Short position unwinding is the process where traders who have bet against the price of a digital asset (taken a short position) close their positions by buying back the asset. This action can create significant buying pressure, leading to a rapid price increase, often referred to as a short squeeze. It signals a shift in market expectations from bearish to more neutral or bullish.
