Bitcoin's recent price surge, driven by direct purchases and short positions yet to be liquidated, could potentially lead to a short squeeze scenario.
This suggests that the current rise in Bitcoin’s price may not have been substantial enough to trigger the closure of short positions, or that short sellers are still holding onto their positions despite the potential losses incurred.
If Bitcoin’s price continues to climb, these lingering short positions may eventually get liquidated, resulting in a short squeeze scenario. A short squeeze occurs when the price of an asset sharply rises, forcing short sellers to cover their positions by buying back the asset. This buying pressure can amplify the price surge, triggering further short-covering and potentially significant price spikes.
