Santiment also points out that the recent price spike in BTC was triggered by a cascade of short sellers being liquidated as the value of Bitcoin moved higher, triggering a short squeeze.
#Bitcoin's rise to $42.3k today was propelled thanks to plenty of short liquidations. Funding rates continue to be a great source for indicating how traders place their bets, and peeking in to see if they're putting their money where their mouth is. https://t.co/TK2zx2mMsx pic.twitter.com/XZ0wbLZIeb— Santiment (@santimentfeed) March 18, 2022
