If you're still treating every vertical pump as a sustainable rally without waiting for the shorts to fully cover, this mistake cost traders millions.
You've been there. The squeeze wick lures you in with FOMO, then once covering is done the price just sits or dumps, and you're stuck not knowing whether to hold or cut losses.
The squeeze explains part of the speed, no doubt. Overleveraged shorts getting liquidated can send $BTC ripping 10% in a session. But that's mechanical, not organic.
What happens after those shorts are gone tells us more about the real strength. Compare it to the 2021 $DOGE squeeze that faded fast versus $SOL's 2023 recovery where volume stayed elevated and it added another 30% on actual buyers stepping in.
We've seen weak follow-throughs turn into traps too many times. The data from past events shows that without that post-squeeze demand, most of these moves retrace 40% or more.
Where do you think this current rally goes once the remaining shorts are flushed out?
