Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Short Squeeze as Bears Face Losses
A well-known crypto analyst predicts that overleveraged Bitcoin (BTC) bears could soon face significant losses.
The anonymous host of the InvestAnswers YouTube channel expects a short squeeze in the near future.
A short squeeze occurs when traders who have shorted an asset—betting its price will decline—are forced to buy it back as prices rise, leading to further price increases.
The analyst points out that Bitcoin bears have been heavily shorting BTC, creating conditions for a potential rally. He highlights that perpetual swap funding rates have been consistently negative over the past week, while open interest has surged. This indicates aggressive shorting, which could set the stage for a short squeeze.
