$2.2B of CME bitcoin shorts are sitting there ahead of the midterms.
Per CoinDesk, roughly 29,220 BTC-equivalent short positions on CME were flagged, with $21.99B in short-side taker volume over 24 hours. Large exchange withdrawals are also being read as early seller exhaustion, though the Binance hack has muddied positioning data.
My take: crowded shorts can fuel a squeeze if price lifts, but the data is noisy right now and the election could cut either way for crypto legislation.
Which matters more for $BTC over the next month: the election result or institutional adoption? Not financial advice.
