Analysis

Bitcoin just delivered the largest short squeeze in years, ripping from $63K to $70K and triggering $3.67B in 24-hour liquidations.

BTC accounted for $1.70B while ETH added $1.36B as shorts capitulated across the board.

Price now sits at $71238.9 after testing upper Bollinger resistance at $70807.94 with RSI(14) at 88.16 flashing overbought conditions and MACD confirming the bullish golden cross at 1654.37; a healthy retracement toward the EMA50 support at $65083.77 appears likely before the next leg higher in any updated BTC price prediction.
