Short squeeze in play for Bitcoin
Why would Bitcoin pump when everyone is convinced it is going to fall further? The answer is simple: when people expect Bitcoin to fall further, they place Short orders that can be liquidated if Bitcoin price rises to a certain level. When Short order hits a stop-loss or and gets liquidated, it is done so by placing a market Buy order, which lifts the price up. Usually traders place their stop orders slightly above the previous high, which provides them with confidence.
However, smart whales are aware of these stops and they know that when they move the price to a certain point, it will trigger stop-losses and will add more buying pressure. This is what we saw in play back on October 2019, and it can also be seen on lower time-frame today. Today’s surge is not due to the fact that Bitcoin has a good Long set-up, rather it had such an obvious Short set-up that it was seductive to liquidate all small traders and profit from the buying pressure which resulted from liquidation.
Be careful with Bitcoin , this is a huge game of speculation, and price is the most important variable here.
