XRP Rises as $300M in Shorts Liquidated and Bitcoin Tops $84,000

  • Bitcoin broke above $84,000, accelerating the market's daily gains
  • About $300 million in short positions were liquidated
  • XRP rallied as part of the broader short squeeze
Why it matters: The short squeeze adds momentum, but also raises the risk of a sharp pullback if demand fades.
