Of the five main rises at the moment, four are of currencies under monitoring, with one of them, the leader of the rise, already having a delisting date set.
This short squeeze is becoming more common nowadays as people are venturing deeper into the crypto universe and risking margin selling operations. The currency enters monitoring or has a delisting date marked and people start to sell short, hoping to quickly repurchase at a lower price.
That's where things get tricky. These assets are usually in the hands of a few people who manipulate the prices. They buy heavily and the currency rises, liquidating the short sellers who are forced to pay any amount when they hit the limit of their margins.
Remember that if you buy 100 dollars, the worst that can happen is losing that 100, but if you sell short the same 100 dollars, only the sky and all the money you have for margin will be devoured, with no limits to your loss.
