Analyst: Bitcoin Nearing All-Time High But Traders Still Showing Bearish Sentiment, Surge in Short Positions Could Trigger Potential "Short Squeeze"
BlockBeats News, July 3rd, Coindesk analyst Oliver Knight stated that despite Bitcoin's trading price surpassing $110,000 and approaching its all-time high, traders are still showing bearish sentiment, with the long/short ratio significantly declining from 1.223 (favoring longs) to 0.858 (favoring shorts).
The data shows that open short positions have increased from $32 billion to $35 billion, indicating an inflow of funds into bearish positions, reflecting a lack of confidence in Bitcoin's continued upward trend. Currently, Bitcoin is still oscillating between $100,000 and $110,000. Technical indicators such as RSI show bearish divergence, while traders in this range are using short-term strategies for arbitrage.
With the increase in short positions, there is also a potential bullish scenario in the market: a short squeeze. If Bitcoin breaks above its all-time high, triggering forced liquidation points and stop-loss orders for shorts, it could rapidly increase buying pressure, further driving the price up.
