Bitcoin surged above $82,000 on September 3 after $250 million in short positions were liquidated, triggering a $758 million total crypto market liquidation dominated by shorts. This short squeeze fueled a 21% rally in Zcash and notable moves in Ethereum, Solana, and XRP. Despite the spike, Bitcoin settled near $80,500 before dipping to $79,200, now testing resistance around $81,500, a key level to sustain momentum. The rally was driven mainly by derivatives short squeezes rather than fresh ETF inflows, with open interest remaining high at $54 billion, indicating continued leverage in the market.
