TREE NEWS reports: Bitcoin rose 24.6% over five days in August even as active leverage declined, with short positions accounting for 89% of every liquidated dollar. The findings indicate the rally was driven almost entirely by short liquidations rather than fresh leveraged demand.

AI take
The composition of the move matters more than its size: a rally carried by short liquidations is a positioning unwind, not new capital committing at higher prices, which leaves the durability of the advance dependent on whether genuine demand shows up afterward. It also cuts against the instinct to read every sharp gain as renewed risk appetite. Whether active leverage rebuilds on the long side, rather than shorts simply being cleared out, is the open question for judging what the move actually represents.
