Bitcoin Nears $27K As Short Squeeze Fuels Price Bounce, But Resistance Looms

  • Bitcoin bounced around $27,000, challenging month-to-date highs and dragging BTC price upward.

  • Data showed the upside came from derivatives markets, with spot traders selling at the highs. $27,200 remains a key rejection point.

  • Over $22 million in shorts were liquidated yesterday, the largest single-day tally in 10 days.

  • If Bitcoin closes the monthly above the 20-month SMA, August may be considered a fakeout, which would be bullish.
