Recently, it seems that the risk of a short squeeze is increasing, and the demand to buy Bitcoin spot is quite rising. Looking at the charts, it feels like institutional investors are also becoming more active.
During these times, short positions are being squeezed, which further increases buying pressure—it's a vicious cycle or perhaps a virtuous cycle. If a full-scale short squeeze occurs, spot demand might accelerate even more. In fact, inflows into spot trading are becoming noticeable.
It also seems that the media is closely watching this short squeeze scenario, and market sentiment probably feels more secure holding physical assets. In the short term, this demand trend is likely to continue, but how long it will last remains to be seen.
