Bitcoin surged from below $60,000 to nearly $63,800 over the weekend, causing a $504 million loss for traders betting against it—the biggest daily short squeeze since April. Total crypto liquidations hit $655 million, affecting over 104,000 traders, with bitcoin and ether positions leading forced closures. The rebound followed a sharp 14% drop last week, influenced by Strategy's bitcoin sale, AI stock declines, and ETF outflows. However, renewed Iran-Israel conflict pulled bitcoin back to around $62,900 on Monday, with volatility expected to continue ahead of key U.S. inflation data and major IPOs like SpaceX.
