NewsBTC has been reporting<\/a> on the possibility of a short squeeze for Bitcoin. The recent price action was most likely the result of the post-crash as the market needed time to form a range, and institutions de-risked their positions.<\/p>\n

Large players are now potentially sitting in big piles of cash and looking to front-run Bitcoin\u2019s next trend. This moved seems likely to come at the end of December due to the massive number of options that will expire right before the start of 2022.<\/p>\n

Investment firm QCP Capital is one of the defenders<\/a> of the short squeeze thesis for BTC. During the past weeks, the firm has only seen their conviction on this theory strengthen as market participants continue to trade Bitcoin\u2019s current channel.<\/p>\n

Due to the increase in options selling, the reduction of liquidity during the holidays, and the complacency in the market, QCP Capital said:<\/p>\n

We maintain our view that there will be a squeeze (likely to the topside) as liquidity thins out into the holidays and into 2022. If this happens, owning wings (far strikes options) would be very profitable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bitcoin To Break $100,000 In Q1 2022?<\/h2>\n

Other experts agree with QCP Capital\u2019s thesis, such as the CEO and CIO at Three Arrows Capital Zhu Su. Admitting that he has \u201cnot owned this much\u201d Bitcoin since Q4, 2020, before the cryptocurrency rally into $60,000, Su claimed \u201cconditions for gamma squeeze are potent\u201d.<\/p>\n

When asked what the potential targets for Bitcoin in the next months and a short squeeze scenario are, and whether BTC\u2019s price will be able to replicate last year 3x rally from $20,000 to $60,000, Zhu Su replied<\/a>:<\/p>\n

3x is harder given current mcaps. I think 45 to 90 is pretty doable next few weeks and then opens up 135 in q1-q2.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some of his favorite authors are Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Raymond Carver, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Mario Vargas Llosa, Reinaldo Arenas, Rafael Cadenas, and many others. Lately, he has been primarily interested in reading about dystopic societies, a topic that deeply resonates with the crypto industry. Since 2023, he has lived in Spain with his wife. He loves the weather, the food, and the people and their culture. They both expect to travel much more within the country they now call home and beyond its border. He hopes to retire with his wife, maybe in a quiet place near a beach, but most likely in a city close to a library and a university with his kids and, hopefully, grandkids.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/reynaldo-mrquez-2ab111190\/","https:\/\/x.com\/rl_m"],"url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/author\/reynaldomarquez\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Market Gets Cozy With Bitcoin Trapped?
