Bitcoin’s trading just under $79,000, up about 25% on the week.

Ethereum ran even harder to $2,532, up nearly 35%, its first look at $2,500 in seven months.

For ten weeks we’ve written the same sentence over and over.

The range is coiling, the squeeze is wound tighter than we’ve ever seen it, and when it snaps the move’s going to be violent.

Last Saturday we said it flat out: the coil had never been tighter, the break was coming, and all we needed was to hold the range and rip upward.

This week, it ripped.

But the price is the easy part.

The interesting bit is why it moved, and that traces straight back to the biggest thing happening in the economy right now.

Let’s break it down. 👇

First, how it moved this fast.

That four-day run from roughly $62,000 to nearly $79,000 was, by most counts, the biggest short-liquidation streak crypto has ever seen.

More than $4 billion of bets against Bitcoin got wiped out in four days.

Here’s the imbalance in one line: shorts lost $3.79 billion over that stretch, longs lost just $687 million.

A squeeze like this feeds itself, and here’s how the loop works.

A short is a bet that price falls, so to make it you borrow Bitcoin, sell it now, and plan to buy it back cheaper later.

When price rips higher instead, that bet bleeds money, and eventually the exchange forces you to buy Bitcoin back to close it out.

That forced buying pushes the price up, which forces the next batch of shorts to buy, which pushes it up again.

Round and round it goes until every last short is flushed out.

That’s how a move that should’ve taken weeks got crammed into four days.

But a short squeeze is fuel, not a foundation.

It tells you how fast the market moved. It doesn’t tell you what lit the match.

For that, you’ve got to look at Washington, and at a bit of financial plumbing almost nobody outside the bond market was watching.
