$VIDT short liquidation you referenced:
Liquidation Overview:
Asset: VIDT DAO Token ($VIDT)
Position Type: Short (the trader expected the price to go down)
Liquidation Amount: $43,970
Liquidation Price: $0.01803
What Happened:
The trader borrowed VIDT tokens and sold them at a higher price, expecting to repurchase them later at a lower price.
However, the price of VIDT rose to $0.01803, triggering the liquidation threshold.
At this price, the exchange automatically closed the position to limit further losses — a forced market buy took place, which realized a loss for the trader.
Significance:
Short Liquidation = Buying Pressure: When short positions get liquidated, it means tokens are being bought back at market price, often pushing prices higher.
This specific liquidation of nearly $44K suggests there was unexpected bullish movement in the VIDT market that caught short sellers off guard.
If more short liquidations followed, it could be part of a short squeeze, where rising prices trigger cascading liquidations and amplify upward momentum.
