A short squeeze happens when the price of an asset sharply increases due to a lot of short sellers being forced out of their positions.
What Is a Short Squeeze? | Binance Academy
Shorting (or short selling) means selling an asset in the hopes of rebuying it later at a lower price.
What Is Shorting in the Financial Markets? | Binance Academy
A short squeeze can be described as a sudden price increase. When it occurs, many short sellers get “trapped” and quickly rush to the exit to try and cover their positions.

A bear market can be described as a period of declining prices in a financial market. Bear markets can be extremely risky and difficult to trade for inexperienced traders.

When a trader says they are bullish on a market, it means that they expect prices to rise. When they are bearish, they expect prices to decline.

While volatility might be decreasing on the macro level, Bitcoin has been priced in a free market from its inception. This means that the price is mostly self-regulated on the open market by users, traders, and speculators. Combine that with relatively low liquidity, and Bitcoin is likely to be more exposed to sudden spikes of volatility than other assets. So the model may not be able to account for this either.
Bitcoin and the Stock to Flow Model | Binance Academy
Stock to Flow relies on the assumption that scarcity, as measured by the model, should drive value. According to critics of Stock to Flow, this model fails if Bitcoin doesn’t have any other useful qualities other than supply scarcity
Bitcoin and the Stock to Flow Model | Binance Academy
The model essentially treats bitcoins comparably to scarce commodities, like gold or silver.
Bitcoin and the Stock to Flow Model | Binance Academy
scarcity alone doesn’t necessarily mean that a resource should be valuable. Gold, for example, isn’t all that rare – after all, there are 190,000 tons available! The Stock to Flow ratio suggests that it’s valuable because annual production compared to the existing stock is relatively small and constant.
Bitcoin and the Stock to Flow Model | Binance Academy
The higher the Stock to Flow ratio, the less new supply enters the market relative to the total supply. As such, an asset with a higher Stock to Flow ratio should, in theory, retain its value well over the long-term.

It essentially shows how much supply enters the market each year for a given resource relative to the total supply.
Bitcoin and the Stock to Flow Model | Binance Academy
the Stock to Flow (SF or S2F) model is a way to measure the abundance of a particular resource. The Stock to Flow ratio is the amount of a resource held in reserves divided by the amount it is produced annually.

Some identify front running as a flaw in this model. Front running occurs in markets when an insider is aware of a pending transaction and uses that information to place a trade before the transaction is processed. The front runner, therefore, benefits from information not known to the public. Generally speaking, this is illegal.

The common theme among them is that orders are executed on-chain (with smart contracts) and that users do not sacrifice custody of their funds at any point.

Market value, otherwise known as market cap, is simply the total supply of coins multiplied by the current market price. Realized value, on the other hand, discounts for coins lost in inaccessible wallets.

network value-to-transaction ratio has been called the "price-to-earnings ratio of the crypto world." In simple terms, it involves dividing the market capitalization (or network value) by the amount transacted (typically on a daily chart).
A Guide to Cryptocurrency Fundamental Analysis | Binance Academy
Market capitalization (or network value) is calculated by multiplying the circulating supply with the current price. Essentially, it represents the hypothetical cost to buy every single available unit of the crypto asset (assuming no slippage).

But an increase over time can also point to growing interest in mining, likely as a result of cheap overheads and higher profits. Conversely, a decrease in hash rate points to miners going offline ("miner capitulation") as it's no longer profitable for them to secure the network.

Hash rate is often used as a measure of network health in Proof of Work cryptocurrencies. The higher the hash rate, the more difficult it is to successfully mount a 51% attack.

As a simple rule, the more volatile the assets are in the pool, the more likely it is that you can be exposed to impermanent loss
Impermanent Loss Explained | Binance Academy
Impermanent loss happens no matter which direction the price changes. The only thing impermanent loss cares about is the price ratio relative to the time of deposit.

AMMs don’t have order books. What determines the price of the assets in the pool is the ratio between them in the pool
Impermanent Loss Explained | Binance Academy
Impermanent loss happens when the price of your tokens changes compared to when you deposited them in the pool. The larger the change is, the bigger the loss.
Impermanent Loss Explained | Binance Academy
With that said, impermanent loss isn’t a great way to name this phenomenon. “Impermanence” assumes that if the assets revert to the prices where they were originally deposited, the losses are mitigated. However, if you withdraw your funds at a different price ratio than when you deposited them, the losses are very much permanent. In some cases, the trading fees might mitigate the losses, but it’s still important to consider the risks.

Due to the way AMMs work, the more liquidity there is in the pool, the less slippage large orders may incur. That, in turn, may attract more volume to the platform, and so on.
