AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
When the price of Bitcoin rapidly rose above 84000 USD, traders who had previously bet on a price decline (short sellers) were forcibly closed out by exchanges because their losses were too large. This volatility resulted in more than 10000000 USD in short positions being liquidated on Binance and Bitget, respectively.
