Why Bitcoin’s market right now is more bullish than otherwise
Bitcoin has maintained itself well above $47.5k since 20 August. As its price broke above the critical $48k barrier, many from the community saw the path beyond $50k clearly. Since the king coin still has a few resistance levels to break before it can oscillate above $50k, the spot market is somewhat cautious of its moves.
With BTC facing resistance at $49k, trade volumes in the spot market showed no major spikes. However, the Options volume peaked on 20 August – An almost 40% jump.
OI trends usually highlight spikes just before the date of expiry or sometime prior to them and have been incremental after each expiry.
Thus, while bears anticipate BTC’s price to go below $44,000, bulls need a strong push above $50,000 to stay in the game. However, the expiry of contracts on 27 August could push Bitcoin’s volumes, inducing more market momentum. This will be of key importance in maintaining the rally.
