COIN (Coinbase) Short Squeeze — Are Short Sellers Piling Back In?
Bitcoin's latest surge triggered a massive short squeeze across the crypto market—and Coinbase moved sharply higher alongside it.
But now comes the interesting question:
Are short sellers coming back for another round?
In this episode of Options Detective, we dig into COIN's options market to see how traders are positioning after the sudden crypto rally.
We'll examine call-versus-put activity, COIN's open interest relative to its historical range, and the individual strikes and multi-leg positions appearing across the option chain.
And there's an interesting contradiction: despite all the recent excitement, COIN's overall options positioning is still nowhere near historically crowded based on the open-interest percentile examined in the video.
So are traders positioning for another move higher? Are bears rebuilding positions after the squeeze? Or is some of this apparent bullish activity actually institutions selling premium into the rally?
We'll investigate what may actually be happening beneath the surface.
