BTC Short Squeeze

40
Bitcoin is currently trading green for the week, where it currently sits at US$96,700.

The Bollinger bands are continuing to compress, indicating that the price range of which Bitcoin is trading is narrowing.

Should we get a kick in volatility in the coming days, below are some potential outcomes.


Sentiment in crypto markets have taken a hit in recent weeks, with the fear and greed index currently indicating market sentiment as fearful.

Global exchange data from Coinglass suggests that if Bitcoin surges to US$100,000, up to $5 billion in short leveraged positions could be liquidated, triggering a potential short squeeze as traders rush to cover their positions.


Bitcoin volatility has also dropped to its lowest point since August 2024.

Bullish Scenario
Price may head towards $102k which is the February monthly open; this could be fuelled by a short squeeze – based on what we know from the exchange data referenced earlier.

Bearish Scenario
Price failing to remain above the yearly open of circa $93k could result in a move back towards the January low of $89k.
