August 21: don't confuse a short squeeze with settled demand.
Bitcoin's move toward $75,000 is important, but the first question is what powered it. A squeeze can clear bad positioning; ETF flows and spot demand decide whether the move becomes healthier.
Editorial Note
The clean read: rally, then verify.
Today's Bitcoin note routes readers through three checks: liquidation mechanics, ETF allocation evidence, and operational risk from adjacent crypto infrastructure. That keeps the page useful without turning a price move into advice.
ETF flows are the confirmation check.
Allocation demand matters more than a single liquidation cascade.
