Zcash didn’t just break the $1,000 milestone — the move caught leveraged traders heavily off guard.
According to CoinDesk, approximately $36.6 million in leveraged ZEC positions were liquidated during the rally, with roughly $34.5 million coming from SHORT positions.
📊 THE NUMBERS
🔸 ZEC surged above $1,000
🔸 ~$36.6M total liquidations
🔸 ~$34.5M were SHORTS
🔸 Short sellers accounted for the overwhelming majority of liquidations
As ZEC accelerated higher, short positions were forced to close — potentially adding even more buying pressure to an already powerful rally.
This is what happens when a crowded short trade meets aggressive momentum.
The bears just learned an expensive lesson. 🐻🔥
