The cryptocurrency market itself could be in the early stages of a significant short-squeeze as wobbly Bitcoin renews itself at $66,200. Market observers are interested in carrying liquidation rates, claiming that more than $10 billion of short positions could be forced out with price increases beyond this level. This development could set off a chain reaction which could force prices to increase in what appears to be a near vertical line.
Liquidation levels are a key metric in understanding market pressure. When a short position is liquidated, the trader is forced to buy the asset at the current price, which can lead to a sharp price increase if there is a large concentration of liquidations at a specific level.More so, a spot buy will be evident when Bitcoin hits $66,200, marking the elimination of about $ 10bn worth of short contracts.
If this first round of liquidations is to occur then it could trigger a domino effect. Besides the $66,200, there are other two liquidation targets, which include $70,300 per short position of $16 billion and $72,578 for a short position of $18 billion.
These liquidations could potentially send the price of Bitcoin even higher if market conditions allow it as the chart below shows.Short squeeze is a situation characterized by a tightly short sold security experiencing an upward price shift that causes short-sellers to cover, thus increasing the price even further.
