$280 million in shorts got liquidated in 24 hours.
Bitcoin moved from $71K to $72K and the bears got destroyed.
Here's what actually happened:
Leveraged shorts stacked between $69K-$71K expecting breakdown. Instead, spot buyers absorbed every dip. When BTC pushed through $71.5K, the liquidation cascade triggered — and the same shorts that were supposed to push price down became rocket fuel pushing it up.
This is called a bear squeeze. And it's textbook.
What smart money did differently:
→ They didn't short into a market with declining exchange reserves
→ They watched funding rates go negative and recognized the crowded trade
→ They positioned long before the squeeze, not during it
At WIC, we've been saying the same thing since Q1: the setup favors patient longs, not reactive shorts.
The market doesn't reward the loudest opinion. It rewards the best positioning.
