Despite the recent rise in Bitcoin, investors are increasing their bets on a price decline. CEX.IO data shows that short sellers are paying an interest rate of about 11% to maintain their short positions, which once rose to 19%, the highest level since the beginning of 2023. At the same time, Bitcoin is experiencing one of the largest accumulation phases in history. Strong buying pressure and rising short bets indicate that the market may experience significant price volatility, and one side may be "squeezed" or face a reverse impact. Currently, Bitcoin is down 1.6%, priced at $75,754.
