As reported by U.Today, Bitcoin ended its 12-day streak of range-bound trading on Oct. 8 when payments giant Square announced the acquisition of $50 mln worth of BTC.
The overleveraged bears who expected the Square pump to dissipate the following day took quite a beating this morning, with $50.56 mln worth of shorts being liquidated over the past hour, according to data provided by Bybt.
