$CleanSpark, Inc.(CLSK)$ $Riot Platforms(RIOT)$ $MARA Holdings(MARA)$ šŸš€šŸ”„šŸ’° The Big 3 Bitcoin Miners: CLSK, RIOT & MARA: Short Squeeze Incoming! šŸ’°šŸ”„šŸš€

I’m watching the Bitcoin miners line up for what could be one of the most explosive short squeezes of 2025, and the setup has the hallmarks of a textbook momentum rotation. Liquidity is rushing back into risk assets and CleanSpark (CLSK), Riot Platforms (RIOT), and Marathon Digital (MARA) are positioned right at the intersection of policy shifts, macro easing, and technical breakouts.

🌐 Macro Tailwinds Are Aligning

Citibank just reaffirmed that Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) momentum is expected to extend through 2026, supported by persistent ETF inflows and expanding institutional adoption. With a 96 % probability of another Fed rate cut this month, macro liquidity is swinging firmly toward risk-on trades. Policy is turning too: Senator Cynthia Lummis is pushing to remove taxes on small BTC transactions, signalling a friendlier U.S. regulatory backdrop.

šŸ“Š The Sector Leaders Are Clear

Year-to-date performance shows how capital is concentrating in this theme:

IREN +472 %

CIFR +262 %

WULF +126 %

RIOT +112 %

CLSK +105 %

HUT +104 %

COIN +50 %

BTBT +28 %

IBIT +26 %

MARA +20 %

Only a handful of names are driving the majority of the upside. These are the ones to watch closely.

🟔 CleanSpark (CLSK): Pattern Trading Breakout

CLSK is emerging from a multi-year descending wedge breakout on the weekly chart. This is a classic pattern trading setup coming out of a doom loop, where prolonged bearish compression gives way to explosive upside as trapped shorts and sidelined capital re-enter.

Price has already broken through the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement at 14.01 USD and reclaimed the 18 USD resistance shelf with strength, signalling early momentum.

šŸŽÆ Target Roadmap

• T1: 22.17 USD → 50 % retracement zone; initial resistance and profit-taking level.

• T2: 26.99 USD → 0.618 Fibonacci level; historically a critical acceleration point for miners.

• T3: 50.88 USD (1.272 Fib) → First major Wave III extension level.

• T4: 74.16 USD (1.414 Fib) → Mid-cycle expansion zone.

• T5: 127.43 USD (1.618 Fib) → Full Wave III extension if momentum mirrors prior cycles.

Elliott Wave counts strongly suggest that Wave III, the most powerful bullish impulsive phase, is likely beginning. Strategically, CLSK is also extending beyond traditional mining. Its CEO is working closely with the Governor of Texas on AI and data centre initiatives, signalling a broader infrastructure narrative that institutional investors are likely to chase once momentum builds.

🟠 Riot Platforms (RIOT): Whales Positioning Early

A 115 million USD dark pool print at 21.99 USD points to stealth institutional accumulation. Monthly Ichimoku signals a ā€œbullish katanaā€ formation, with potential to push into the mid-30s to 40 USD zone if momentum continues.

šŸ”µ Marathon Digital (MARA): Rotation Candidate

MARA remains a laggard but is technically coiling. My near-term target is 42 USD+ as momentum rotates across the sector and MARA plays catch-up.

šŸ“ˆ Technical Lens Across the Big 3

Across all three miners, I’m integrating volume flow, Keltner and Bollinger overlays, support and resistance zones, momentum oscillators, and Fibonacci retracements. CLSK’s 4H chart shows a sharp momentum surge above clustered EMAs, while weekly and monthly structures confirm long basing patterns transitioning into breakouts. Historically, once miners exit their doom loops into Wave III structures, the moves are fast, steep, and brutal for shorts.

šŸ“Œ Why This Moment Matters

• Citibank: BTC and ETH momentum through 2026

• Fed cut probability: 96 %

• Policy tailwinds: Senator Lummis tax proposal

• Wave III impulsive phase likely starting

• Cycle risk minimal: structure points to expansion, not exhaustion

šŸ‘‰ā“ Are you positioned for what could become one of the biggest coordinated short squeezes in the Bitcoin mining sector since 2020?

These are not predictions; they’re probability-weighted frameworks. The tape, the policy backdrop, and the technical structures are aligning, and when that happens, the market rarely whispers. It roars.

    That CLSK setup has me fired up. The way you stacked those Fib targets feels like a perfectly calibrated launch sequence, every level lining up for max impact. If BTC momentum holds and Wave III really starts to rip, this could turn into one of those legendary sector-wide meltups everyone remembers🧃🧃🧃

    The Wave III explanation on CLSK actually clicked for me. Seeing the targets mapped from 22 to 127 like that gave me serious conviction vibes. If the Fed cut hits and policy lines up, those acceleration zones could hit way quicker than most expect

    Have been holding on to Mara at 35 since the last crypto cycle. Hope what you say about Mara at 42 is true

    CLSK still has very low valuation (P/E 9x) and strong momentum. Huge BTC holding and now accelerating in the AI/HPC space. By far the best pick in this space. Could go 3-4x from here.

    šŸ“ˆI’m really liking how you framed CLSK’s breakout as pattern trading coming out of a doom loop. That 0.618 Fib at 26.99 feels like the key inflection. If it clears that, the Wave III extension levels you outlined could catch a lot of people off guard.
