Bitcoin Hits Short Zone Again: What Traders Are Doing
Bitcoin enters short zone again, with traders eyeing 119K–125K for new short positions

- Bitcoin returns to the popular short zone region.
- Major short positions already accumulated between $115K–$117K.
- Traders now targeting $119K–$125K for fresh shorts.
Bitcoin has re-entered what many traders call the “short zone”—a price region that typically signals a good opportunity to bet against the market. With Bitcoin’s price climbing again, seasoned traders are watching closely and preparing to act.
Heavy Short Positions Already in Play
One trader revealed they’ve already accumulated a large number of short positions between the $115,000 and $117,000 range. This level has historically been a resistance zone, and many believe the price will struggle to hold above it. For such traders, this makes it a prime area to enter shorts—expecting Bitcoin’s price to fall in the near future.
Shorting Bitcoin involves borrowing the asset at a higher price, selling it, and then buying it back at a lower price to make a profit. It’s a risky move, but in volatile markets like crypto, it can be highly profitable if timed correctly.
Eyes Now on the $119K–$125K Range
While many positions have already been set, the same trader mentioned that they are now placing additional short orders in the $119,000 to $125,000 range. They refer to this as a “gift” if the market climbs high enough to reach these levels.
This strategy shows strong conviction that Bitcoin’s current rally may not sustain. For others in the market, this could be a signal to watch for potential price reversals and act cautiously if they’re considering long positions.
Bitcoin’s price movement in these zones will be critical. If it breaks through $125K with strength, short sellers could face losses. However, if resistance holds and prices drop, it could validate the strategy behind these aggressive short positions.
