How does short interest in digital currencies affect their price movements?

Can you explain how short interest in digital currencies impacts the price movements of these currencies? I'm curious to know how this factor affects the overall market dynamics and if it can lead to significant price fluctuations.

    Short interest in digital currencies can have a significant impact on their price movements. At BYDFi, we closely monitor short interest as part of our market analysis. When there is a high level of short interest, it indicates that there is a bearish sentiment in the market, which can lead to price declines. Conversely, when there is a low level of short interest or a short squeeze occurs, it can create a bullish sentiment and drive the price up. Understanding the dynamics of short interest is crucial for traders and investors to make informed decisions in the digital currency market.
