Bitcoin is officially trading at fresh all-time highs, with the crypto’s price racing as high as $20,800 this morning before losing some momentum and hovering just below this level Where the crypto trends in the mid-term should depend largely on whether or not it can turn this momentum into another parabolic uptrend One trader believes that this is a strong possibility, and could be induced by an imminent short-squeeze The break above $20,000 has put virtually every bear in Bitcoin’s history underwater, with it now entering uncharted territory as the world sees its first $20,000+ Bitcoin The coming few days should provide investors with some serious insights into where the entire market will trend in the days and weeks ahead

Bitcoin is officially trading at the highest prices it has ever seen, with its long-held bout of consolidation beneath $20,000, ultimately resulting in it seeing an explosive move higher.

Where the crypto trends in the mid-term should depend largely on whether or not it can sustain its current momentum, as it now needs to form support between its current price and the lower-$20,000 region.

The massive quantity of underwater short positions does seem to indicate that upside could be imminent in the days ahead as bears capitulate and close their underwater positions.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading up just under 6% at its current price of $20,550. This is around where it has been trading throughout the past few hours, with the selling pressure seen in the upper-$20,000 region proving to be significant.

BTC rallied as high as $20,800 today before it found some resistance that slowed its ascent.

It is important to note that the break above $20,000 does appear to be resulting in a short-squeeze, leading to further upside.

Except for any bear who shorted $20,800, virtually every Bitcoin short-seller is currently underwater.

The massive quantity of short orders laced throughout the upper-$19,000 region are likely all being – or on the cusp of being – liquidated, which could create a squeeze that sends BTC rocketing higher.

“Everyone who has ever gone short in the entire history of bitcoin is now underwater. Congrats fellow bulls,” one trader noted.

The coming few days should shine a light on where the new support and resistance levels are established.
