Bears liquidated - bulls next?

Bears were shaken out of their short positions as $BTC rose back above its trend line last Monday. Currently, things are starting to look much better because the price has consolidated above since then. 

As previously mentioned, $btc may still be in trouble. Having shaken out many of the bears after liquidations, it could happen that another dip does the same to the bulls. 

According to the liquidation heatmap on Coinglass, $88 million in long liquidations would take place at a price of $41,810, and at $41,389, a further $94 million would be liquidated.

The liquidation of $112 million of shorts at a price of $42,652 is beneficial. Bitcoin's current price range of $39,000 to $44,000 indicates that there will be a liquidation of either a major position from the bears or the bulls.

Given that the $BTC price is again above its trend, it appears that the bears are more probable than the bulls at this point. The final decision regarding this will be made by the market.
