The "Short Squeeze" Magnet at $95,000
Historically, large clusters of short liquidations have been building between $94,500 and $95,000.
Intensity: Estimates from late 2025 and early 2026 suggested that a clean break above $95,000 could trigger over $160M–$200M in cumulative short liquidations.
The Launchpad Effect: Because short liquidations force traders to "buy back" their positions, hitting this cluster often acts as a propellant. Analysts noted that once $95k is cleared, the lack of immediate resistance could drive the price toward $98,000–$100,000 very quickly.
2. Current Price vs. Liquidation Zones
With Bitcoin trading near $95,433 today, the market is currently "sweeping" these high-value clusters.
Dealer Gamma: Market data shows that dealer gamma has flipped short between $95k and $104k, which mechanically reinforces upward moves as dealers hedge their positions.
The "Liquidity Sandwich": While the upside is being tested, a heavy layer of long liquidations sits below at $90k–$91k. If $95k is not sustained as a new floor, the price may gravitate back toward those lower clusters to "reset" the leverage.
