$635M liquidated in 24H as trader predicts $100K Bitcoin short squeeze

Crypto markets have faced a wave of liquidations over the past 24 hours, with total losses reaching $635.9 million, according to market data. Most of the liquidations (over $560 million) came from short positions, signaling growing pressure on bearish traders. Bitcoin ( BTC ) led the liquidation charts, with $293 million in short positions wiped out as BTC surged past $94,000, marking a 6.29% gain within one day, according to CoinGlass data. Ether ( ETH ) followed, with over $109 million in short liquidations as its price climbed nearly 10% to $1,787. Data from exchanges showed Binance accounted for the largest share of liquidations at $18.7 million in the last four hours, with 78% of that targeting short positions. Bybit and OKX also saw significant liquidation volumes, reflecting widespread volatility across major platforms. Crypto market sees a wave of liquidations.

Trader says Bitcoin liquidity building around $100,000 level Amid the market turbulence, crypto analyst Mister Crypto noted that liquidity is “piling up around $100,000” for Bitcoin. In a recent post on X, he warned that bears are showing signs of desperation, suggesting a potential short squeeze could drive BTC closer to the six-figure mark. A short squeeze occurs when a rapid price increase forces traders betting against the market to cover their positions, fueling further upward momentum. Mister Crypto also shared a Binance BTC/USDT Liquidation Heatmap, showing that a large amount of Bitcoin trading activity and liquidation orders are building up around the $100,000 level, meaning many traders have set positions that could be triggered if the price reaches that point.

The leading cryptocurrency was trading at $94,236, up by more than 6% over the past day, at the time of writing, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

He said the outcome of the May 6 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, ongoing trade negotiations with India and China, and broader macro conditions will be critical. He added: “Cleared tariffs and potential Fed rate cuts could ignite further momentum, while rate hikes or unresolved tensions may keep BTC range-bound. US monetary policy will be pivotal in determining if Bitcoin reaches this milestone.” Magazine: XRP win leaves Ripple and industry with no crypto legal precedent set
