🚨 Bears overcrowded on $BTC — squeeze risk rising


Data from Santiment shows heavily negative funding rates across exchanges — meaning traders are piling into shorts and paying to stay bearish.
Historically, when shorts get this crowded and Bitcoin $BTC stops falling, the unwind can be violent:
forced buybacks → liquidations → sharp rallies.
This doesn’t guarantee a pump, but it creates mechanical upside risk.
The “easy short” gets dangerous when everyone’s on the same side.
If price starts reclaiming levels with funding still negative, a fast squeeze could follow.
Stay cautious — but don’t get trapped with the crowd.
