short

In questo post, condividerò una posizione short in BTC che intendo aprire e perché.
Sarà una posizione di swing trading in almeno 4 fasi: 2 vendite di apertura e un minimo di 2 chiusure, poiché è così che di solito faccio, e sarà come segue:

- Prima vendita con il 50% del capitale a 75,000 --> prezzo situato in una zona di alta resistenza a causa della presenza della media mobile a 50 periodi sul grafico giornaliero, che ha anche servito come minimi nell'aprile 2025 e massimi nel marzo 2024. Questo, combinato con la sua coincidenza con il livello di ritracciamento di Fibonacci 0.38, un ordine blocco sul grafico giornaliero, e un gap di valore equo (FVG) sul grafico settimanale, crea una zona ideale per aprire una posizione short.

Over the last couple of days I’ve been watching the market pretty closely, mostly because things started moving faster than I expected. One thing that really caught my attention was the sudden spike in liquidations during the recent rally. According to the data I was looking at, roughly $110M in short positions got wiped out, and that seemed to push the market even higher.
At first I wasn’t really sure why the move felt so aggressive.
#Bitcoin and the broader market had already been recovering a bit, so I assumed the rally was just normal buying pressure returning. But when I started checking liquidation data and heatmaps, it made more sense. A lot of traders had been heavily shorting the market after the previous pullback. When price began pushing upward again, those short positions started getting forced out.
That’s where things got interesting.
When #short liquidations start stacking up, they basically act like fuel for the rally. Shorts getting liquidated means forced market buying. And when that happens in clusters, price can move way faster than organic buying alone.
After watching it for a few days, the pattern became pretty obvious.
The rally didn’t just look like spot buying from investors. It looked like a classic short squeeze dynamic. Every time the price pushed into a resistance level, more shorts got liquidated, which then pushed price even higher. That feedback loop can create surprisingly sharp moves.
I was looking at liquidation heatmaps earlier, and you could clearly see clusters of shorts sitting above certain price levels. Once price broke into those zones, the liquidations triggered quickly. It’s one of those moments where you can literally watch the market mechanics unfold.
I’ve seen similar setups before, especially during volatile phases in crypto. But what made this one stand out is how quickly sentiment flipped.
Just a week or two ago, a lot of traders were leaning bearish. You could feel it in the community discussions. Funding rates were cooling off, people were expecting another leg down, and many were positioning short on perpetual futures.
Then the #market started creeping upward again.
What caught my attention was how fast those bearish positions got punished. Within hours, liquidation trackers started showing tens of millions getting wiped out. Eventually the total crossed around $110M in shorts, which is a pretty decent amount for a short time window.
I even tried a small trade myself just to observe the reaction. Nothing huge — more like a test position. The moment price pushed through a liquidation cluster, volatility spiked almost instantly. That’s usually a sign that leveraged traders are getting squeezed out.
From a market structure perspective, these moments are fascinating.
Short squeezes can sometimes mark the early stage of a stronger trend reversal, but they can also just be temporary spikes. That’s the tricky part. Liquidation-driven rallies can look powerful, but they don’t always sustain unless real spot demand follows.
Comparing this to other rallies we’ve seen in the past year, this one feels a bit more mechanical so far. The movement seems heavily influenced by leverage positioning rather than purely organic buying.
You can see it in the charts too.
The candles during the squeeze were sharp and aggressive, with quick wicks and sudden momentum bursts. That’s usually what happens when liquidations start cascading. It’s less smooth than a normal accumulation rally.
Another thing I noticed is how quickly the community narrative shifted again.
When prices started rising, suddenly people began talking about the next bull phase again. Crypto sentiment flips incredibly fast. Just days ago everyone was cautious, and now some traders are already talking about new highs.
Personally, I try to stay a bit skeptical during these moments.
Short squeezes are powerful, but they can also create overextended price moves. Sometimes the market cools off right after the liquidation wave ends. Once the forced buying disappears, price can slow down quickly.
One thing I’m still unsure about is whether this move is being supported by strong spot demand from institutions or if it’s mostly leverage-driven momentum.
If real capital keeps flowing in, the rally could continue building. But if this was mainly a short squeeze event, the market might need time to consolidate again.
Either way, seeing $110M worth of shorts liquidated in such a short period definitely explains why the market bounced so aggressively.
Moments like this are a reminder of how leverage can amplify everything in crypto — both up and down.
For now, I’m mostly watching the liquidation data and funding rates. They tend to reveal a lot about what’s actually driving the move behind the scenes.
Maybe it’s the start of a bigger recovery… or maybe it was just the market squeezing out overly confident shorts.
Either way, I’ll be watching the charts a bit more closely this week.
