#BTCRallyOrSqueeze

BTC Rally or Short Squeeze? $BTC is holding around $77K while $ETH approaches $2.4K, signaling renewed strength across the market. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded roughly $606M in net inflows on August 20, while Ethereum ETFs attracted another $221M. This suggests the rally is not driven by a short squeeze alone. Institutional flows are providing real support. If ETF inflows remain strong and $BTC holds $77K, the next major target could be the $80K zone.

Whales that were shorting the move have been absolutely destroyed, but fresh sell walls are already rebuilding $BTC around $78,500-$80,000, while the strongest new bids are beginning to appear below. This means smart money is finally repositioning after the squeeze, and the $80,000 area is now the next major battle. Meanwhile, OI has started building again, futures buyers have returned and spot volume and bids have exploded higher. #BTCRallyOrSqueeze #AnthropicIPONears #PopMartEarningsWatch

Before you get giga bullish, please read this. Bitcoin pumped +15% in the last 4 days, flipping short-term momentum ultra-bullish, but this does not fully cancel the risk of a Q4 correction and bottom. 1.

$BTC is absolutely flying 🚀 Price broke above the range VAH and continued as expected, with the 78.2K area now in sight. After ~46 days of compression, a 20% pump is no surprise—but chasing here isn’t my game. Price is extended, so I’m waiting for exhaustion or a retest/deviation around the 79.3K range high for shorts. For longs, 72.3K mid-range remains my main POI. Patience is key. 🎯📊#BTCRallyOrSqueeze #AnthropicIPONears #PopMartEarningsWatch

DON’T WATCH THE CANDLES — WATCH HOW THE MARKET ABSORBS SELLING $BTC touched $79.5K before pulling back to $76.9K, but it is still holding above the MA5/10/20. More importantly, the order book shows heavy sell liquidity above $77K, yet price has not been pushed sharply lower. Meanwhile, $ETH pulled back from $2,448 to around $2,377. if BTC keeps absorbing the sell wall without losing $75K–$76K, this may be post-breakout accumulation rather than distribution.

The Short Squeeze Nobody Wants to Chase BTC just ripped from $64K to $73K, while ETH pushed above $2,340. And the liquidation numbers are insane: around $3.3B wiped out, with shorts making up roughly 92% of the damage. 🔥 But don’t get trapped by the “$160B entered the market” narrative. This looks much more like a massive short squeeze than a wave of fresh spot capital. Forced short covering can make the chart look unstoppable—until the forced buying runs out. #DailyOrbit

Yesterday we asked: rally or squeeze? The market just gave its first answer. $BTC topped $75,000 on OKX spot within 24 hours, extending Wednesday’s breakout. More than $3 billion in crypto shorts were liquidated over 24 hours, per Coinglass. Flows strengthened too. Spot BTC ETFs logged three straight days of inflows, with Wednesday bringing: · $517M net inflows, the biggest single day since early May · IBIT $284.7M · ARKB + FBTC about $140M combined Analysts read the move as longer-horizon institutional positioning, not retail FOMO. On-chain, wallets holding 10 to 10,000 BTC added 20,000+ BTC since July 29, worth about $1.2B at the time. But exchange supply is rebuilding: around 28,000 BTC returned by mid-August, reversing roughly 84% of the prior six-week drain. That weakens the supply-squeeze case, even if exchange deposits do not automatically mean selling. Policy added fuel. At Wednesday’s White House meeting, Trump said government purchases of “sizable” amounts of BTC “has been talked about” and again pushed Congress on the CLARITY Act. Estimates put US holdings near 328,000 BTC, almost all from seizures, with no publicly documented open-market purchase. Regulators are moving too: · SEC proposed its crypto offering framework · CFTC Chair Selig directed staff to explore market rules if Congress keeps stalling Positioning is still the question. Futures OI has rebounded toward the top of its recent range, while funding remains positive without spiking. On July 31, the $60,000 put was Deribit’s largest strike at $1.17B in notional OI. Traders had built heavy downside protection and got a breakout instead. ETH is up close to 5%, with ADA and SOL following. Jackson Hole is less than a week away. Whales accumulated early, ETFs accelerated and policy is turning. But exchange supply is rebuilding and conviction above $75K still needs proving. Squeeze fuel burns out fast. Real demand does not. #BTCRallyOrSqueeze

$BTC : Short Squeeze or Real Breakout? $BTC just ripped above $78K, while $ETH reclaimed $2,400 and $SOL broke $90. Over $800M was liquidated in 24H, with shorts accounting for roughly $670M. That explains the speed of the move. But now comes the real test: spot demand. If ETF inflows keep accelerating, this squeeze could turn into a sustainable breakout. If buying fades, $78K could become a short-term exhaustion zone. I’m watching spot volume and ETF flows more than the green candles.
