So we might hit $8500 or so, create a huge short squeeze and at the same time start trapping some longs, and those trapped longs will be liquidated to take us below the $6600
Definitely plausible. I agree that sentiment is too bearish and warrants a short squeeze.
We have horizontal resistance, the descending trend line from June, and the 20-week MA all in the $8,500 area. So that's a pretty smart area to sell (even if the bottom is in).
I would like a new ATH but you need to be realistic and look at the weekly charts, the $13.8K top we got this year was a failed lower higher and not looking good. As long as we dont go lower than $5000 then all is good.
What's the importance of $5,000?
