big time margin call can skyrocket bitcoin price in mid term analyst

Despite the gloomy short term price trend of Bitcoin (BTC), the pattern of liquidations on BitMEX and historical funding rates point toward a possible serious short squeeze in the medium-term.
“High chance BTC bears get margin called big time in coming months.
 Funding rates will be your evidence in hindsight,” Bitazu Capital partner Mohit Sorout said.
On March 12, a huge drop in price liquidated over a billion dollars in Bitcoin long contracts, causing BTC to drop to as low as $3,600.
A similar squeeze could occur against bears or shorts in the upcoming months, which may cause a strong upsurge.

The bitcoin market is now showing peak fear, wait until it subsides

 Amid the coronavirus pandemic and rising jobless claims across the globe, investors are expressing fear towards the stability of all asset classes including stocks, cryptocurrencies and precious metals.
It has resulted in panic-driven selling throughout March, and while Bitcoin has rebounded since falling below $4,000, prominent technical analysts like DonAlt have identified the $4,000 to $5,000 range as a potential retest area for BTC in the short-term.
The two indicators that traders are currently observing to predict the medium-term price trend of BTC are the funding rate of BTC futures contracts and the liquidation pattern on BitMEX.


On a perpetual swap, which is a futures contract with no expiration date, a system called funding is used to balance the market.
 Simply put, when there are more investors shorting Bitcoin or expecting it to go down, the rate of funding turns negative.
 Then, shorts have to pay long contract holders a portion of their position.

For instance, as of April 16, the funding rate on BitMEX is 0.0564%.
 This means short contract holders have to compensate longs with 0.0564 percent of their position three times in a day.

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge to...

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
