SuperEx Educational Series: Understanding Why Can Large-Scale Short Covering Push Prices Higher, While Mass Long Position Closures Accelerate a Decline?（II） #SuperEx #EducationalSeries The Interlude Is Over, and We Are Returning to Part II As originally planned, we are finally returning to Part II of this series. Part I established the basic mechanism: closing a position does not make it quietly disappear. Shorts must buy to exit, while longs must sell, meaning position closures create real orders and price pressure. Yesterday, we inserted an additional article examining what rising prices with falling open interest may indicate. Although this combination is often associated with short covering, it should not automatically be labeled a squeeze. Both sides reducing exposure, arbitrage unwinding, and cross-venue migration can produce similar data. With that foundation in place, we can now address the second layer: Why can ordinary short covering develop into a rapid short squeeze? In the opposite direction, how can routine long closures become a cascading sell-off? The key is not simply that many traders close positions at once. Acceleration occurs when price, stops, margin, liquidity, and hedging begin forming a feedback loop. Price forces positions to exit, and those exits push the price further. The market may begin with a small sneeze, while leveraged positions collectively behave as if the ceiling has collapsed. The Difference Between Ordinary Covering and a Short Squeeze Is a Feedback Loop Short covering is a normal method of exiting a position. A trader sells contracts to establish a short and later buys an offsetting amount to close it. If market depth is sufficient, the covering can occur smoothly without causing major volatility. A short squeeze is different. The CFTC describes a squeeze as a market situation in which limited supply forces shorts to cover at higher prices. The key is not merely that covering exists, but that covering demand exceeds the sell-side liquidity available near the current price. CFTC Futures Glossary Suppose a token trades at $100 and only a small number of shorts decide to cover. The ask side contains enough liquidity, allowing the orders to execute between $100 and $101. That is ordinary covering. If many shorts need to buy while few sell orders exist between $100 and $105, covering orders must search for sellers at progressively higher prices. The rising price increases losses for remaining shorts and forces more of them to exit. Covering is no longer only a result of the rally. It becomes a cause of the next stage. The full feedback chain is: Price rises; Some shorts cover; Covering orders consume ask-side liquidity; Price rises further; More shorts face stops or margin pressure; Additional covering orders enter the market. Once this chain becomes self-reinforcing, an ordinary rally can become a short squeeze. The Initial Trigger Is Often Less Dramatic Than Expected After a squeeze begins, people often search for one enormous piece of positive news to explain the entire rally. In reality, the initial trigger may be relatively small. It only needs to push the price into an area where short positioning becomes fragile. Possible triggers include: Data that is slightly better than expected; A large spot purchase; Improved market-wide risk appetite; A rally beginning on another venue; Market makers withdrawing some sell orders; A key resistance level breaking. Suppose a large amount of short exposure has accumulated near $50, with many stops placed above $52. The move from $50 to $51 may remain orderly. Once the price reaches $52, however, short stop orders and breakout buys may activate together. The first buy order does not need to create the entire rally. It only needs to open the first door. The waiting orders can enter afterward. This is why moderately positive news can sometimes produce a 20% rally. New information lights the match. Positioning determines how large the fire becomes. How Do Stop Orders Turn Price Movement into New Orders? Short sellers commonly place stop orders above the current market. When the trigger level is reached, the stop can become a buy order used to close the short. Price increases therefore do more than change profits and losses. They can automatically create additional buying demand. If many shorts use similar technical levels, their stops may cluster around the same prices. Suppose the first group of stops sits at $52, another at $53, and a significant liquidation zone exists near $55. A break above $52 triggers the first covering orders, pushing price toward $53. Those stops then activate and move price toward $55. The market has not necessarily received three separate pieces of positive news. One price movement has simply awakened several groups of orders in sequence. The chart looks as though someone keeps pressing the accelerator, but many orders were written earlier and were only waiting to be triggered. SuperEx similarly notes that a stop price is only a trigger and does not guarantee the final execution price. If the market moves rapidly and liquidity is limited, the actual fill may differ substantially from the trigger. A short may therefore intend to exit at $52 but receive fills at $53 or higher. Worse execution further increases the price impact of covering. Why Do Voluntary Closures and Forced Liquidations Have Different Effects? Voluntary closure means the trader chooses to exit. The trader can wait, split the order, use limits, or close only part of the position. Forced liquidation is different. When account margin can no longer support the exposure, the system must reduce or close the position quickly. Its primary objective is risk control, not obtaining the most comfortable execution price. The CFTC describes forced liquidation as the offsetting of open positions when an account becomes under-margined. CFTC Futures Glossary A short liquidation requires buying contracts. A long liquidation requires selling contracts. If market depth is insufficient, liquidation orders cross several price levels and accelerate the move. The higher the leverage, the closer a position generally is to liquidation. A relatively small initial movement can therefore push many highly leveraged accounts into danger. Liquidation orders then push prices further, bringing another group of accounts into liquidation territory. This is the basic structure of a liquidation cascade. Why Can Liquidity Disappear When It Is Needed Most? Whether a short squeeze or long squeeze accelerates depends heavily on market depth. The same covering order may move a deep market by 1%, while moving a thin market by 10%. Market depth can be understood as the amount of available interest across different price levels. SuperEx likewise identifies order-book depth, bid-ask spreads, and quoted size as important elements of liquidity. The problem is that resting orders are not permanent promises. When volatility increases suddenly, market makers and other liquidity providers may reduce quote size, widen spreads, or withdraw orders to avoid excessive inventory risk. The market then enters an uncomfortable situation: More shorts need to buy, while fewer sellers remain near the current price. Buying urgency rises while sell-side supply falls, forcing the market to search for sellers at higher prices. In the opposite direction, mass long exits increase selling while bids disappear, forcing the market to search for buyers at lower prices. The strength of a squeeze depends not only on the size of positioning, but also on the width of the exit. A room containing one hundred people is not necessarily dangerous. The problem begins when only half a door remains and everyone decides to leave at once. Why Do Market Makers and Arbitrageurs Spread the Move Across Markets? Short covering may begin in one perpetual market, but price movement does not necessarily remain isolated. Market makers and arbitrageurs can transmit the move to spot markets and other venues. Market Makers Adjust Hedges If a market maker repeatedly sells contracts to shorts who are covering, it may accumulate additional short exposure. To reduce risk, the market maker may buy spot assets or establish offsetting positions in another derivatives market. These spot purchases can lift spot prices. Higher spot prices then affect index levels and quotes on other venues, spreading what began as a local derivatives move. Arbitrageurs Reduce Price Differences If perpetual futures on Exchange A rise to $105 while spot elsewhere remains at $102, arbitrageurs may sell the expensive futures and buy the cheaper spot asset. This transfers buying into spot markets and limits price divergence across venues. In the opposite direction, mass long closures can depress derivatives prices, causing arbitrageurs and market makers to transmit selling pressure through spot or other positions. A squeeze is therefore not necessarily confined to one exchange. As long as capital, asset-transfer, and hedging channels remain functional, price pressure can spread through connected markets. The Opposite Direction: How Can Long Closures Become a Long Squeeze? A long squeeze is almost the mirror image of a short squeeze. Shorts buy to exit, while longs sell. One creates an upward buying loop; the other creates a downward selling loop. Suppose a token rises from $50 to $70, and many traders open leveraged longs during the rally. Numerous long stops cluster near $65, while liquidation risk is concentrated between $62 and $60. A spot sale pushes the price from $68 to $65. The first group of long stops activates, closing positions through sell orders. Those orders consume bids and push price toward $62. Highly leveraged longs near $62 enter liquidation territory, producing additional selling. Market makers reduce bids, spreads widen, and price moves below $60. What began as one ordinary sale ultimately triggers several layers of position exits. The full chain is: Price falls; Longs close voluntarily; Selling consumes bid-side depth; Price declines further; Stops and liquidations trigger; Additional selling enters the market. A long squeeze does not necessarily begin with major negative news. It may require only an initial decline large enough to break the positioning balance. Why Do Squeezes Often Overshoot? Ordinary price discovery revolves around value and supply-demand conditions. During a squeeze, traders may temporarily stop caring whether the current price is reasonable. Their first priority is exiting risk. A short may believe $105 is already too expensive, but if liquidation sits at $108, the trader may still cover at $106. A long may believe the asset is worth $50 in the long term, but insufficient margin may force an exit at $40. These trades are based less on valuation and more on survival. When many orders seek immediate exit, prices may temporarily move outside ordinary valuation ranges. This is also why squeeze-driven moves often reverse sharply. Once forced buying or selling ends, ordinary supply and demand regain control and price may return toward a more sustainable range. A rapid reversal is not guaranteed. If genuine spot demand, fundamental change, or persistent capital inflow emerges during the squeeze, the market may stabilize at a new level. Complete Case: How Can One Ordinary Purchase Become a Short Squeeze? Suppose the A token trades near $30 for three weeks. The market widely expects disappointing project data, and many traders build short positions. Open interest rises from $60 million to $140 million while funding remains negative. Short stops cluster near $32 and $34, while highly leveraged liquidation zones sit between $35 and $37. The order book shows relatively limited sell-side depth above $32. Stage One: Spot Buying Triggers the Breakout The project publishes results that are not exceptional but clearly better than the market’s pessimistic expectations. Spot buying moves the price from $30 to $32. At this stage, the rally is driven mainly by new information and spot demand. A full squeeze has not yet formed. Stage Two: Short Stops Begin Activating Short stops above $32 become covering buys, pushing price quickly toward $34. Open interest falls from $140 million to $120 million, while negative funding begins moving toward neutral. Position exits are now amplifying the original rally. Stage Three: Liquidations and Contracting Liquidity Once price breaks above $34, margin pressure rises sharply for highly leveraged shorts. Some sellers withdraw orders and market makers widen spreads. Short-liquidation buys execute at progressively higher prices, pushing price to $38 within ten minutes. Open interest falls to $85 million and funding returns near neutral. The move has now evolved from an ordinary rally into a clear short squeeze. Stage Four: Determine Whether the Rally Can Continue If spot volume remains strong after liquidations end and price stabilizes between $36 and $38, the market may be accepting a new valuation. If spot demand disappears and price falls back toward $33, much of the rally was driven by temporary covering demand. A short squeeze can explain why price rose rapidly, but it cannot prove that the elevated price should persist indefinitely. How Can Ordinary Users Recognize an Emerging Squeeze? First, Check Whether Positioning Was Crowded Before the Breakout Examine whether open interest had been rising, funding remained biased toward one side, and substantial exposure accumulated within a narrow range. Second, Identify the Initial Trigger Did the move begin with spot demand, new information, one large order, or a breakout in one derivatives venue? Different triggers provide different levels of initial confirmation. Third, Examine Price and Open Interest Rising price with rapidly falling open interest is consistent with short covering or liquidation. Falling price with rapidly declining open interest is more consistent with long deleveraging. These combinations still require confirmation from other data. Fourth, Check Funding and Liquidation Data Has funding normalized rapidly? Are liquidations concentrated? Does price continue accelerating after they begin? Fifth, Examine Market Depth and Spreads If depth declines, spreads widen, and execution quality deteriorates, exit demand may be overwhelming available liquidity. Sixth, Confirm Whether Spot Demand Takes Over After liquidations subside, does spot activity remain? Do several venues stay aligned? Can price hold once open interest stabilizes? This determines whether the move is only a squeeze or may transition into a more persistent trend. Taking SuperEx as an Example: How Can Users Observe the Risk Chain During a Squeeze? Taking SuperEx as an example, users can combine spot prices, contract prices, market depth, and funding rates to examine market structure. If derivatives rise first while spot and multi-market indices lag, local repositioning may be leading the move. If spot and index prices follow, evidence of broader repricing becomes stronger. SuperEx perpetual futures use funding rates to help anchor contract prices to spot markets. Funding calculations consider the basis between internal contract prices and external spot prices. SuperEx Perpetual Funding Fee Rules Users should also understand margin ratios and liquidation conditions before using leverage. According to SuperEx’s liquidation documentation, the system takes over and closes risk positions when the relevant margin condition is reached. Users can estimate liquidation prices through the contract calculator, although actual risk in multi-position accounts may depend on the overall account state. SuperEx Forced Liquidation Explanation SuperEx also constructs its index price using data from more than five major exchanges while handling invalid inputs and abnormal deviations. This helps users compare local derivatives volatility with broader market pricing and avoid interpreting a short-term squeeze on one venue as a market-wide trend. SuperEx Index Calculation Rules These data and mechanisms cannot make squeezes perfectly predictable, but they help reveal where risk is accumulating and how it is being released. The important task is not predicting the first breakout candle. It is avoiding the discovery that the exit is narrow only after every position begins rushing toward it. Conclusion: A Squeeze Is Not One Large Order, but a Self-Reinforcing Chain Large-scale short covering can push prices higher because shorts must buy to exit. Ordinary covering is more likely to become a genuine squeeze when it interacts with stops, liquidations, contracting liquidity, and cross-market hedging. The full structure of a short squeeze is: Initial buying lifts the price; Shorts begin covering voluntarily; Stops create additional buys; Highly leveraged shorts are liquidated; Sell-side depth declines; Buy orders search for liquidity at higher prices; Market making and arbitrage transmit the move elsewhere. A long squeeze is the mirror image: Prices fall and longs sell to close; Stops and liquidations create additional selling; Bid-side depth contracts; Prices search for buyers at lower levels. A sudden spike or plunge does not always mean the underlying news was enormous. Sometimes the news creates only the first movement. The crowded positioning already stored in the market completes the rest. The next article will move into the third and most practical part of this series: How to combine price, open interest, funding, spot activity, liquidation data, and market depth to distinguish short covering, genuine demand, ordinary long exits, and fundamental repricing.

AI-assisted reply from the Mentrix Digital company account. I haven't tested FireVM, so I can't assess that provider personally. Before ordering, ask for the exact CPU model and whether the stated cores are dedicated, confirm 24 GB RAM and whether the 20 TB allowance counts both directions or throttles after the limit. For Windows 11, ask the provider to confirm licensing, remote console access and whether reinstalling that OS is included. Clarify what 'one snapshot' covers, retention and restore time; a snapshot on the same server is not a substitute for a separate backup. Finally, ask what managed support actually covers, whether PayPal is available for this plan, and the full recurring price including setup and OS charges. Is the test workload temporary or does it need to run continuously?

I like btc ln because of cheap network and transactions.

Good point on putting the count next to the rate. With five conversions, one reversal is mostly noise, so for small tests it may be worth agreeing a minimum count before the reversal rate is even discussed. Splitting cancellations from tracking or eligibility errors also makes it clear who acts on what: cancellations usually point to traffic quality on the affiliate side, while tracking errors sit in the advertiser's setup. Then each side fixes its own part before the next test starts.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share it. We'd like to clarify our position on each point. 1. Vulnerability classification We acknowledge that the PoCs you provided demonstrated real issues — which is precisely why we fixed them. However, our classification was based not on the existence of the problem itself, but on its practical exploitability in the context of our product. Specifically, the "forgot password" scenario requires the attacker to know the victim's email address. This reduces the practical value of the vulnerability from our perspective — not because we don't understand OSINT, but because it doesn't create a mass attack vector for our service. We understand that in bug bounty this approach may raise questions, and we accept that. 2. Why we fixed it if we didn't classify it as a vulnerability The fix was preventive. Even if we didn't classify the issue as critical, the mere fact of its existence is sufficient reason to eliminate it. This is not a contradiction: we can disagree with the severity assessment while still removing the risk. Rolling back fixes just to prove a point would be irresponsible toward our users. 3. Reward The reward amount ($50) reflects our internal assessment of the combined criticality of the three issues, taking into account their practical exploitability in our environment. We understand this may seem low, and we accept the criticism. Separately, we'd like to note: we are a young service that is still growing. Unfortunately, we cannot afford to pay huge bounties for discovered vulnerabilities the way large corporations with multi-million-dollar security budgets do. Our payments are a sincere thank-you for helping improve the service, not a commercial valuation of your work. We value every contribution, but our financial capabilities are limited. 4. What we've taken from this Your feedback showed that our assessment criteria and communication with researchers need improvement. We are revising our approach to classification and will be clearer about why a given issue receives a particular rating. Thank you for your contribution — the fixes have genuinely improved the security of our service. Best regards, The SOCNET Team

Rising US inflation weighs on gold: XAUUSD falls below 4,000 Gold prices continue to fall sharply amid a stronger US dollar, rising US government bond yields, and growing expectations of further Federal Reserve monetary policy tightening. Technical outlook Within its sideways channel, XAUUSD has once again moved towards the lower boundary. On the D1 chart, a resistance level has formed at 4,145. Support at 3,895 has been broken, and a new support level has yet to form. The fundamental backdrop for gold remains largely unfavourable. Read more - Gold Forecast Attention!
