Bitcoin: Are We In For a Short Squeeze – Analyst Weighs In

A prominent figure in the crypto trading community has expressed optimism about Bitcoin's (BTC) potential to surge towards the $30,000 mark.

Loma, a respected analyst with a substantial following on Twitter, believes that a strong short squeeze could be the catalyst behind Bitcoin‘s upward movement.

Price at support.
No momentum.
Both sides trying to position themselves here for the next big move.

Loma notes that the current market situation shows a lack of momentum, with both sides positioning themselves for the next significant development. He anticipates a squeeze, indicating that there is a substantial amount of liquidity leading up to the monthly open.

However, Loma also predicts that Bitcoin will experience a significant corrective move before the anticipated rally, with a potential drop to $22,000. In a speculative question posed to his audience, Loma asks what they think the BTC chart will look like in the coming month.

Another analyst, DonAlt, shares a similar sentiment, highlighting Bitcoin’s resilience in avoiding a complete breakdown after encountering resistance at $30,000. DonAlt, who accurately predicted this year’s crypto rally, suggests that several weeks of consolidation could establish a solid foundation for Bitcoin to make further upward progress.

$BTC update:

$27400 has lost its relevance, we've been chopping too hard right below it.

Leverage plays are shit now, no clear setup anywhere due to chop

That said the longer this takes the better for bulls, another week or two and I'd think we'll meander back into the range pic.twitter.com/AFM8wQIxyg

DonAlt further notes that the relevance of the $27,400 price level has diminished, as the market has been characterized by choppy price action just below it. The analyst advises against leverage plays due to the current lack of clear setups caused by the choppy conditions.

Nevertheless, DonAlt believes that an extended period of consolidation would favor the bulls, speculating that within another week or two, Bitcoin may regain its range between $27,400 and $29,400.
