BITCOIN SHORTS SURGE AS MARKET BRACES FOR BIG MOVE Despite Bitcoin’s recent rally, investors are increasing bets that its price will fall. Data from CEX. IO shows bearish traders are paying around 11% interest in April to hold short positions, briefly reaching 19% — the highest since early 2023. This comes as Bitcoin sees one of its largest accumulation spikes on record. The clash between heavy buying and rising short bets suggests a major price move ahead, with one side likely to be caught off guard. Bitcoin is down 1.6% to $75,754.(*Walter Bloomberg)
