Short Squeeze Instead of a True Reversal
Bitcoin quickly broke through the $79,500 area after a mass closing of short positions. In one day, the volume of short liquidations approached $3 billion, and this factor became the main fuel for the upward movement.
The chain looked like this:
- Mass closing of short positions increased demand for bitcoin.
- The volume of short liquidations approached $3 billion in one day.
- The price shot up sharply and quickly reached the $79,500 area.
At first glance, such a jump looks like the start of a full recovery. But analysts are in no hurry to talk about a trend reversal. Most indicators have indeed entered extreme decline zones, but this is not enough to consider capitulation complete.
