Bitcoin’s Price Surge to $104K Liquidates Nearly $400M in Bearish BTC Bets, Opening Doors to Further Gains

Bitcoin just napalmed the bears. A violent surge to $104,000 triggered the mother of all short squeezes, vaporizing nearly $400 million in pessimistic bets against BTC. Now, with resistance levels obliterated, traders are eyeing uncharted territory.

The liquidation bloodbath—courtesy of leverage addicts who forgot crypto winters always end—cleared the path for what could be the next leg up. Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts scramble to revise price targets they swore were ’overly optimistic’ three months ago.

One thing’s certain: when Bitcoin decides to move, it doesn’t ask permission from the ’efficient market hypothesis.’ Buckle up.
