BTC hovering around $60k: Short squeeze potential?Hey everyone!
If you're enjoying this analysis, a thumbs up and follow would be greatly appreciated!
Welcome to this BTC quick analysis.
Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at around $60k, and we might see a potential short squeeze in the charts.
Here's what to consider:
Support level: There is some support around $62k, which could hold if additional selling pressure eases.
Market sentiment: You're right, recent price drops might make some retail traders hesitant to re-enter.
Exchange & MM activity: Exchanges and Market Makers (MMs) may benefit from increased trading activity. However, their specific actions are difficult to predict.
Important to remember:
Short squeezes are not guaranteed: While some factors suggest a potential squeeze, it's not a certainty.
Shorting with the crowd can be risky: Many traders might be hoping for a bounce at $60k, so shorting now could be a crowded trade.
IMO, soon this dump will be over and we will see a good upside move this week. Let's see how the price reacts from here.

BIG MOVE! SHORTS TRAPPED! What's next?Based on the chart analysis, the rising wedge pattern signals a likely bearish correction in the short term, with the price potentially testing the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level around $518.36 as a key support. However, the Elliott Wave projection suggests a bullish reversal toward point (C) if support holds, indicating a medium-term upward move. Traders should watch for confirmation of support at the 0.618 level and look for signs of reversal to enter long positions, targeting the previous high around $532.99 and beyond. We must stay above $524.71 to escape this wedge channel and maintain the potential for an upward breakout. Maintain vigilance for a break below the 0.618 retracement, which could signal further downside risk.

AMC PullbackAMC coiling here near a key moving average after pullback from its initial move. Our premium indicator has giving 2 blue continuation signals + GME looks to be in a similar position.
Besides the risk of how volatile this name is, this play also has significant overnight risk. A realistic stop on the position is around 15-25% meaning the sizing has to be very low.
December 2022 = major short squeeze???Boring times in the crypto market so great opportunity to analyze deeper than usual. What I have found is that when BTCLONG crossed above RSI 50 level (monthly close March 2021), a long squeeze followed and it is still going on since April 2021. With monthly closure of November 2022 BTCSHORT will close above RSI 50 so I wonder whether there would follow a major short squeeze like, long squeeze in April 2021. I draw a Fib retracement and maximum pain for both sides show us a price level of around $ 31000. Maybe a Santa rally till this level is coming? What do you think?
Short squeezes are happening!Discussing some potential short squeeze candidates.
Some of these names have already bolstered huge gains and looking to potentially squeeze higher if price action holds firm.
All of these names need to be monitored in the near term for opportunities.
Shorts get nervous when stocks are moving higher.

The Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Pump and Dump Part IIRecently we watched in the news the resurrection of the "Meme Stocks" frenzy and the "Roaring Kitty" username. Those who witnessed the first surge in stocks like NYSE:AMC , NYSE:GME , NYSE:BB , etc., remember those were basically a "Make me Rich quick" kind of event, they were known as "Meme Stocks" because it all started as memes by a group of traders in internet forums who allegedly went against the Wall St. Hedge Funds who were heavily invested in shorting these stocks, by buying all at the same time and triggering a strong short squeeze.
Well, this event was the hope for this group of traders who saw the opportunity to pocket huge profits in a short time frame, and it gave them the sense of power against Wall St. That time these stocks were heavily shortened, and they were prone to an aggressive short squeeze, not only from these member of the meme stock traders, but by professional traders.
At the end of the day this group of stocks spiked, the people took profits, they left the market, some richer, some poorer, and others as bag holders. All these stocks faded along the time and some even went bankrupt. This event was imprinted in the memory of those hoping that this could happen again, but most amateur traders don't take the time to actually learn to trade, they ran with the rumor again after a fuzzy post by the "Roaring Kitty" and they just grabbed whatever was being mentioned in the forums. This time however it was very different. Their behavior was predictable and the professional traders already had a plan in advance, to short the spike. The small buying power of the meme stock traders plus their inexperience in swimming with professional sharks just turned them into an easy morning lunch. The rumor, action and shorting cycle was very fast. In the chart we can see outstanding profits in the order of hundreds of percentual points. But if we take a look at the short sale volume, we notice that the spike was immediately extinguished.
The #VolumeCandles feature of Trading View is an excellent tool to visually pinpoint the development of this pump and dump event. In the chart I added some more stocks which were rumored in the forums, NYSE:GME , NYSE:AMC , NASDAQ:KOSS , NYSE:OKLO , NASDAQ:FFIE , NASDAQ:GWAV , $CRKN. The symbols used to display the short volume were:
FINRA:GME_SHORT_VOLUME
FINRA:AMC_SHORT_VOLUME
FINRA:KOSS_SHORT_VOLUME
FINRA:OKLO_SHORT_VOLUME
FINRA:FFIE_SHORT_VOLUME
FINRA:GWAV_SHORT_VOLUME
FINRA:CRKN_SHORT_VOLUME
All of them have the same pattern,
Rumor in the meme stock forums
Frenzy buying
Immediate huge short volume
The takeaway of this presentation is, never fall for what others "rumor" in forums, trade following your own system, your money and your profit/loses are just yours, so the responsibility to plan your trade.
Buying and selling shares in the stock market is very easy, trading is not, and they're definitely not the same. #LearnToEarn.
FFIE Short Squeeze Levels and Zones ChartedBeen watching and trading this thing since $0.09. Couldn't believe the structure and strength of the buying. 1 billion volume past 3 days. 97% shares Sold Short. now there's articles and vids popping up and our beloved apes from AMC GME looking for more nose candy.
Something I've noticed is that the past 3 days have rallied @ or near 12pm(Noon) EST as noted on the Chart. is it when the shorts go to lunch? < jokes but maybe.
But I think this thing is really in perfect storm territory
Im going to be looking for this noon bounce thats happend past 3 days.
looks like there's going to be some pressure from 3.11-5.48 with 13.96 in range of this run.
We want to see the same signals. Nice Vwap support, Selling met with stubborn buying at support levels, Local Top aggressive selling met with aggressive buying during with those nice long wicks to Vwap support. The 3 min chart has been great visually to see this stock work through price levels
#Bitcoin [ Inverted Head And Shoulders - Short Squeeze Combo ] BTCUSD has printed an allbeit slanted yet very nice inverted head and shoulders that has retested and played out perfectly so far. The measured move coincides with multiple high time frame short liquidation levels (Not marked on this chart) with the biggest level being a 6 MONTH high volume liquidation level at $74,045. This strong of a #shortsqueeze could easily amplify the measured move, which I have extended, using the 150%-161.8% fib levels. The extension also lines right up with where all short liquidation levels end on the Coinglass heat map.
AMC and GME Gamma Squeeze vs Short Squeeze durationYou are surely wondering how long this rally on GME and AMC could go!
Let's look at the 2021 short / gamma squeezes to find out!
GME rallied from Jan 13 to Jan 28 for 15 days and went up 24X at its peak! That was a gamma squeeze!
AMC, on the other hand, rallied from May 13 to June 2 for 20 days, during which it went up 6X at its peak. That was more of a short squeeze!
A gamma squeeze and a short squeeze are both market phenomena, but they operate in different ways and involve different types of trading strategies.
Short Squeeze:
In a short squeeze, traders who have sold a stock short (i.e., they've borrowed shares and sold them with the intention of buying them back later at a lower price) are forced to buy the stock back at higher prices to cover their positions. This buying pressure drives the stock price even higher, causing more short sellers to cover their positions, thus further increasing the price. It creates a feedback loop where rising prices force short sellers to buy, further increasing demand, and thus prices.
Short squeezes often occur when there's significant negative sentiment or speculation about a stock, and a sudden positive development causes the price to rise sharply, catching short sellers off guard.
Gamma Squeeze:
A gamma squeeze, on the other hand, involves options trading. It occurs when option sellers (who are often large institutional investors or market makers) have sold call options (contracts that give the holder the right to buy a stock at a certain price) and need to hedge their positions by buying the underlying stock. As the stock price rises, they need to buy more stock to maintain their hedge, which further fuels the price increase.
Gamma squeezes are typically triggered by a sharp rise in the underlying stock price, causing the delta (the rate of change of the option price with respect to the price of the underlying asset) of the call options to increase rapidly. This forces option sellers to buy more stock to adjust their hedges, leading to a feedback loop similar to a short squeeze but driven by options trading.
We could be entering a cycle here, let's see!
[WSB] How to trade the GameStop Short Squeeze!r/wallstreetbets recently picked up the GameStop Stock (GME). Why? Because we basically have free money sitting here.
GameStop struggled with keeping up with the growing digital gaming market and the price plummeted.
With a strong focus on E-commerce, a strong brand with over 55 million PowerUp members and a solid team (Source: r/wallstreetbets "GME FULL STORY),
we will most likely see further growth in the company in terms of revenue and stock price.
I made this chart to verify important levels and an in depth trading-plan to reduce the risk as much as possible.
Everything relevant is on the chart. The Cup & Handle Pattern is one of the easiest patterns to trade and extremly powerfull to extend
a strong uptrend - which is highlighted by the Ascending Parallel Channel.
Please make sure to place a Stop-Loss order and place your buy after the confirmation with a Breakout-Candle.
Let me know if there are any questions and feel free to discuss in the comment section.

4hr Cup & Handle breakoutWhat an absolute monster Cup & Handle on the 4hr. GME has been on quite the run lately. If this continues we could see another $3 to $7 gap up over the next week or so according to the Fib Ext. And being DFV is now active again, this may be the catalyst needed to spark the fuse on this weekly Bull Flag that has begun to finally breakout.
Apes Watch a Slow Motion Train Crash for Years to ComeI already am eating from the trash can all the time.
The name of this trash can is ideology.
The material force of ideology makes me not see what I am effectively eating.
This one is not going to be good for your mental health.
AMC just purchased a Gold Mining Company? truth really is stranger than fiction
Look at my LAZR Analysis before you let MMs Shake You Out!Get ready for an exciting week ahead with LAZR Luminar Technologies! We're seeing the upside earnings surprise being priced in, coupled with a massive falling wedge that's about to break out above $1.70 and then soar to $2.00-$2.20 on the second wedge.
LAZR Analysis:
Earnings may be the catalyst for this breakout, but that's not all. I've also identified a weekly diamond pattern, indicating a perfect storm for a rise. Watch out for any gap downs below $1.68 (we saw $1.51-$1.52 after hours) - these are just shakeouts orchestrated by market makers. Stay strong and don't let them fool you!
Short Ratio as of May 5th, 2024, is at 22 days to cover or more, with short interest vs float/outstanding at 25% or more. Dark pool off-exchange trading is over 50%. We're on the brink of something big, and I'm more convicted on this trade than anything else I hold!
Bolstering LAZR Bull Sentiment:
Remember, we're also keeping an eye on the VIX, which further supports our bullish stance on LAZR. As the VIX falls, the stage is set for heightened bullishness in stocks like LAZR. The VIX's decline indicates decreasing volatility and rising confidence in the market, both of which are favorable for LAZR's upward trajectory.
