Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Recall that the primary cryptocurrency had calmed on Saturday after a volatile week, in which it recorded a few $6,000 to $8,000 moves. By the start of the weekend, though, it had returned to its consolidation phase of around $111,000, but the first signs of a potential breakout started to show up.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, US Secretary Bessent <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-soars-above-113k-as-us-secretary-hints-at-china-trade-deal\/\">hinted<\/a> about a potential deal between his country and Beijing, which could be announced later this week after the presidents of the two superpowers meet in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>This had an immediate impact on BTC\u2019s price, which surged past $112,000 and $113,000. Its gains paused for several hours, but the bulls returned as Asia woke up earlier today. Bitcoin went on the run again, reclaiming $114,000 and $115,000 in the process.\u00a0Its peak, at least for now, is at $115,600, which is the highest it has traded since October 14.<\/p>\n<p>Most altcoins have joined the ride, including ETH, which has jumped by over 7% and now trades above $4,200. SOL has reclaimed the $200 line after a 5.5% daily surge, while ADA is close to $0.70 after a 4.7% increase. ZEC has rocketed by over 24%, followed by PI, IP, ENA, and HYPE.<\/p>\n<p>These impressive gains over the past day have had a profound effect on short futures traders, with more than $370 million in such positions wiped out each day. In total, nearly 110,000 traders have been wrecked since yesterday, according to data from CoinGlass.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1417691\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1417691\" style=\"width: 1362px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1417691 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003.png\" alt=\"Liquidation Data From CoinGlass\" width=\"1362\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003.png 1362w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-300x101.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-1024x345.png 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-768x259.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-90x30.png 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-150x51.png 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-1200x404.png 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-1000x337.png 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-900x303.png 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-800x270.png 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-700x236.png 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-600x202.png 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-500x169.png 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-400x135.png 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-200x67.png 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-27-080003-100x34.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1362px) 100vw, 1362px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1417691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Liquidation Data From CoinGlass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-smashes-115k-370-million-in-shorts-crushed-altcoins-finally-wake-up\/\">Bitcoin Smashes $115K: $370 Million in Shorts Crushed, Altcoins Finally Wake Up<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s rally that started on Sunday, following some promising news on the US-China trade deal front, has only intensified during the Monday morning Asian trading hours as the asset blasted to a two-week peak.
