be squeezed out, and there is a high probability that there will be a good show to watch in this wave

Back when it was 99.5K, people were already hyping a breakthrough to 100K, and it's still the same tune now... 9.1B in liquidations sounds scary, but does the clearing out of shorts mean we can take off? Not necessarily.

910 million liquidation? The shorts really have to take this hit this time.

$9.1B in liquidations? The bears are probably going to bleed this time, but I bet BTC won't break $100,000 at all.

Lingering around 99K is truly torturous, just waiting for this one breakout. The bears are going to cry when it happens.
