Charles Hayter, a crypto analyst and co-founder of CryptoCompare welcomed the current value gains. He described them as positive news and stated it as some sort of reliefs. However, Hayter thought the market is sending mixed signals on how it will behave in the near future.

A blockchain advisor, investor and well-known influencer named as Oliver Isaacs provided similar input as Charles and emphasized unsure nature of the market. He believed that the better stability of Bitcoin’s price for the previous weeks has been invisible for a long time. That is why, people should acknowledge this as a good signal of having more gains to come most especially for the next couple of months. Isaacs also said that the price action indicates an initial phase of growth phase. It will be followed by public participation phase making level past $8,000.

Despite of all potentials for bullish, short interest levels must be watch thoroughly. There is a possibility for short squeeze to happen. Short squeeze is a state wherein severely shorted stock changes abruptly higher. It will force more short traders to close out short positions and will add to the ascending stock pressure. Short sellers will be squeezed out of short positions, commonly at a loss. They are usually triggered by a good development that recommends stock to embark on a turnaround. Though turnaround in the fortune of stock proves to be temporary, only a small number of short sellers can take the risk of huge losses. Some prefer to close out short positions even if it means a large loss.
