What is a short squeeze?
A short squeeze happens when the price of an asset sharply increases due to a lot of short sellers being forced out of their positions.
Short sellers are betting that the price of an asset will decline. If the price rises instead, short positions start to amass an unrealized loss. As the price goes up, short sellers may be forced to close their positions.
This can occur via stop-loss triggers, liquidations (for margin and futures contracts). It can also happen simply because traders manually close their positions to avoid even greater losses.
So, how do short sellers close their positions? They buy. This is why a short squeeze results in a sharp price spike. As short sellers close their positions, a cascading effect of buy orders adds more fuel to the fire. As such, a short squeeze is typically accompanied by an equivalent spike in trading volume.
Here’s something else to consider. The larger the short interest is, the easier it is to trap short sellers and force them to close their positions. In other words, the more liquidity there is to trap, the greater the increase in volatility may be thanks to a short squeeze. In this sense, a short squeeze is a temporary increase in demand while a decrease in supply.
The opposite of a short squeeze is a long squeeze – though it’s less common. A long squeeze is a similar effect that happens when longs get trapped by cascading selling pressure, leading to a sharp downward price spike.

Bitcoin is unable to break the downtrend line on smaller timer frames. This shows a lack of strength in the market. The major support is $19,500-$20,000 area and there is a lot of liquidity in this zone. We may see range trading (sideways movement) for sometime before the next move. Wait for the market to settle in a range for new entries.
Crypto Chart Alerts
Bitcoin dominance is now testing the major resistance area. A break above 49% will bring more bloodbath in altcoins. If Dominance is rejected from here then we see a test of 47% support level. Stay away from altcoins until BTC is stable in a range.
The TOTAL marketcap is now testing the support of $810-$850 Billion area. The TOTAL marketcap broke the $1 trillion support and dumped hard. We will see some sideways movement now before the next move. A bounce is expected towards a $1 trillion resistance area of approximately 15% bounce from the current level. A break below the support of $810 billion is exceptionally bearish for the whole cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin is able to break the downtrend line and this is good for the short term. The resistance on a smaller time frame is $23,000 and a break above this will open gates for the $25,000 level. There are chances that BTC now trade in the range before the next move. The major support is $19,500-$20,000 level. Don't FOMO and wait for new trades.

What is Forex Trading?
Even if you don't trade forex yourself, the international currencies market often plays a significant role in your daily life. While the effects of a drop in the stock market aren't always so obvious, a change in your currency's value may affect the price of goods and services. If you've been abroad, you've also likely had to exchange your currency and pay a rate that depends on current forex quotes and rates.
Forex is a unique asset class that differs from stocks, commodities, and bonds. When we dive into what makes it different, it’s plain to see why there is such a large market and need for the truly global forex market.
Forex or FX trading (from foreign exchange) is the purchasing and selling of sovereign currencies and other forex products. When exchanging currencies at a bank or bureau de change, the rates we find are determined directly by what happens in the forex market.
Exchange rate movements are based on a mixture of economic conditions, world events, interest rates, politics, and other factors. As a result, forex is highly liquid and has the largest trading volume compared to other financial markets.
The forex market comprises two main activities: trading facilitating economic transactions and speculative trading. For companies and other entities operating in international markets, purchasing and selling foreign currencies are a must. Getting your funds back home or purchasing goods abroad is a key forex market use case.
Speculators make up the other side of FX trading. Short-term, high-volume trading that takes advantage of very small fluctuations in currency prices is common. Forex is a market full of arbitrage opportunities for speculators, in part explaining the vast trading volume in the market.

ETH analysis:
ETH broke the key level of $1350-$1450 and dumped hard. This is the high of the previous bull run and the key level to flip. ETH is bearish below this level. The next major support is $900-$950 on the weekly chart. If ETH is able to flip the $1450 level then we see some positive movement in the market. The local resistance is $1200 area. Place your buy orders in a range of $900-$1050 and wait.
