 <p class="paragraph">Bitcoin (BTC) and most of the top <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currencies experienced a price retracement earlier this week. With a momentary sentiment shift from bullish to bearish, short positions increased in the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency market.</p>
 <div></div>
 <p class="paragraph">In this context, Finbold retrieved data from <em>CoinGlass’s</em> long/short ratio on December 12. Interestingly, two <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currencies could face an imminent short <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="squeeze" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/squeeze.html">squeeze</a>, driving prices upwards amid the shifting market movements.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Particularly, Uniswap (UNI) and Aave (AAVE) have seen a relevant increase in the opened short positions in the last 12 and 24 hours. Both are among the most popular decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols with multi-chain support.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-short-squeeze-alert-for-uniswap-uni">Short squeeze alert for Uniswap (UNI)</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Uniswap has the most relevant short-sellers volume and short position weight against the opened long positions. In the 12-hour time frame, UNI registers $39.14 million shorts over the $32.83 million longs, for 54.39% of the former.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">However, its overall relevancy is mostly in the 24-hour period, with $113.58 million shorts (52.77%) opened. This is almost the same amount as its daily exchange volume of $141.21 million, according to <em>CoinMarketCap</em>.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Therefore, a sentiment shift on Uniswap could trigger a massive short <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="squeeze" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/squeeze.html">squeeze</a> on UNI, considering its current liquidity.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="will-aave-aave-face-a-short-squeeze">Will Aave (AAVE) face a short squeeze?</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">In the meantime, the Aave Protocol is also being targeted by cryptocurrency short-sellers. Its token AAVE has $28.21 million, and $75.03 million short positions opened in the last 12 and 24 hours, respectively. Interestingly, this means a 54.29% and 53.10% respective dominance against longs.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Despite having a higher weight on its long/short ratio, a short <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="squeeze" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/squeeze.html">squeeze</a> for AAVE would probably have a lower impact on price than UNI’s. This is due to a higher 24-hour exchange volume of $122.16 million in comparison with the daily shorted positions.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">At the time of publication, Uniswap and Aave are trading at $6.2 and $91.76 per token, respectively.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, cryptocurrency traders are eagerly expecting an altseason, which both digital assets could help trigger after a short squeeze, which occurs when these bearish positions get liquidated, facing a surge in demand and price. The increased demand causes a high volume of buy orders to liquidate exchange books, pumping the price and triggering derivative contracts for liquidation, driving the price even further.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">All things considered, there are no guarantees that such an event will happen with these cryptocurrencies.</p>
