The largest Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, led the demand with $285 million worth of inflows, of which IBIT attracted 56%, making it most popular among investors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IBIT has so far posted $1.2 billion in inflows this month, suggesting that it could have the best month of inflows since May.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, the bears may have less and less influence on the price as the bulls are accumulating. Meanwhile, the market is wondering whether the crypto cycle has entered a new bullish phase and the biggest short squeeze in history is underway, which is highly unlikely to be ruled out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bitcoin\u2019s resilience sparks bear trap bets<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A major flash crash occurred, liquidating a long position worth $500 million in BTC within six minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, BTC is resilient, and history has shown that a short squeeze during a leveraged accumulation period could be a positive sign for the asset. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the inflow of ETFs, if it persists, along with the liquidation of longs and massive buying, will create excellent conditions for growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is noteworthy that a similar situation occurred previously, triggered by the largest ever \u201clong\u201d liquidation in the crypto market. Fast forward to now, over $5 billion in shorts have been squeezed so far in August, marking the strongest liquidation cascade since October 10\u2019s $16.78 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This event ultimately precipitated the bear phase for Bitcoin. However, some analysts postulate that the current short liquidation on an unprecedented scale might propel BTC into a new bull run.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_627502\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-627502\" style=\"width: 445px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-23-125206.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-627502 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-23-125206.png\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"445\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-23-125206.png 445w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-23-125206-300x270.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-627502\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BitcoinArchive\/status\/2091259387432095784\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technical resilience<\/a>, strong ETF inflows, and heavy deleveraging, the bullish case looks convincing enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scenario is simple: Bitcoin\u2019s recovery from the \u201cflash crash\u201d is better than what the market had seen before in October, and &#8220;institutions&#8217; positioning&#8221; is also supportive of a bullish scenario. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this context, deleveraging appears to be a buying opportunity, not a distribution channel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This, in turn, suggests that the $5 billion short squeeze so far is only the beginning of the largest short squeeze in crypto history.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Final Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li data-section-id=\"1l4r7i9\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"116\"><em>Bitcoin is still up 21%+ this week despite the flash crash.\u00a0 Meanwhile, strong ETF inflows show buyers are still active.<\/em><\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"clgjlv\" data-start=\"118\" data-end=\"232\" data-is-last-node=\"\"><em>Traders have squeezed more than $5 billion in shorts in August, which could set BTC up for an even bigger move higher.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s resilience after the flash crash could set the stage for a historic short squeeze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":113,"featured_media":627500,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,66,4,20],"tags":[6427],"class_list":["post-627477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bitcoin-news","category-new-news","category-social","category-trading-view","tag-ambcrypto"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bitcoin survives a $500M flush - Is a historic short squeeze next?
