Bitcoin has just reached a new all-time high, potentially triggering massive liquidations of short positions worth $4 billion. This could significantly impact the cryptocurrency market, with ripple effects expected to be felt across the broader financial landscape. Analysts believe this event will trigger rapid price shifts that may affect both Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. A key factor in this potential surge is a substantial holding by large traders who have significant short positions in Bitcoin, estimated at $4 billion. Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, believes this scenario could lead to a dramatic market shift, potentially causing losses for those with large short positions.
