Bitcoin shorts were wiped off – Is the fuel for the rally or the highest signal?
Data shows that Bitcoin short liquidation has recently exceeded the longer liquidation. Is this shocking?
Bitcoin clearing oscillator is currently in negative zone
In a new post on X, crypto writer Axel Adler JR provides an overview of the futures market from the perspective of clearing the dominant oscillator. “Liquidation” refers to the powerful closure that any open contract will be subject to after accumulating a certain degree of loss (as defined by its platform).
Naturally, this happens after the price drop (bulking bet) of long-term contracts, while in a brief case (bearing bet) surge. The risk of these contracts being liquidated increases the leverage ratio chosen by investors.
The dominant oscillators of liquidation compare the long and short liquidations that occur throughout the department and represent their balance as 0% marks nearby oscillators.

This advantage of short-term clearing already exists as cryptocurrencies have reached new all-time highs (ATH). Judging from the chart, it is obvious that similar trends have been witnessed in past gatherings.
Often, large-scale liquidation incidents involving shorts help support upward space. But, as analysts highlight in the graph, the extreme dominance of short-term liquidation means that Bitcoin’s overheating conditions, with its price reaching the top beside it.
However, for the moment, the indicator sits at “Just” -11.5%. The rating at the end of 2024 saw that the measure reached a peak negative of -16.5%. Likewise, it reached -19% in April 2024 and -24% in January 2023.
“So, despite the recent pullback, the bullish momentum remains intact – there is no such “overheating” that can trigger a sharp reversal.”
