💥 Bitcoin just pumped and then crashed hard within a few hours: It's not bad news – but a familiar "trap"

📈 What happened yesterday (16/12)?

Bitcoin slightly increased to nearly 90,000 USD, the market was unusually quiet as many traders entered LONG leverage positions, believing the price would continue to rise.

💣 Then the crash occurred

Just a small decrease was enough for the exchange system to start liquidating a large number of LONG positions.

➡️ LONG positions were cut

➡️ Forced selling

➡️ Price dropped faster

➡️ More liquidations were triggered

The familiar domino effect of crypto.

📉 Result:

BTC dropped to nearly 85,000 USD in a short time

No major bad news

No macro FUD

→ This is a technical crash, not a crash of confidence.

⚖️ How did altcoins react?

ETH, SOL, BNB fell along with BTC

Altcoins dropped even more → due to higher leverage

Money flowed back to Bitcoin, no altcoin season yet

P/S: A quick Bitcoin crash is not the scariest time — the scariest is when it crashes and no one notices
