Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Bitcoin climbed above $80,000, trading near $80,510 for a 4.2% 24-hour gain, after midterm election results triggered a short squeeze. CoinGlass data showed $465 million liquidated market-wide in one hour, including $377 million in shorts, with BTC liquidations at $229 million (96.4% shorts) and ETH at $170 million. Total 24-hour liquidations reached $915 million across 117,549 traders. The move matters because it signals aggressive bearish positioning being flushed out, amplifying upside momentum. Traders will watch whether BTC holds the $80,000 level and whether funding rates and open interest cool as the market digests the squeeze.
