Bitcoin Sees Rise in Open Interest
The bears have managed to break BTC’s crucial support fo $8700 levels. While investors are closely watching is behavior for the next support levels, BTC is getting huge open interest.
This open interest suggests the underlying bullishness and can trigger the next bull run according to some analysts. Crypto expert and analyst Mr. Anderson expects a big move ahead for the cryptocurrency. He said:
“$BTC Open Interest: Don’t fall asleep and Don’t blink! Open Interest tells me that someone will light a match to some Rocket Fuel soon. Liquidations are coming soon”.
Another popular crypto analyst Cantering Clark that the bulls have been aggressively buying at each Bitcoin price drop. He adds that this shows wider support for Bitcoin than expected.
“1/1- I get the impression that much of this open interest increase is attributed to aggressive bulls, it would seem as though they are buying every dip. Premium supports that thesis. If that be the case I doubt our local support is more than butter,” added Clark.
It remains to be seen as to who among the two – bears or bulls – dominate in the coming times.
It is not just Bitcoin but the overall crypto market which is on downtrend today. Almost all of the top ten cryptocurrencies are facing downward pressure. Once cryptocurrency which has managed to surprise us all is Tezos.
