Bitcoin’s Brief Move Above $90,000 Triggers 142,580% One-Hour Liquidation Imbalance

Early Wednesday, Bitcoin briefly climbed from $89,200 to $90,170, a move of just 0.88%, yet it unleashed one of 2026's most extreme liquidation skews. The $90,000 level saw $6.63 million in shorts wiped out against only $4,640 in longs, generating an hourly imbalance of 142,580% and putting bears at renewed risk if the threshold fails to hold as resistance.
