Short squeeze alert for December 29: Two cryptocurrencies with potential to skyrocket

Bitcoin (BTC) recently experienced a price retracement, trading as low as $42,100, which moved the whole cryptocurrency market. Under a bearish sentiment, some cryptocurrencies have been heavily shorted, threatening short-squeeze events on December 29.

Notably, Bitcoin’s dominance suffered the most as altcoins were able to guarantee lower losses than the market leader. Amid signs of an altseason, an increased volume of short positions could ignite massive liquidations — driving the price upwards.

In particular, Finbold spotted two cryptocurrencies on CoinGlass’s dashboard that triggered our short squeeze alert. Cardano (ADA) and Radix (XRD) have a significantly higher volume, favoring shorts over long positions. 

Short squeeze alert for Cardano (ADA) on December 29

The first short squeeze alert is for Cardano, one of the market’s oldest and most solid Ethereum (ETH) competitors. With a $22.07 billion capitalization, its native token trades at $0.623 by press time, down 3.65% in 24 hours.

Meanwhile, ADA’s derivative volume is at $1.22 billion daily, down 22.89% in the period, but slightly weighting to the $697.96 million (53.27%) opened short positions.

Interestingly, ADA is still looking for a break-out from a symmetrical triangle, as reported by Finbold on December 27. Holding above the technical pattern could start the expected short squeeze towards $0.78 per token. At the same time, these shorts liquidation could be the necessary impulse to make the break-out possible — in a chicken-egg situation.

Radix (XRD) could skyrocket on December 29

An even more shorted cryptocurrency is Radix, an innovative Ethereum competitor focused on DeFi.

Essentially, XRD short positions accrue for 77.60% of its $4.88 million 24-hour volume. A pivotal bullish sentiment could liquidate over $3.79 million from short-seller traders for a massive short squeeze.

In the meantime, Radix’s native token is trading at $0.0451, down 4.19% on the day. Investors must remain cautious of XRD’s high volatility, considering it is a low-capitalization cryptocurrency.

However, there are no guarantees that these cryptocurrencies will go through a short-squeeze liquidation event. Cryptocurrency traders must research for themselves and consider each project’s fundamental aspects to make profitable financial decisions.

Talibans trade memecoins to become 'Talibros'

Members of the Taliban have been “making good money” trading memecoins, specifically Shib and Dogecoin, according to a recently-released documentary film. On Sunday, X user and documentary filmmaker “Arab” posted a snippet of a two-part film in which he spends seven days with the Taliban. In the 37-second clip, Arab sits in a room of (presumably) Taliban members and asks one particularly elderly man “do you like memecoins?” At this point, another man interjects, telling Arab that “they don’t know about that.” However, he goes on to explain that he is familiar with crypto and opens up with more details about his trading strategies and preferred coins. “I’ve done Shib and these things,” he says, adding, “ I made some good money in Shib and with Doge .” However, he then clarifies that he “lost it back.” “Talibros trading memecoins,” laughs an excited Arab before ...
