Curious why Bitcoin dropped and then popped the last few days?

Yeah, the shorts could really take it hard if bitcoin swings the other way. Good for long-positions like mine. Not to speculate too much, but whats the outlook for the market if the shorts do have to buy in order to cover their wrong pays? Likely more than the 50% rally the market saw after the two spikes in shorts-volume - maybe 2-300% this time around with good institutional news from the SEC maybe?

Honestly I am not sure, it all depends. If there is news of a physically settled ETF being approved, I think bitcoin easily goes back to the highs. However, without that news it may be tough sledding in the short term. We need some sort of catalyst.

CXBTF ETN just went live for traders in the US. It used to be bought only with Swedish krona, leaving it pretty much unavailable to the average US retail investor. But now it can be purchased as an exchange-traded NOTE, instead of a fund. What do you think this does for the market now?

It is pretty bullish though it seems the market is not seeing its merits just yet.
