$23.8B in BTC shorts set for liquidation at $107,627
Surge in short positions could backfire as price rises
A short squeeze could send Bitcoin even higher
Bitcoin Shorts Build Up—But Could Backfire
According to the latest Binance liquidation heatmap, an eye-popping $23.8 billion worth of short positions could be wiped out if Bitcoin hits $107,627. This level has now become a key pressure point for the market, with many traders betting that BTC will fall—but they may be setting themselves up for a costly surprise.
Shorting Bitcoin involves borrowing BTC to sell high and buy back lower. But when the price rises instead, traders face forced liquidation. That’s what’s looming at $107K—a major cluster of shorts that could trigger a short squeeze.
What Is a Short Squeeze?
A short squeeze occurs when rising prices force short sellers to buy back into the market to cover their positions. This buying pressure fuels further price increases, creating a snowball effect. With $23.8B in shorts sitting at risk, Bitcoin could see a powerful surge if it reaches that liquidation level.
This setup creates a highly volatile environment. If Bitcoin edges closer to $107,627, traders may rush to exit their shorts early, adding more upward momentum. For bulls, this is a potential breakout signal; for bears, it’s a danger zone.

Market Watching Key Level Closely
All eyes are now on the $107K level. If bulls push BTC past that point, the cascading liquidations could propel Bitcoin well beyond its current range. As always, such moves come with both opportunity and risk—especially in a market known for rapid reversals.
Whether this squeeze happens depends on broader sentiment, volume, and macro triggers. But one thing is clear: Bitcoin’s next big move could be explosive.
