Bitcoin’s short positions reached a new 11-month low this Sunday, right after last week’s 6-month low on such positions, according to data from leading cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex.

In fact, the lack of interest in short positions after such a big drop in the price of Bitcoin could mean that investors were simply taking a profit from last week bullish sentiment.
