Bitcoin Approaches $100,000 as Taker Buy/Sell Ratio Rises to 1.142

Bitcoin is approaching the $100,000 mark, trading at $96,857. It experienced a slight pullback from over $97,000 but has seen a 2.4% increase over the past week.

Key points include:

  • On-chain data shows increased bullish sentiment.
  • The taker buy/sell ratio on Binance spiked to 1.142, indicating aggressive buying behavior.
  • A $200 million Bitcoin outflow from centralized exchanges suggests reduced selling pressure and increased confidence among large holders.
  • Entities active in the futures market during Bitcoin's October rally have re-emerged, indicating potential for further price increases.

Taker buy/sell ratio highlights:

  • Volume of market buy orders exceeds sell orders, reflecting eagerness to enter the market.
  • Order book spikes align with Bitcoin surpassing $96,000.

The return of futures traders may indicate a reopening of leveraged long positions, which could support Bitcoin's ascent towards six figures.
