Bitcoin technical indicators ‘improving’ at $59K may trigger short squeeze

Bitcoin technical indicators are “improving” — meaning a short squeeze may be “inevitable,” according to crypto analysts.

Several of Bitcoin’s popular trading metrics are flashing positive which may force traders to act quickly and cover their positions if macroeconomic events align, according to a crypto analyst.

“Technical indicators are improving, and with some traders holding short positions, there’s potential for a short squeeze,” 10x Research head of research Markus Thielen said in an Aug. 21 report.

One of the key metrics that caught Thielen’s eye as a sign of improvement is Bitcoin’s relative strength index (RSI) “bottoming out” — which measures the speed and change of its price movements to identify overbought or oversold conditions.

Bitcoin $59K price may swing ‘drastically’ amid election year parallels

If Bitcoin follows the same pattern as previous election years, August will be "nothing crazy," but a breakout may occur within a month or two, according to a crypto analyst.

Bitcoin’s price chart is mirroring patterns seen in previous United States election years, and its recent lack of momentum could be significantly reversed, according to a cryptocurrency analyst.

“Bitcoin has seen the same sort of structure” crypto analyst Matthew Hyland pointed out in an Aug. 16 analyst video. He explained that Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent extended consolidation followed by a downturn— which saw Bitcoin fall below $50,000 at the beginning of August — is similar to patterns seen in 2012, 2016, and 2020 ahead of US presidential elections.

“I’ll go back to August 2012, a massive crash right here. Then we slowly moved into the election, before moving up drastically after the election,” Hyland added.

Crypto products shed $528M amid recession fears — CoinShares

As Bitcoin dropped below $50,000, analysts expect more outflows that would potentially drive prices down to $42,000.

Cryptocurrency assets started seeing significant outflows last week amid growing fears of a recession in the United States and geopolitical concerns, according to a new report by the crypto investment firm CoinShares.

The week of July 28 to Aug. 3 saw digital asset investment products posting outflows for the first time in four weeks totalling $528 million, CoinShares reported in its latest digital asset fund flows report published on Aug. 5.

CoinShares noted that the latest crypto sell-off is believed to be a reaction to fears of a recession in the US, geopolitical uncertainty and consequent broader market liquidations across the majority of assets.
