Bitcoin (BTC) has surged with bullish momentum since hitting a local low of approximately $40,500 on December 18, triggering optimism among traders and key indicators pointing towards potential further upside.
In the last 24 hours, BTC has climbed by 4.3%, reaching a trading price of $42,930 at the time of reporting. With a market capitalization surpassing $840 billion and a daily trading volume of $26 billion, Bitcoin maintains a robust position in the market.
Market intelligence from Santiment highlights a shift in Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) toward a bullish stance, hovering around the 50 mark. Analysts suggest that for BTC to surpass the $45,000 zone, it’s crucial for the RSI to remain below 65.
Additionally, alongside Bitcoin’s bullish upturn, significant whale activity has emerged. Santiment reports a staggering 114% surge in whale transactions involving at least $100,000 worth of BTC over the past 24 hours. The count escalated from 6,153 to 13,153 unique transactions within a single day.
Observations on Bitcoin’s total open interest (OI) also depict a slight uptick, climbing from $7.07 billion to $7.31 billion according to Santiment’s data.
Delving further into market sentiment, Bitcoin’s Binance funding rate indicates a mild predominance of long-position holders, presently resting at 0.015%. However, the specific balance between long and short positions remains unclear.
While recent reports highlight optimistic trends, some analysts, like Crypto Banter from YouTube, express caution. Banter suggests a potential sizable Bitcoin downturn owing to what he perceives as an unsustainable market. Factors like high leverage rates, excessive enthusiasm for memecoins, and airdrops contribute to this perceived instability.
Despite these concerns, anticipation remains high regarding potential Bitcoin ETF approvals in the United States. Such approvals could signal a bullish trend, especially with trillion-dollar companies expected to enter the crypto industry, further influencing Bitcoin’s trajectory.
