Bitcoin Breaks $66,000, But Analyst Warns Against Fresh LongsHeres Why

Bitcoin has shown bullish momentum during the past day, but an analyst has pointed out how the asset may be in a high-risk zone now due to the Open Interest trend. Bitcoin Open Interest Has Seen A Rapid Increase Recently As explained by CryptoQuant community manager Maartunn in a new post on X, the Bitcoin Open Interest has just surged to high levels. The “Open Interest” is an indicator that keeps track of the total amount of BTC-related positions currently open on all derivatives exchanges. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Rallies 34%, But Will FOMO End The Rally? When the value of this metric rises, it means the investors are opening up fresh positions on the derivatives market right now. As the overall leverage in the sector increases when this trend occurs, it can lead to higher asset price volatility. On the other hand, the indicator heading down suggests the derivatives contract holders are either closing up positions of their own volition or getting forcibly liquidated by their platform. This kind of trend can lead to more stability for BTC. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Open Interest over the past year: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Open Interest had cooled off to relatively low levels earlier in the month as the asset’s price crashed. With the recovery in the coin, however, the indicator has been noting growth again. The indicator is now high, potentially implying the market has become overleveraged. As mentioned earlier, a high metric value can lead to more volatility for BTC. The reason behind this is that mass liquidation events can become more probable to occur at these levels, making the price act more volatile. On paper, the volatility emerging from an Open Interest increase can take the coin in either direction, but BTC has shown a consistent pattern in the past year. As the analyst has highlighted in the chart, the indicator entering into the same zone as now has generally turned out to be bearish for Bitcoin in this window.

The latest growth in the indicator has also naturally come similarly. “We’re in a high-risk zone, and in my opinion, it’s not the best time for fresh long positions,” notes Maartunn. It remains to be seen how Bitcoin develops in the coming days and if it will hit the top, just like it did during those other instances.

Bitcoin (BTC) On Track For Strongest September Performance, Is $90,000 Next?

Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has led the market recovery with its surge to the $63,000 mark. Following the recent developments, the flagship cryptocurrencys performance has seen an 8% weekly surge, driving BTC to one of its best September performances since its creation. Related Reading: Polygon (MATIC) To Come back From The Dead As Ascending Triangle Appears Bitcoin Registers Sixth Green Daily Candle During the first week of the month, Bitcoin saw its price struggle to keep above the $55,000 mark, plummeting to the $52,000 support zone and raising investors alarms. The rest of the sector followed BTCs lead, dropping 12% to a market capitalization of $1.81 trillion earlier this month. Since then, the market has seen a significant boost, mostly fueled by the US Federal Reserves (Fed) rate cut. Following the Feds announcement, the sector recovered 5%, continuing its ascending trajectory throughout the weekend. Due to the positive market sentiment, crypto investment products ended the week with $321 million in inflows, the second weekly positive net flows in a row. The inflows were led by Bitcoin-based products, which registered $284 million last week, according to the CoinShares report. BTC, propelled also by Kamala Harris recent acknowledgment of the crypto industry, recovered 20% from the monthly lows of September 6. The rebound pushed the cryptocurrencys price toward the $64,000 resistance level, which was last held a month ago. After failing to reclaim the key resistance level, Bitcoins price has been hovering between the $63,000-$63,900 range throughout Monday morning, registering six green daily candles since September 17. Will BTC See Four Green Months In A Row? BTCs recent price action has translated into green numbers in the month-to-date (MTD) timeframe, making September a green month for the cryptocurrency. Coinglass data reveals that the flagship crypto displays a 7.94% return MTD. This performance was noted by some market watchers, who suggest that Bitcoin is on its way to registering its best September so far. In an X post, Crypto Jelle highlighted that BTC is currently on track for the strongest September performance in its history after its current MTD return surpassed that of September 2016. To the analyst, the flagship cryptocurrency is preparing for a promising performance next quarter. Jelle also pointed out that BTC has only closed September with green numbers three times. However, the times this has happened, the cryptocurrencys monthly returns have closed in the green for four months straight. This suggests that Bitcoin may be on the verge of a massive bull run for Q4. Close this month in the green, and the odds are high October, November and December will close green as well. He pointed out that this week will be decision time for the flagship cryptocurrency, as a higher high is within an arms reach. A push above the $65,000 resistance level would flip the narrative and see BTC moving to levels not seen since early August.

Ultimately, the analyst considers that Bitcoin wont trade within this pattern for much longer. As of this writing, the flagship trades at $63,700, a 1.7% and 10% surge in the daily and weekly timeframes. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin Could Reach $108,000 To $155,000 By 2024 End, Analyst Reveals Why

An analyst has explained why Bitcoin could end the year 2024 inside the $108,000 to $155,000 range if history repeats for the asset. Bitcoin Performance Has Been Similar To Last Two Cycles So Far In a new post on X, analyst James Van Straten has discussed about the BTC price performance from the cycle low chart for the last couple of cycles. As its name suggests, this chart captures the price trend between successive cyclical lows. For the latest cycle, the start-point is naturally the bottom that was observed shortly following the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX back in late 2022. Related Reading: Bitcoin Hype Remains Low Even After $63,000 Surge: Green Sign For Rally? Below is the chart shared by Van Straten, which shows how this most recent cycle has stacked against the last two so far: As is visible, the asset’s recent price performance has been remarkably similar to that witnessed in the past two cycles at the same stage. “Out of all the graphs, TA etc, Bitcoin from the cycle low continues to be the most valid,” notes the analyst. Given the similarity so far, it’s possible that the coin’s trajectory in the current cycle may continue to mimic that of the last two. Van Straten has pointed out that both these cycles finished September higher. Not just that, this is also the point at which the two began a long-lasting surge that culminated into the bull run highs. Thus, it’s possible that Bitcoin may also surge from here, if the current cycle continues to follow the last two. “If BTC were to finish EOY between the two previous cycles, which it has done for most of the current cycle, we would be looking at 108k-155k,” explains the analyst. From the latest Bitcoin price, a rally to the lower end of this range, $108,000, would mean an increase of around 70%, while that to the $155,000 upper level would suggest growth of more than 144%. Related Reading: These Altcoins Are Seeing High Whale Interest After Fed Rate Cut As always with patterns that depend on history, though, it’s not necessary that BTC would show a rally in this range to end the year. Nonetheless, the analyst says, “if we don’t get a recession, this is entirely possible.” In some other news, as market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock has pointed out in an X post, Tether’s stablecoin, USDT, has reached a new high in its supply recently. As displayed in the above graph, the the USDT market cap has witnessed some sharp growth recently. With the metric’s value now nearly at $120 billion, Tether’s token has left the other stablecoins way behind. The inflows into the stablecoin can actually be relevant to Bitcoin, as capital from USDT generally tends to find its way into the original cryptocurrency. Thus, the growth to a new record suggests the investors potentially have more dry powder available to buy BTC with than ever before. BTC Price Bitcoin has gone stale after its recent recovery as its price is still trading around the $63,600 mark.

Bitcoin Hype Remains Low Even After $63,000 Surge: Green Sign For Rally?

Data shows the social media users have yet to show excessive hype around the latest Bitcoin rally, a sign that could be positive for its sustainability. Bitcoin Sentiment Ratio Has Spiked, But Value Still Not Too High According to data from the analytics firm Santiment, Bitcoin Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) has remained low through the latest rally. The indicator of relevance here is the “Positive Sentiment vs. Negative Sentiment Ratio,” which, as its name suggests, measures the ratio between the positive and negative comments around BTC being made on the major social media platforms. Related Reading: These Altcoins Are Seeing High Whale Interest After Fed Rate Cut To separate the posts/threads/messages on these platforms between positive and negative, Santiment’s indicator uses a machine-learning model. When the value of this metric is greater than 1, it means the social media users are making more posts expressing a positive sentiment than a negative one. On the other hand, it being under 1 suggests bearish messages are the norm on these platforms. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Positive Sentiment vs. Negative Sentiment Ratio over the last few months: As the above graph shows, this Bitcoin indicator has observed an uplift alongside the latest recovery run in the cryptocurrency’s price. This rally has come as the US Federal Reserve has announced an interest rate cut. The indicator is currently decently above the neutral mark, meaning that positive posts notably outweigh the negative ones. Historically, the asset has tended to move in a direction opposite to what the crowd is expecting, with the probability of the contrary move going up the stronger this expectation becomes. A very bullish market can be a warning sign for the BTC price. Despite the recent surge in sentiment, FOMO is not yet at a level where it would be a problem. The chart shows that the previous spikes in the indicator that occurred around the tops for Bitcoin were of a significantly large scale. The last few months have also seen the indicator generally maintain a positive level, so the metric’s current value isn’t even that out of place when compared to the norm. “Markets can roll until we see a bullish sentiment spike similar to what we saw during the April 19th and May 21st tops,” notes the analytics firm. If FOMO does end up spiking to high levels in the coming days, BTC could encounter another top.
