Bitcoin ready to ‘vaporize’ shorts once price discovery above $110K begins

Key takeaways:
-
An end-of-month Bitcoin price close above $102,400 would set the
highest monthly close ever, proving the bull market continues at a
rapid pace.
-
Over $3 billion in Bitcoin short positions are vulnerable above
$107,000, creating a “liquidation magnet” that could send BTC price
to new highs.
Bitcoin (BTC) is 11 days from
potentially setting its highest monthly candle close in history.
After achieving a record weekly close of $106,407 on May 18, BTC
could secure a new monthly high by closing above $102,400 this
month.

With respect to its current market trend, Bitcoin is inches away
from a ‘price discovery’ period, as noted by crypto trader Jelle.
Price discovery in this context refers to the process where
buyers and sellers interact at an undefined or non-traded range to
determine the market price of an asset.
A break above Bitcoin's all-time high of $110,000 would initiate
a price discovery phase, driving BTC into an uncharted trading
range with successive higher highs until market participants
establish a new equilibrium between supply and demand.
Cointelegraph reported that Bitcoin is close to confirming a
“golden cross” on its daily chart, which has historically preceded
45% to 60% price rallies. Such a move coincides with the
probability of BTC hitting new highs this month.
A monthly close near $110,000 would mark a 15% to 17% gain for
Bitcoin in May, its strongest May performance since 2019. This
would significantly surpass the historical average monthly
return of 8% for the month.

Bitcoin researcher Axel Adler Jr. has
noted a key technical pattern in Bitcoin’s current bull cycle,
pointing to three recent instances of “compression”—a period of
tightening price ranges—measured by rolling maximum/minimum over
180 days.
The chart indicates that this compression often signals an
impending breakout, with historical precedent set by the 2017 rally
when Bitcoin surged to $20,000 from $1,000.

Using Bollinger Bands alongside the price range suggests that
volatility is building within the current cycle. The third
compression phase in 2025 mirrors the 2017 cycle, where the Bitcoin
halving events and supply shocks fueled retail FOMO, driving major
price rallies.
From the vantage point of Bitcoin liquidation, over $3 billion
in short leveraged positions are at risk of being liquidated if BTC
price moves to $110,000 from $105,000. In contrast, it would take a
drop to $94,612 to trigger a similar amount in long liquidations.
This skew suggests a higher probability of the price pushing upward
to chase liquidity on the sell-side rather than dropping lower.
Technical analyst Gert van Lagen noted a similar outlook,
stating,
“A liquidation magnet is glowing above $107K, ready to
vaporize billions in shorts. First, BTC soared on fear. Next, it'll
rise on liquidations.”
