Rally Isn’t What You Think…
Bitcoin has been going up for 6 weeks straight…
But the data tells a completely different story.
This is the first time in this bear phase where price and Open Interest (OI) have clearly diverged on a mid-timeframe.
For six straight weeks, price has been grinding higher…
while OI has been steadily declining.
That’s a signal. And not the one most people think.
This isn’t strong, fresh demand stepping in.
This is short covering.
Traders who shorted earlier are closing positions, taking profits…
and that exit flow is what’s pushing price up.
A lot of them saw $60K and said: “That’s enough.”
So they closed — and price moved higher as a result.
But here’s the catch 👇
In a true trend reversal, you would see:
OI expanding
Shorts getting replaced by new longs
Fresh capital entering the market
Momentum building on both sides
We’re not seeing that here.
This move feels one-sided.
More like pressure being released…
than real fuel being added.
And that matters ⚠️
Because short covering has a limit.
Once the last weak short is gone…
that source of buying disappears.
Then what?
👉 Who’s left to push the price higher?
Do you think this rally has real strength… or is it just a squeeze?
