On October 1st, the prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies saw a sudden jump, with Bitcoin surging 3% in just 15 minutes and Ethereum gaining 4.7%. This sudden movement has left many in the crypto community wondering what is going on, with some suggesting that “someone knows something” that others don’t. This sudden pump has been dubbed “Uptober”, as October is typically a bullish month for the price action of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The crypto market is looking to the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF product by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, with most analysts tipping Jan. 2024 as the most likely date for such an announcement. Unfortunately, the rapid uptick saw $70 million in short positions liquidated in just two hours, with nearly $36 million worth of BTC shorts and $23 million worth of ETH shorts being “rekt” by the sudden price move.
