Record-breaking daily volume: BTC surpasses 72,500, revealing the despair behind the 0.81 retail long-short ratio and the short squeeze


BTC strongly breaks through the $72,000 resistance level, officially entering a no-resistance rally. Through an analysis of the 315 million liquidation data across the entire network, we dissect the hardcore logic behind this main upward wave:
1. Extreme Short Squeeze Momentum: In the past 24 hours, short liquidations totaled $275 million, accounting for nearly 90%. The "short trap" at the 70,000 level has become the core engine driving the price toward 72,500.
2. Capital Divergence: Retail traders collectively fear heights and are bearish with a long-short ratio of 0.81, while top traders maintain a net long position of 1.11. Major players are leveraging this extreme divergence for the final accumulation. Retail consensus is often used to be harvested; until whales withdraw, shorts are just fuel.
3. Massive Turnover Verification: The entire network saw 110 billion contracts traded in a single day plus 12.4 billion spot transactions, with Binance, OKX, and Gate recording hundreds of billions in turnover. This proves that the support above $70,000 is extremely solid, making the breakout logic unbreakable.
Trading Strategy:
Avoid chasing the top: Under the dominant 1.11x heavy position suppression, do not oppose the trend.
Entry plan: Entering now still offers trend premium. It is recommended to build a position lightly at current prices, placing orders in batches at $70,000–$71,500.
Exit logic: Closely monitor when the account’s long-short ratio surges from 0.8 to over 2.0 in a frenzy—that’s the top signal. Data penetration is fundamental; strategy determines the outcome. BTC has entered the "Starry Sea," let profits ride the main upward wave for a while!
