Created
Thesis
When big hedge funds switch from betting against Bitcoin to betting on a rally, it removes a wall of selling pressure that has been weighing on the price for months. These same funds rarely move all at once unless they see something coming — in this case, inflation data that could confirm the Fed is done raising rates. Bitcoin has already pushed above $65,000, and if the funds are right about the direction, the exit of so many short-sellers creates a feedback loop where buying forces more short-sellers to cover, pushing the price even higher.

Thesis: When big hedge funds switch from betting against Bitcoin to betting on a rally, it removes a wall of selling pressure that has been weighing on the price for months. These same funds rarely move all at once unless they see something coming — in this case, inflation data that could confirm the Fed is done raising rates. Bitcoin has already pushed above $65,000, and if the funds are right about the direction, the exit of so many short-sellers creates a feedback loop where buying forces more short-sellers to cover, pushing the price even higher.
