More than $1 billion in Bitcoin short positions are at risk of liquidation just above the $120,000 mark. Recent data shows a dense cluster of leveraged shorts between $119,500 and $121,000 across major exchanges—if Bitcoin’s price breaks this resistance, it could trigger forced buybacks exceeding $1.1 billion, fueling a rapid price surge. Analysts highlight $120,000 as a critical short squeeze zone, with large liquidation volumes potentially amplifying bullish market momentum should BTC move decisively higher.
