Don’t get excited—this rally is very likely a trap.
Today, $BTC moved from 78,200 up to 80,848, a 3% gain. It looks pretty impressive, right? But if you look closely at the data, that entire increase was built by short liquidations piling up.
The funding rate is only 0.0085%. Honestly, that’s pretty healthy—but it also suggests that longs haven’t entered in large numbers yet. So who’s doing the push?
My view is that the “contract bears” got swept by stop-losses, which is why the price went up. This kind of spike has a characteristic: there’s no incremental capital—it's driven purely by sentiment.
My plan: open a short around 80,800, set the stop-loss at 81,500. If it breaks below 79,500, you can add more. If it can return to the 78,500–79,000 range, then that’s the real opportunity.
One more thing—chasing longs at this level is basically what “newbies” do. Isn’t it better to stay sidelined and watch?
Were the bears really buried cleanly this time?
