I think any research will clearly show they do not need BTC to short or go long, it is all cash settlements.

Secondly nearly all the talking heads worth listening to and btc news sites like coindesk ALL agree that there is a HUGE chance it gets shorted to hell.

You do understand that they make just as much by shorting when the price goes down, money on both sides. No NEED to see a price rise to make money.

Just sayin it is a big risk week coming. The Banks/Wall street can short it to $1000 and make a boat load all while buying it up on the way dwn on exchanges thus taking control, it is a real possibility.

Hope I am wrong.
