Analyst: Bitcoin Nears New Highs but Traders Remain Bearish, Surge in Short Positions May Trigger Potential Short Squeeze
2025/07/03 15:02According to ChainCatcher, Coindesk analyst Oliver Knight stated that although Bitcoin's trading price has surpassed $110,000 and is approaching its all-time high, traders are still exhibiting bearish sentiment. The long-short ratio has dropped significantly, falling from 1.223 (bullish dominance) to 0.858 (bearish dominance).
Data shows that short open interest has risen from $32 billion to $35 billion, indicating an increase in capital flowing into bearish positions and reflecting a lack of confidence in Bitcoin's continued rally. Currently, Bitcoin remains volatile within the $100,000 to $110,000 range. Technical indicators such as the RSI are showing bearish divergence, and traders are employing short-term strategies to arbitrage within this range.
With the increase in short positions, there is also a potential bullish scenario in the market: a short squeeze. If Bitcoin breaks through its all-time high, triggering forced liquidations and stop-loss levels for shorts, it could rapidly drive up buying pressure and push the price even higher.
