SHORTS SHORTS SHORTS SHORT SHORTS SHORTS - ER'RYBODY!Historically we have now seen TWICE how dangerous this level of shorts can be, yet we are already almost back to yesterdays levels and the MACD is only just curling back up and crossing on the 240.
Im thinking that yesterdays conveniently timed squeeze during the Bitmex Maintenance was just a taste and that another huge spike is yet come to show them what a real short squeeze is all about. I don't know anything for certain but if whales are gonna whale, be prepared to potentially see a $1000 candle to shake a few things up.
This is so top heavy on shorts its not funny.
If you are leveraging and one of the many people in this stack - double check your own trade plan to see if you have scaled out short orders to push out your liquidation point, or triple check that you have a market stop in place.
A $1000 candle aint gonna give your standard stops time to hit. It would be whiplash city.
That candle be getting throw around faster than a 9-tailed whip at a BDSM Party with no safe words.
The other potential action here is slamming up for a brand new ATH from the uptrend and pushing us back down toward the inverted head and shoulders in my other published idea.
This would be incredibly unstable and top heavy for shorts considering what we seen what happened in April.
The bottom wouldnt last for long and there would be some hectic green candles ready to turn us back up the right side of the head pretty quickly once we got there.
TRADE WITH CAUTION!

BTCUSDSHORTS trade ideas
BTC - New short squeeze is incomingThe amount of opened short positions is skyrocketing again. From 17k on Aug 2, it more than doubled by the end of the month and almost hit the previous record of 40k+.
Combined with the recent influx of negative news, it may very well try to reach the new high in the nearest future:

#Bitcoin stuck below $6,500, and @AnthonyGriz is betting on more pain to come

However, the nature of such parabolic runs can be called anything, but sustainable.
It didn't end up good last time in mid April. I have no reasons to believe that this time it will be any different.
I will not be surprised at all if the market "suddenly" develops opposite to the direction mainstream media is pointing at the present moment.
Bitcoin (BTC) Pump before dump, perfect short chance.Hey everyone, Bitcoin has once again proved why the ETF will not be approved. It is manipulated as !@#$. Right now, I recommend you to start entering your short positions. I managed to get short at 7k with an average of 6820 so far. When the ETF gets denied tomorrow we will be sitting in a good spot.
BTCUSDSHORTS is declining as it should, I would recomend a short position now.
Interesting SHORTS graph structure. NEW ATH COMING?!Previous highs become support for the SHORTS.. 3 times from now..
Will the ETF decision create a new all time high? It's more likely that the ETF will not be approved and this could mean we will see a new all time high on the shorts graph.
When we get a approval we will see a huge jump in the BTC price and the shorts will probably squeeze towards the bottom of the sea.
Time will tell guys!
BTCUSD Shorts have not been squeezed yetHere is a different perspective. We made what some may consider a large move up, but BTCUSD shorts have not really been squeezed yet. So far this move looks like it has enough momentum to get us to 7050-7150 which could be accelerated with a real short squeeze. I'm bullish on the short term and looking to enter short positions around those levels.
No more "Short Squeeze".. Because Bitmex Funding rate is > 0For people who still think there will be short squeeze soon ( 21 Aug 2018 ) and the price will jump skyrocket like in April 2018, think again.
They already tried to do short squeeze when bitfinex short position was around 36k a few days back but the bull can only pump the price to around 6630$ and then slam down hard.
I think the better indicator to look for the short squeeze possibility is Bitmex Funding Rate.
Because when funding rate is < 0 ==> it's mean people hold short position more than long position.
The far from 0 down, the more of short positions accumulated. ( You can check rate history here coinfarm.online )
And right now, the rate is > 0 and will be 0.01% soon... it's mean that short and long are almost equal. So no more stupid bears will get Rekt in the near future....
==================
I think a lot of weak hand people, noobies or gamblers already got rekt at Bitmex and those people are out of the market ( no money! )
Right now, only some strong and ( a bit ) smart trader left, and no more stupid 50x-100x at the resistant zone so no more Rekt chain reaction....
Bitcoin! Do not panic! Bears are starting to exhaust...Hello traders,
Let's look at Bitcoin price action in somewhat different perspective: Bitcoin short.
A "short" trade is initiated by selling with the intent to buy the stock back at lower price and realize a profit.
Before we get into the current situation, I want you to pay attention in yellow rectangle region. We can see that while Bitcoin short positions are increasing, we see that price remains relatively flat. This means that Bears are trying to sell the Bitcoin, hoping to stock back at the lower price. However, because bulls defend that region without driving the price down, people who shorted people were forced to stop shorting their position.
And I believe that similar situation is currently happening. It is evident that shorting position is reaching all time high, but the price is not reaching to all time low. This tells me that bears are starting to get tired of shorting, and we may see trend reversal very soon just as we saw back in april. The shorting position is in oversold region for a quite long time, and every time we see they are in this oversold region, we see a trend reversal.
However my bullish view is invalidated if Bitcoin goes below $6-$6.1K in next 24 hours.
Happy trading!!
BTCSHORTS - Approaching ATH againI find it curious that the BTC-Shorts are approaching the all time high again but the bit-coin price slowly continues to rise. How fast would bit-coin rise if the shorts were not trying to beat it down? How fast will the price rise when these shorts finally cover? The only correct answer in my opinion is that the Bit-coin price will RISE and RISE FAST!
The chart above is the bit-coin shorts chart.
Disclaimer: I'm still long bit-coin and have no plans to exit any time soon. Probably not even the rest of this year if the price finally breaks out.
Shorts at almost ATH???!!! SQUEEEEEZZZEEEE IS COMING?BTC is getting ready for the move. These many days sideways movement is just making all of the traders inpatient. This could be a kind of manipulation this time. Whales accumulating before explosion. There is a hight chance of a short squeeze here BTC
I think the ATH levels of shorts are a goo indicator for this to happen. I think that in these next 2 days we gonna see massive moves in BTC.
I hope we are going UP UP UP!
For me it is just not really logical, if we break the bull market structure BTC and go deeper to the 5000 levels. Many economic and sentiment factors are for going UP really soon. Now I don't mean we are going MOON immediately.
I am still LONG on BTC
Happy trading!

Short Squeeze requirementsThe reference of short squeeze would be the state of some variables before 2018-04-12 and just after the pump of shorts 2018-03-28.
Short squeeze may happen if:
Squeeze Momentum Indicator shows a pumping fase is just about to go into a release of squeeze: a (dark) green followed by dark green.
Squeeze Momentum Indicator has high levels near 5225 or above.
The accumulated values of the ratio between longs and shorts within a pump period of shorts is almost the same as the reference: the red area's must fit each other with low variance.
www.investopedia.com : the short-interest ratio is falling lower than 0.9 to 0.75 as in the reference
