According to @WatcherGuru, $155 million of crypto short positions were liquidated in the past 60 minutes, indicating a concentrated wipeout of bearish leverage in derivatives markets (source: @WatcherGuru on X). Clustered short-liquidation waves are consistent with short-squeeze mechanics that force buybacks and can amplify upside volatility in perpetual futures and spot pairs (source: CME Group education on short covering and squeezes). For trade setup and risk control, monitor funding rates and aggregate open interest to assess whether leverage is resetting or re-levering, which helps confirm or fade squeeze momentum (source: Binance Futures education on funding and open interest).
