A significant short squeeze saw $281 million in bearish positions liquidated over 24 hours, propelling Bitcoin towards $62,000.

Bitcoin has plummeted to a new multi-year low of $58,000, with derivatives data suggesting an overcrowded bearish sentiment that could trigger a short squeeze.

Bitcoin's recent climb above $63,000 led to the liquidation of $540 million in short positions, marking the highest such event in seven weeks.

Bitcoin saw a volatile weekend, surging past $63,000 and triggering over $504 million in short liquidations before geopolitical tensions caused a swift pullback.

A substantial $2.6 billion in leveraged short positions on Bitcoin could ignite a massive short squeeze if prices unexpectedly reverse from the $60,000 level.
