🚨 About $40,000,000 worth of $ETH short positions were liquidated in the last 60 minutes. That means many traders who were betting on the price to go down were forced to close their trades as the market moved up. When this happens fast, the exchange closes those positions automatically. This adds extra buy pressure and can push the price even higher. That chain reaction is often called a short squeeze.

Why it matters: a big wave of liquidations can show strong momentum and rising confidence. But it also means volatility is high. After a squeeze, the price can jump, pause, or quickly pull back. Trade carefully, and do not chase green candles without a plan.

What to watch next:

- Funding rate (fee between longs and shorts). Rising rates can mean many traders are now long.

- Open interest (total futures positions). A drop can mean risk was flushed out.

- Spot vs. perps price. A big gap can signal overheated leverage.

- Volume and price structure. Look for follow‑through, not just wicks.

- News or big wallet moves that may keep the momentum going.

Stay safe: use small position sizes, clear stop‑losses, and avoid high leverage during fast moves. This post is not financial advice.
