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.

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 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.
