These 2 Bitcoin Derivatives Signals Could Trigger a Long Squeeze: Analyst

Bitcoin could face forced selling if leveraged longs return and BTC subsequently loses key support levels.　　Bitcoins derivatives market is showing a curious split, with open interest falling nearly 4% since August 21, while funding costs for long positions have risen quickly.　　Analyst Axel Adler Jr. says that combination could leave BTC exposed to a long squeeze if traders start rebuilding leverage while maintaining an increasingly bullish bias.　　Falling OI Meets Rising Funding　　In Adler‘s latest brief, he put the focus on what is happening beneath Bitcoin’s price, with BTC-denominated open interest falling from 331,100 BTC on August 21 to 318,600 BTC on August 31, a decline of 3.8%. Over the past 24 hours, another 2,850 BTC has left open positions.　　That means the derivatives market is still in a deleveraging phase following the short squeeze. But traders have not rushed to rebuild the amount of leverage that was cleared out during the earlier move.　　Meanwhile, funding tells a different story, with the current funding rate at 0.00906%, while the eight-hour average sits at 0.00821% and the 24-hour average at 0.00725%. The shorter-term average is already 13% above the 24-hour figure, pointing to a stronger preference for long positions among active traders.　　“The shorts have already been

What would it take to bring Hyperliquid to the US？ Former SEC counsel explains

Hyperliquid has faced a potential 10-to-12-month regulatory process to enter the U.S. market even if federal agencies move quickly, according to former SEC senior counsel Ashley Ebersole, after President Donald Trump said regulators were working on a compliant route for the perpetual futures platform.　　Ashley Ebersole, co-founder and chief legal officer at tx and a former senior counsel at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, told crypto.news that the main obstacle is not simply securing permission for Hyperliquid to operate in the country. U.S. regulators would first have to establish how offshore-style crypto perpetual futures fit within existing securities and derivatives laws.　　President Donald Trump brought the issue into focus on Aug. 19 during a White House meeting with crypto and financial industry executives. Trump said Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Michael Selig was working to bring Hyperliquid into the United States in a “fully compliant and legal fashion.” Contemporary reports did not identify an approval, regulatory structure, or timetable for such a move.　　The comments came as the administration pressed Congress to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. As previously covered by crypto.news, Trump used the same Aug. 19 meeting to urge lawmakers to pass the legislation, which would establish clearer

Webot‘s CEO Says Today’s Trading Bot Is Blind. AI Is How It Learns to See

Webot hosted Beyond the Bot: How AI Is Rewiring Automated Trading. Automated trading is already widely used. The discussion was about how far AI should go inside a bot that already runs in the background, and what needs to be in place before it is allowed to do more.　　Jay Hua, CEO of Webot US and a former vice president at Goldman Sachs, was the main speaker. He was joined by Alevtina Labyuk, chief strategic partnerships officer at BeInCrypto, who previously held marketing roles at companies including Visa; Abay Beyshenkulov, a partner at VComms, a PR firm that works with business and tech companies on media visibility; and Modern Mining, founder of the YouTube channel of the same name, who has run Webot grid bots for about three years.　　The hour moved in a fairly straight line: first the market, then what AI is actually useful for, then what Webot plans to build.　　What the market is doing now　　Modern Mining kept the price discussion grounded. Bitcoin had been stuck for months and then finally moved higher. He did not rule out a short-term pullback, and he also did not sound finished with Bitcoin.　　Hua went a step further. The market is getting more mature,

Bitcoin September forecast maps $81,319 target after 24% rally

Bitcoin traded near $77,700 today, Aug. 31, putting the largest crypto asset up about 23.5% over 30 days. CryptoSlates market signal registered a bullish 68 out of 100 after a late-week pullback. The score measures trailing market conditions.　　CryptoSlate published its latest Bitcoin September forecast at the Aug. 30 close. The model used a $77,667 reference price and produced an $81,319 median for Sep. 29. The projected gain is about 4.7%, compared with Bitcoins 23.5% advance during the preceding month.　　Actual daily closes run from $62,813.75 on Jul 31, 2026 to the $77,667.57 reference close on Aug 30, 2026. The projected median and 50%, 80% and 95% predictive bands then extend to Sep 29, 2026; exact terminal scenarios are listed beside the chart.　　Measured from the reference close, the models median adds about $3,651. The central forecast therefore preserves additional upside into late September at a much slower pace after the August rebound.　　The model also maps a broad distribution of possible September prices. Its P80 estimate, the 80th-percentile point in that distribution, was $91,049. Its P20 estimate, the 20th-percentile point, was $72,502. The labels identify relative positions in the modeled distribution, with P80 marking the upper estimate and P20 marking the lower estimate.　　The
