BTC Adjustment Alert Around October 10, Large On-Chain Shorts Spotted
Communities remembering last year's massive liquidation around October 10 are on edge about potential volatility around the 10th this year. Liquidation maps show $880M in long positions, daily gains in dollar index, Treasury yields at 5.7% (highest since 2007), and sharp slowdown in spot ETF inflows converging. On-chain analysis suggests 4 new wallets deposited $1M each and opened BTC 40x shorts of 148 units (approx $12.5M), with BTC pushed below $84,500. Technical bearish divergence combined with institutional shorts has some already trimming risk assets.
