· 2026-08-20T10:23:42.151000+00:00Same volume as the June crash, opposite result. That's the actual story today. Everyone's hyping the Bitcoin's $2.7B short liquidation on Wednesday but the same $44B volume spike happened June 2-6 too, and back then every single one of those days was red, BTC dropped from 73.5k to 60.8k on that same volume. So the volume number by itself doesn't tell you anything, what matters is buyers actually absorbed the selling this time instead of folding like they did in June. ETH also gained 19.1% against BTC's 11.4% while DOT and LTC barely moved, so this wasn't even a uniform squeeze, some coins had real demand behind them and others just got dragged along. If it cools to $15-18B and price holds above 68k, real buyers are behind this move. If volume craters and price slides back to 64k, it was all mechanical short covering and nobody real showed up. And BTC is still 43% off its all time high with 95.6% of supply already mined, so nothing structural changed today, the shorts just got caught.
