The post BTC Price Holds $90K as Oversold Signal Hints at Potential Short Squeeze: Crypto Daybook Americas appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

By Omkar Godbole (All times ET unless indicated otherwise) The crypto market remains choppy, with the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) little changed on a 24-hour basis and the bitcoin BTC$92,123.27 price consolidating above $90,000.

Investors are camped out on the bearish side and have scaled back expectations of a Fed rate cut to 30% from 98% a month ago. This is precisely the set up where a piece of good news — a massively weak payroll data that boosts rate-cut bets, for example — can trigger a short squeeze and a rally. So, with all these pieces in…
