The renewed inflows arrive alongside signs that long-term holders and large investors are moving coins off exchanges and into cold storage \u2013 a pattern that typically reduces selling pressure and strengthens price floors.<\/p>\n
Despite the rebound, a large cluster of short positions remains in play. Data reviewed from CoinGlass shows that roughly $5 billion in bearish bets are still active and concentrated at higher price levels. If Bitcoin pushes just a few percentage points higher, toward the $98,000 region, a significant portion of these shorts could be forced to unwind.<\/p>\n

With so much open interest positioned against Bitcoin, any extended move upward increases the chance of cascading liquidations. Short squeezes occur when traders must buy back into the market to cover losing positions \u2014 a process that can amplify rallies as forced buying accelerates price activity.
