Bitcoin Price Surges On Massive Short By Dylan Leclair The bitcoin price surged to $40,000 on Sunday, but what was the reason for the move and why was it so explosive? "Derivative and futures traders are bearish. Bitcoin stackers and hodlers are bullish. An explosive dichotomy in the market is beginning to emerge."- Dylan Dylan, Bitcoin Magazine's expert in macroeconomics, explains the reason why the recent bitcoin move was so abrupt — a short squeeze — in this excerpt from the Deep Dive. A short squeeze happens when many traders are selling an asset with added leverage and that an abrupt price appreciation causes them to sell their positions or get liquidated. In other words, they buy back the asset at a higher price. In general, this appears to have been a battle between long-term holders and accumulators, the famous sats stackers, and the traders and future market whose bearish sentiment was constantly increasing. At some point, the DCA army will be eating all the volatility giving bitcoin no option except to go up. |
