In the crypto market, 'Binance delisting' has always been seen as a significant negative, but recent data has overturned traditional perceptions. Two tokens delisted by Binance—$ALPACA and $VOXEL—rose an astonishing 50 times and 8 times respectively, attracting widespread market attention.
This is not a coincidence, but a recurring market pattern:
Massive Short Position Establishment
Short Squeeze
Investor FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) Sentiment Rising
Liquidation-Induced Surge Cycle
Taking $ALPACA as an example, after the delisting announcement, over $50 million in liquidation occurred within 24 hours, even surpassing BTC and ETH. This 'liquidation pump' becomes a hidden speculative opportunity.
Why does this happen?
After the token is announced to be delisted, many investors habitually short. However, with the decrease in liquidity, even a slight buying pressure can trigger a short squeeze. When FOMO sentiment adds to this, prices may surge dramatically in a short time.

Conclusion
In the current crypto market, 'Binance delisting' is no longer equivalent to a doomsday alert. Instead, it may become the best signal for savvy investors to position themselves in potential coins. Especially during market downturns, these 'undervalued niche coins' are more likely to be targeted by institutional shorts, creating conditions for extreme price rebounds.
Of course, with high returns come high risks. Investors should carefully assess entry and exit timing when positioning in such opportunities, considering market sentiment, on-chain data, and liquidity conditions.
Delisting ≠ end; sometimes it is precisely the beginning of a surge.
