$BTC SHOCKING: Bitcoin Explodes Past $97K — Shorts Obliterated in Minutes 🚨
Bitcoin just delivered a brutal wake-up call to the market. In a jaw-dropping move, BTC ripped over $2,100 in just one hour, smashing through the $97,000 level right as U.S. markets came online. This wasn’t a slow grind — it was a violent breakout that caught bears completely off guard.
The result? More than $123 million in short positions wiped out as forced liquidations fueled even more upside momentum. And this move isn’t happening in isolation. The broader crypto market is heating up fast, adding a staggering $290 billion in total market cap in only the first two weeks of 2026. Liquidity is flowing, volatility is back, and momentum traders are firmly in control.
Is this just the beginning of a much bigger leg up? Or the final trap before chaos?
