Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC Eyes $90K After a $216M Short Squeeze as AlphaPepe Approaches Its Fifth Exchange Reveal

Bitcoin's $90K push has traders chasing a short squeeze while AlphaPepe's fifth exchange reveal is ahead.

Bitcoin is back within striking distance of $90,000 after a sharp move forced roughly $216 million in short positions

out of the market. That kind of squeeze can make BTC look unstoppable, but retail buyers know the painful part. By the time the breakout feels obvious, the fast money has often already moved.

AlphaPepe

gives buyers a different catalyst. ALPE is still in Stage 21 at $0.03205 before its first public exchange chart, while four CEX partnerships are already announced. The team has confirmed that partnership number five will be revealed within the next 10 days, giving presale buyers an event that is still ahead rather than already printed on a chart.

Bitcoin's Short Squeeze Puts $90K Back in Play

A short squeeze happens when traders betting on lower prices are forced to close as Bitcoin rises. That forced buying can push BTC even higher, which is why these moves can become violent quickly.
