Bitcoin (BTC) has delivered gains of 17% in the past month and currently stands at $109,736 as the top crypto has retreated a bit from its fresh all-time high.
Trading volumes have gone up by 20.3% in the past 24 hours after the token neared the $111,000 threshold once again as selling pressure at these key levels is typically higher than the average.
The futures market has been heating up ever since BTC climbed above $90,000 again in late April as reflected by a surge in open interest.
When this metric is expressed in BTC rather than USD, as the latter is distorted by the token’s price fluctuations, we can see that OI has exploded back to record levels and has already surpassed the historical records reached in November when President Donald Trump won the U.S. Presidential election.
This is an indication that traders have a strong bullish bias and believe that the token will continue to rise from its current levels.
Data from CoinGlass shows that OI has surged to almost 716,000 BTC while, on the day that the token rose to its latest all-time high, this figure closed the day slightly above that mark at 718,000 BTC.
Looking at the daily price action, BTC has formed a bearish rising wedge as the price has recovered almost vertically in just a month.
Market sentiment has moved from one extreme to the other during this same period as reflected by the Fear and Greed Index, which bounced from Extreme Fear to Greed in record time.
At this point, traders should be careful not to be the last to enter the rally as a strong correction seems to be in order as every technical signal is flashing overbought.
This is not necessarily bad as the rally needs additional liquidity that it can only find after a steep drop as this gives late buyers the chance to enter the rally at a much lower price.
Momentum is still quite positive and this supports a bullish Bitcoin price prediction with a short-term target set at $140,000 based on how the top crypto have performed in similar rallies lately.
Hence, waiting for a better entry would be a good idea at this point. In the meantime, a new crypto presale called BTC Bull Token (BTCBULL) offers a milestone-based reward system tied to the performance of Bitcoin that will generate passive income for token holders.
BTC Bull Token (BTCBULL) is a fun alternative to earn passive income as Bitcoin reaches new heights.
The rewards system is quite simple. Starting at a baseline price of $100,000, token holders are rewarded via token burns and direct Bitcoin airdrops for every $25K that BTC adds on top of that mark.
The first milestone is set at $125,000, at which point a portion of BTCBULL’s circulating supply will be burned to raise its price.
Next up, once the price gets to $150K, BTCBULL investors will receive a direct Bitcoin airdrop proportional to the number of tokens they have bought.
To buy $BTCBULL before the first reward is unlocked, head to the BTC Bull Token website and connect your wallet (e.g. Best Wallet). You can either swap USDT or ETH for this token or use a bank card to invest.
