Bitcoin Surges Above $88,000 Amid Record $32 Billion Open Interest
Bitcoin has rebounded, trading above $88,000 for the first time in weeks, currently at approximately $88,025, marking a 6.2% increase over the past week.
This uptrend follows volatility with resistance below $85,000. Analysts note several factors influencing Bitcoin's direction:
- A surge in leverage suggests derivative traders are impacting price movements.
- Open Interest (OI) has hit a record high above $32 billion, indicating increased activity in derivative contracts.
- High OI with rising prices may signal bullish sentiment but poses risks of liquidation if market conditions reverse.
Analyst IT Tech warns of potential liquidation cascades if bulls lose momentum. Monitoring OI and price shifts is crucial.
