 <p class="paragraph">Cryptocurrency traders often navigate price trends, launching into short positions during bearish phases and long positions amid bull rallies. This behavior sets the stage for profitable long or short <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="squeeze" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/squeeze.html">squeeze</a>s, masterminded by whales and market makers.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">When initiating short positions, traders essentially bet on the cryptocurrency‘s value dropping through a collateral deposit and a liquidation price above the current exchange rate.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, if the asset’s price surges, reaching this liquidation point, it can forcibly close the traders’ positions. This event, known as a short <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="squeeze" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/squeeze.html">squeeze</a>, involves a cascade of closures, pushing the price higher and clearing the liquidity pools.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">SUI’s liquidation heatmap has even more short-squeeze potential than Solana’s in comparison to historic liquidations in the weekly time frame. On that, there are relevant liquidity pools close to the current price of $1.66 per token.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Furthermore, reaching these pools could fuel a pump, seeking more liquidations above the $1.95 zone.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Nevertheless, short sellers can avoid liquidation by either adding more collateral to the already opened contracts or closing their positions. Thus, liquidity pools can quickly change over time as the market adjusts to recent developments.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In closing, Solana and Sui Network could suffer a short squeeze this week due to increased short positions and liquidations upwards. But cryptocurrencies are volatile and unpredictable, changing every minute. Investors must remain cautious and properly manage risk while speculating on this market.</p>
