Bitcoin shorts feel heat as BTC price adds $1,000<\/h2>\n

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro<\/a> and TradingView<\/a> followed a snap return to levels seen after the weekly close on BTC\/USD.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin had seen immediate weakness<\/a> on the previous day\u2019s Wall Street open, briefly dipping below $25,000<\/a> to cap its worst performance since mid-June.<\/p>\n

The subsequent comeback took the largest cryptocurrency $1,000 higher, but at the time of writing, $26,000 still acted as resistance.<\/p>\n

Ahead of time, on-chain monitoring resource Material Indicators warned that BTC price would soon face a \u201csupport test\u201d thanks to bid liquidity further down the order book being removed.<\/p>\n

In further preemptive analysis<\/a>, Material Indicators and others noted that previous support \u201crug pulls\u201d had ultimately produced Bitcoin market upside instead, with large-volume traders clearing liquidity from immediately around spot price.<\/p>\n

Continuing<\/a>, co-founder Keith Alan predicted that $24,750 would hold as support on the down move, something which at the time of writing holds true.<\/p>\n

After the recovery, which he called<\/a> a \u201ctextbook short squeeze,\u201d popular trader Skew was among those calling for bulls to overcome $26,000 resistance.<\/p>\n

Data from monitoring resource CoinGlass<\/a> showed total BTC short liquidations at just over $12 million for Sept. 12 so far, while $71 million in BTC longs suffered the day prior.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin price: “Next impulse” incoming?<\/h2>\n

Optimistic as ever<\/a>, meanwhile, fellow popular trader Credible Crypto eyed a Bitcoin market cap dominance breakout as a potential precursor to the next bullish BTC price move.<\/p>\n

In fresh X analysis<\/a> on Sept. 12, he flagged a local dominance downtrend being tested \u2014 something which last occurred in mid-June and sparked over $7,000 in gains over two weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cFive days after BTC dominance broke its local downtrend, price followed suit with the next impulsive leg which was a $7,000 move,\u201d part of accompanying comments read.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith bullish market structure intact on BTC, 24.8k held, and BTC dominance breaking out, I think there is a decent argument to be made that our next impulse is just around the corner.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
