Analysis: The Iran situation combined with short squeeze has led to the recent rise in CRCL.
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Circle (CRCL) stock price rose 9.7% on Monday, with a total increase of 86% over the past month. Analysts say that the escalation of the Iran situation has caused crude oil prices to rise about 35% since February 28, intensifying inflation expectations and possibly forcing the Federal Reserve to delay interest rate cuts. Since stablecoin issuers earn returns by investing in US dollars, a high-interest-rate environment is generally favorable for them.
Additionally, Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, stated that the recent surge was also influenced by trader positioning, as hedge funds accumulated large short positions before earnings reports. The company’s solid Q4 performance triggered a high probability of short covering. Currently, Circle’s short positions account for about 13% of the circulating shares. (CoinDesk)
