Chapter 489 [Directly reload the warehouse and go in and let the grass mud horse die.]
As the Mt.Gox trading platform, which had been closed for six days, resumed again, the price of Bitcoin dropped from $17.5 to $14 at the opening, with a drop of -20%, and it was short-selling at the opening.
Because after the hacker attack, the ambiguity of the management team of the Mt.Gox platform caused panic to gradually accumulate in everyone's hearts. Some speculators saw the "opportunity" and could make a fortune by shorting.
The current Mt.Gox platform also happens to provide short-selling tools.
But the short players were not happy for half a minute, and soon they were dumbfounded.
After the price of Bitcoin fell to the price of $14, it immediately started a short squeeze.
This trend is like a plucking onion in dry land. The price of Bitcoin rose by $8 in one breath, directly from $14 to $22.
Not only did it reverse the previous -20% drop, but it also jumped +25.71%, reaching +57.14% from the bottom price of $14.
This trend made the short-side funds immediately numb, and it was just a time to drink water. A large amount of floating profits were swallowed up and the turning of floating losses continued to expand.
Being short-squeezed is actually more terrifying than short-selling, because the price increase is unlimited.
Once you are short-squeezed, you will either call for a margin call, or buy chips from the market at a higher price to close your position and admit your loss.
If you open short at $17.5, and now it rises to $22, the book floating loss rate of the short seller will immediately reach the -32% level, and this is still without leverage.
If leverage was added, the position would have been liquidated long ago.
And at the current price of $22 to close the position and stop the loss, then the -32% floating loss will immediately become an actual loss, and if you don’t want to close the position, you will call for a margin.
But what if it is further squeezed?
The floating loss will further expand, and the margin must be continuously added to avoid being liquidated.
The actual situation is that the vast majority of short-sellers don’t dare to give up, and they rush to close their positions and stop losses. Everyone has seen the sharp fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin, but those who dare to give up and don’t believe in evil, their wallets have been reset to zero .
With the closing and stop loss of short-selling funds, it is necessary to buy chips from the market to close the position, so the chips become popular, which further pushes the price of Bitcoin upwards, thus forming a positive feedback effect.
The horror of being short-squeezed lies in the strengthening of this positive feedback: because you want to close the position, you have to buy chips from the market, eager to close the position and stop the loss, and are willing to pay a high price, and then all the short parties are looting in order to close the position. Chips, leading to further skyrocketing prices, and then exacerbated the panic and became more eager to close positions and quickly stop losses at high prices...
After Fang Hong's trading team brought up the "rhythm", now they don't have to do it themselves to raise the price. The market sentiment will strengthen itself in the positive feedback and continue to push up the price.
The price of Bitcoin quickly soared all the way to the price of 27.9 US dollars, and the increase expanded to 59.43% of the water level.
The short position was blown up, and the lost money was naturally transferred to the longs' pockets, and the longs made a profit.
After being squeezed short by the market, the previous shorts also turned longs.
It's just a gamble anyway.
With such drastic price fluctuations, normal investors will definitely not and dare not reach out. 99% of the participants who dare to come in to play are gamblers and get rich mentality. .

What is certain is that the skyrocketing price of Bitcoin is definitely not a good thing for the Mt.Gox trading platform. The last thing you want is the Mt.Gox trading platform, which has lost 750,000 bitcoins from users.
If the compensation is based on the previous price of 15 US dollars, the theoretical compensation is 11.25 million US dollars, but now the price has skyrocketed to 41.5 US dollars, and the compensation amount has also skyrocketed to 31.125 million US dollars.
Mt.Gox either recovers the bitcoins, or loses money according to the corresponding price.
But the 750,000 bitcoins from the lost users and the 100,000 bitcoins in the hands of the platform have disappeared, and it is really decentralized at the moment.
