Bitcoin spot demand builds as short squeeze risk increases
Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Bitcoin spot demand builds as short squeeze risk increases Original Link: https://cryptonews.net/news/bitcoin/32282115/ Bitcoin has rallied roughly 10% so far in 2026, holding just below $97,000, and the move appears to be driven primarily by spot buying rather than leveraged positioning through futures.
Spot markets involve the direct purchase of bitcoin for immediate delivery, meaning buyers take ownership of the asset. Futures markets, by contrast, are derivative contracts that allow traders to gain exposure using leverage without owning the underlying bitcoin.
A spot driven rally is generally healthier than a leveraged rally because it reflects genuine demand rather than speculative positioning. On-chain data shows that the recent move from $90,000 to $97,000 has transitioned from a leverage led rally into one supported by spot buying over the past week.
