Svmuu News: In an analysis posted on X, 10x Research noted that since analysts suggested on February 20—just ahead of Circle’s earnings report—that a short squeeze might occur, the company’s stock price has risen by more than 80% in less than three weeks.Although some hedge funds had begun reducing their positions prior to the catalyst (with short positions previously accounting for 17.8% of outstanding shares), they likely incurred approximately $1 billion in paper losses during the sharp price surge.10x Research advises investors to monitor the scale of hedge fund short positions across the entire crypto stock sector to identify the next potential trading opportunity, as short covering has provided strong upward momentum for crypto stocks, enabling them to outperform the Bitcoin. Although the rally may not be as explosive as the previous surge in Circle,the risk-reward ratio remains attractive and offers built-in downside protection, making it suitable for the current market environment.
