Bitcoin Price Outlook: Massive Short Squeeze Could Ignite a Sharp Rally
Bitcoin is showing early signs of a potential rebound after finding strong support around $108,000.
Market data suggests that a major short squeeze could be forming, as large liquidation clusters are building up above the current price level.
According to Crypto Rover, cumulative short liquidations now exceed $14 billion across major exchanges, compared to just $260 million in long liquidations. This imbalance could trigger a sharp upside move if Bitcoin begins to reclaim key resistance levels.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $108,484, consolidating near the lower boundary of a critical technical zone.
Key Technical Levels
Market analyst Rekt Capital noted that Bitcoin is currently testing the 21-week exponential moving average (EMA), which has acted as a crucial mid-term resistance in previous cycles. The price is hovering just above the historical demand area near $108,000, a region that needs to hold for bulls to maintain momentum.
Rekt Capital emphasized that maintaining this zone as support is essential for Bitcoin to form a new higher low and eventually challenge the 21-week EMA again.
Sideways Accumulation Phase
Meanwhile, Michaël van de Poppe analyzed the monthly chart, describing the current setup as a period of “sideways consolidation” with no clear top or bottom in sight. He believes Bitcoin is preparing for its next major breakout, noting that the long-term structure still supports a continuation of the broader bull trend.
“The chart shows no peak, no bottom – just consolidation before the next breakout upwards,” van de Poppe wrote.
What to Watch Next
If Bitcoin manages to reclaim $111,000, a wave of short liquidations could accelerate the price higher, possibly testing the $115,000–$120,000 range. Conversely, failure to hold above the $108,000 support could expose the market to further downside pressure toward $105,000.
The growing volume of leveraged short positions has increased the likelihood of a volatile move in either direction, with analysts closely monitoring for signs of breakout confirmation.

That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
