Celsius: Why a 30% surge doesn’t mean anything concrete for CEL investors

Celsius [CEL] has been in the news and it has a new update with regards to its hearings. Judges on the company’s bankruptcy lawsuit have allowed for an independent examiner to investigate the case. The examiner will be selected by the United States Trustee’s Office, a Department of Justice institution in charge of bankruptcies.

On a related note, Celsius also put out a tweet on 15 September. The tweet stated that Celsius would continue to engage with the Unsecured Creditors Committee and U.S. Trustee. The company also committed to making meaningful progress in their efforts to maximize value for all their customers. 

Celsius further expects to begin the process soon.

Following the aforementioned situation, CEL surged by 30% in the last 24 hours. Furthermore, its social media presence shot up as well. Over the past 90 days, Celsius’ social media engagements, which at press time stood at 1.2 billion, grew by 31.46%

Although the price witnessed a massive uptick and Celsius became a big part of the conversation socially, causes of concern still loom over CEL.

Another factor that could affect the Celsius token could be the Ethereum [ETH] merge. Celsius, via Twitter, stated that the firm was closely monitoring the Merge. It also stated that the creation of any fork or airdrop would impact the Celsius customer base. 

The Celsius short-squeeze movement also happens to be a red flag for investors. This online movement has been designed to hurt the portfolios of investors that attempted to short their CEL token and gain a profit from the losses of the customers that were affected due to the bankruptcy news.

Traders are advised to proceed with extreme caution when it comes to the CEL token give its volatile nature.
