BTC will stage another rally to bait the bulls
Master analyst nicknamed Credible Crypto predicts a surge for Bitcoin. The analyst said, “There is a first rejection here. However, we wouldn’t be surprised to see another push up to get those equal heights before the ‘real’ decline begins.” says.
Source: Credible CryptoCredible Crypto says investors should watch for upward Bitcoin bursts that are not caused by a ‘short squeeze’. According to the analyst, BTC’s recent rise to $38,000 was the result of a ‘short squeeze’. This set the stage for an impending decline that has since ended. The analyst said, “What we want to see in these upward movements is not necessarily ‘short squeezes’ that we can take more seriously. In fact, we want to see spot-oriented movements to the upside. “This kind of momentum requires upward movements that do not require shorts to be closed.” says. The analyst then predicts that BTC will lose momentum and come back as traders with long positions panic and provide liquidity. In this regard, Credible Crypto shares the following predictions:
For the first time in a long time, we have experienced a significant increase in open interest from our lows. What happened the last time we had this kind of rise from the lows? We saw a downward squeeze. So again, with the upward movement there is an increase in open interest. This means long traders are jumping in first… What this means is that if the price of BTC can be forced to pull back, we will likely see some of these longs start to panic and close. This will drive the price down even faster.
