Bitcoin Squeeze Ends: Price Digestion Phase Ahead
Bitcoin's recent price surge has come to an end after a sharp 23% rally in one week, according to Pluang. The sudden increase was attributed to over $2 billion in short positions being liquidated, marking a record short squeeze.
Charles Schwab, however, warns that this rally was driven by mechanical forced liquidations rather than fundamental buying, and the leverage reset signals that the squeeze is over.
With the Federal Reserve maintaining a hawkish stance and futures open interest at a low, Schwab expects a price digestion phase ahead. This means that Bitcoin's price may continue to fluctuate as investors adjust to the new market conditions.
