After moving about a narrow range around 1.5% lower, the largest cryptocurrency was pushed toward the mark of $28,000 ahead of the Wall Street open, and yet fielded multiple and fresh concerns from market participants over a bunch of losses that were about to come. Daan Crypto Trades, a popular trader, went on to eye the ongoing tussle between the two extremely key moving averages on one-day timeframes.

Daan Crypto Trades also went on to flag increasing open interest across exchanges, which was quite apt as it allowed one to squeeze a series of shorts, which were followed by longs. He suggested that there was usually a short squeeze which was then followed by a long squeeze.
According to data retrieved from monitoring resource CoinGlass, it was understood that the liquidations were quite negligible across both the long, as well as short Bitcoin positions throughout the 6th of October.
