โ ๏ธ For Short Traders
Favorable:
ยท Price has broken prior lows; bearish momentum is in control
ยท Liquidation cluster sits below; a break of $1,357 could accelerate the move
Risks:
ยท $1,376 is only 1.2% above the liquidation zone. If $1,357โ$1,360 holds and price bounces, shorts could get squeezed ๐ฌ
ยท Shorts were already squeezed near $1,400 before; one large short position was forced to close with a $35.44M loss
ยท Whale accumulation could provide short-term buy support
๐ Key Levels to Watch
ยท $1,357โ$1,360: liquidation cluster; break below opens $1,296 โ $1,220
ยท $1,400โ$1,430: reclaiming this zone would weaken the bearish structure
ยท $1,558: average entry of the long positions above; important psychological line for bulls
โก $1,376 is a sensitive spot: bearish trend intact, but very close to a liquidation trigger. Direction may be decided in the next few hours by the battle over $1,357โ$1,360. โก
