#美国就业数据不及预期 Bitcoin repeatedly tests the range between 94,000 and 98,500 USD, and the market is revealing a dangerous signal: the liquidation orders are piling up to a frightening level at this price point.

Look at what traders are doing now. Almost everyone is shorting in the 96,000 to 98,000 USD range. It seems very smart, right? But what’s the result? The more shorts pile up, the more they dig their own graves. The risk of a short squeeze is quietly brewing. Once triggered, the rebound can be shockingly strong.

My straightforward judgment: if $BTC truly stabilizes above 98,000 USD, it will likely skyrocket straight to over 100,000 USD. Those still shorting at that point are basically committing suicide. And for the entire market? This could actually be the starting point for a bigger rally.

Why am I hesitant to short now? Honestly, it’s not about complex technical analysis, but about the lessons I’ve learned from past losses. Market history repeatedly shows us—whenever everyone thinks the top is in and they can lock in profits, a reversal often happens right at that moment. Especially when prices break through psychological barriers, the subsequent upward momentum can be unexpectedly fierce.

This is the most painful part of the market: the most predictable trends are often the ones that trap you the easiest. My feeling tells me that now is not the time for shorts, but rather a period to patiently wait for that real reversal opportunity.

The short accumulation is so intense that I have some doubts. I've seen this trick too many times. The losses I've suffered have truly made me wiser. Now they all look like bait. If the 98,000 mark really breaks, I'm afraid it will lead to a massive liquidation.

It's the same story again, everyone is bearish but expecting a reversal? I've heard that too many times, buddy. The short squeeze joke is overused, still need to keep chopping the leeks. If it truly stabilizes at 9.8, I'll consider you the winner, but don't forget you said the same last time. Learning from losses, that excuse sounds a bit lame. Just because everyone is short, does it mean it must rebound? Why? Here we go again with the psychological price level talk. Why do I keep seeing shorts making money? Every time it's "this time is different," but eventually, it will crash.

the liquidation cascade at these levels is giving me serious network effects flashbacks... except this time it's capital destruction instead of adoption curves lmao. everyone shorting 9.6-9.8 thinks they're early adopters of bearishness but they're just mainstreaming their own rekt

They're just stacking shorts there again, waiting to be squeezed out.

Is this wave of short positions about to be wiped out again? The liquidation orders around 98,000 are stacked up to an alarming level. Wait, this logic is reversed. The more people are bearish, the more dangerous it becomes? I need to think about this. It's another story of "everyone is wrong except me." Just listen, don't believe it completely. Those who dare to continue shorting above 98,000 must have a lot of confidence. But on the other hand, repeatedly testing this range does seem like brewing a big move. This article advises me not to short, which makes me even more cautious—it's a reverse indicator, right? $BTC If it skyrockets to 100,000, I’ll die laughing—looks like a bunch of shorts getting liquidated.

Short positions are really piling up, always using the same tricks, and nine times out of ten, they'll reverse and kill you.
