Bitcoin Price Analysis: Short Squeeze or Correction?
With short orders remaining at very high levels, some may be tempted to enter a position in anticipation of an impending short squeeze — but is that a smart move?
Take a Look at the Stochastic RSI
If a short squeeze is going to happen, one technical indicator suggests it might not happen before Bitcoin experiences at least a minor correction. The indicator in question is the Stochastic RSI, which combines the Stochastic Oscillator formula to a set of Relative Strength Index (RSI) values. In essence, it is a valuable (though imperfect) tool for measuring momentum.
At the moment, the Stochastic RSI on Bitcoin’s daily chart is showing a bearish signal, as the blue line looks set to cross the orange line — potentially indicating that a pullback is impending as any bullish momentum is waning. However, like all indicators, the Stochastic RSI is little more than a tool. It is not a predictor, and should not be treated as one. Do you think Bitcoin will see a short squeeze this week, or is a correction likely? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! [Disclaimer: This article is not intended as financial advice.
