[Bitcoin May Stage an '80K Short Squeeze,' Analysts Warn of an Approaching Larger Liquidation Storm] BlockBeats News, May 25: As the market bets on easing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, Bitcoin has rebounded from around $75,000, and traders are beginning to anticipate a push toward $80,000, potentially triggering a significant wave of short liquidations. Several traders have noted that Bitcoin's previous dip below $75,000 seemed more like a 'liquidity sweep,' and the market has now returned to a short-term bullish rhythm. Analysts point out that the $80,000 to $80,500 range is densely packed with high-leverage short positions, and if prices continue to rise, it could spark a new round of short squeezes. Meanwhile, expectations for a peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran are heating up, with U.S. stock futures already hitting record highs and oil prices retreating. Analysts believe that if geopolitical risks subside, it will benefit the overall recovery of risk assets, including the crypto market. However, on-chain and capital flow data continue to send warning signals. On-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant noted that Bitcoin net inflows to Binance have significantly increased over the past 10 days, with reserves rising by approximately 16,000 BTC in a single month, often seen as a signal of potential selling pressure. Additionally, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recently experienced continuous outflows, and the Coinbase premium index has turned negative, indicating weakening institutional demand in the U.S. At the same time, leveraged long positions in the market continue to grow, with funding rates remaining positive. Analysts warn that against the backdrop of 'ETF outflows, weak spot demand, and crowded leveraged longs,' Bitcoin's current rally appears more like a fragile, leverage-driven rebound rather than a healthy bull market, potentially leading to a 'large-scale liquidation event' in the future.
