This week's liquidation landscape tells an interesting story across the majors.
BTC is showing notable pressure on the long side, while ETH's positioning looks more balanced between bulls and bears. SOL? The action here reveals something worth watching—significant short liquidations suggest shorts are getting squeezed.
The multi-week trend matters here. When you stack these three against each other, you get a clearer picture of where real money is actually positioned versus where hype lives. Long liquidations tend to spike when retail FOMO peaks. Short liquidations hit different—usually signals institutional players are confident enough to push back.
Week to week, these numbers shift faster than most realize. Watching the ratio between long and short wipeouts on your major alts can sometimes telegraph what's about to happen with BTC dominance.

This wave of short sellers in SOL is being squeezed hard, and institutions are quietly making their move.

ngl the sol squeeze play is actually making sense rn... those short liquidations don't lie, contrary to popular belief retail's getting shaken out while institutions quietly stack. fundamentally speaking, the long/short ratio delta here is statistically significant if u actually run the math instead of just reading headlines

SOL short squeeze has been triggered, this wave of institutions is really quite aggressive.
