With short orders remaining at very high levels, some may be tempted to enter a position in anticipation of an impending short squeeze — but is that a smart move?

Take a Look at the Stochastic RSI

If a short squeeze is going to happen, one technical indicator suggests it might not happen before Bitcoin experiences at least a minor correction.

The indicator in question is the Stochastic RSI, which combines the Stochastic Oscillator formula to a set of Relative Strength Index (RSI) values. In essence, it is a valuable (though imperfect) tool for measuring momentum.

At the moment, the Stochastic RSI on Bitcoin’s daily chart is showing a bearish signal, as the blue line looks set to cross the orange line — potentially indicating that a pullback is impending as any bullish momentum is waning.

However, like all indicators, the Stochastic RSI is little more than a tool. It is not a predictor, and should not be treated as one.
