Bitcoin Shorts Get Squeezed: Price Surge and Liquidation Mania!

Jul 11, 2025 at 07:09 am

Bitcoin's wild ride continues! Recent price surges trigger massive short liquidations, fueling the rally even further. Is this the start of something bigger, or just a fleeting squeeze?

Bitcoin Shorts Get Squeezed: Price Surge and Liquidation Mania!

Bitcoin Shorts Get Squeezed: Price Surge and Liquidation Mania!

Bitcoin is back in the spotlight, and this time it's personal… for the shorts! Recent market activity has been nothing short of explosive, with significant price surges triggering a cascade of short liquidations. Let's dive into what's happening and what it all means.

Bitcoin Blasts Past $112,000: Shorts Pay the Price

On July 10th, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $112,787.30 on Binance, according to TradingView. This surge completed a two-day climb from roughly $108,950 and eclipsed the previous day's peak of $112,000. But the real story lies in the liquidations. Over $50 million in Bitcoin shorts were liquidated in just one hour. More recently, a staggering $687.22 million in Bitcoin shorts were liquidated in a single hour, according to CoinGlass. These liquidations acted as rocket fuel, propelling Bitcoin even higher, exceeding $116,000.

What's Driving the Surge?

Several factors contributed to this impressive rally. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) registered $218 million in net creations on July 9th, marking the fifth consecutive positive session. This surge pushed cumulative inflows above $50 billion. BlackRock’s IBIT led the charge, demonstrating strong institutional demand. Macro conditions also played a role, with the dollar index slipping after Federal Reserve minutes suggested potential rate cuts “later this year.” Concerns about the inflationary effects of new US tariffs also added fuel to the fire.

Leverage Reset Unlocks Upside

Bitcoin futures on CME and Binance traded at annualized premiums of 9% to 11%, considered a neutral zone for this cycle. This suggests that directional bets are subdued compared to the 35% extremes seen during March's run-up. The market isn't overly leveraged, creating more room for upward movement. Technical analysis points to support around $107,000 and overhead resistance near $112,800 to $113,000.

Is This Just a Squeeze?

Transaction data indicates that short-term holders realized modest gains during the rally. The MVRV Z-Score, a metric used to gauge market euphoria, remains well below the threshold seen in past cycles. This suggests that while prices are high, the market isn't necessarily in a state of irrational exuberance. Analyst Martin Folb suggests Bitcoin has moved past a key accumulation zone, potentially targeting $125k and eventually $160k.

The Bottom Line

Bitcoin's recent surge, fueled by short liquidations and strong ETF demand, highlights the market's volatility and potential for explosive moves. Whether this is a sustainable rally or just a short squeeze remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear: betting against Bitcoin can be a costly game!

So, buckle up, folks! It's gonna be a wild ride. Will Bitcoin continue its ascent, or will the bears reclaim control? Only time will tell. But for now, let's enjoy the show and maybe… just maybe… DCA a little bit. 😉
