Bitcoin fell sharply by 5% to $58,000, its lowest level since 2024, before rebounding slightly to $59,400. The broader crypto market also declined, influenced by a hawkish Fed signaling imminent rate hikes. Despite the downtrend, derivatives data show many traders are heavily shorting Bitcoin, creating a crowded trade setup that could trigger a short squeeze and a potential price rebound. Strong buy orders below current prices support this possibility, suggesting short-term relief may be ahead even as the overall trend remains bearish.
