Isn’t it kinda poetic that Bitcoin broke a brand new all-time excessive on Bitcoin Pizza Day?
For the primary time ever, BTC crossed $110,000, which implies these two legendary pizzas would now be price over $1.1 billion.
That’s weirdly emotional. Idk. Seems like… a full circle second.
So what’s pushing BTC this excessive? A few huge issues.
First, the US signed commerce offers with each China and the UK, which eased international financial tensions that had been weighing down markets (together with crypto).
Commerce wars cool off → danger urge for food goes up → Bitcoin does its factor.
Second, institutional investments continue to grow.
Since final Wednesday, Bitcoin ETFs pulled in one other $2.2 billion in inflows.
Extra demand = extra value strain upward.
And what’s one of the best half? The rally probably isn’t finished but.
We talked about it yesterday, and CryptoQuant contributor Crypto Dan agrees.
He broke it down utilizing a couple of key indicators that assist gauge whether or not the market’s getting overheated – or if there’s nonetheless room to develop.
1/ Funding price
That’s a payment merchants pay once they use leverage within the futures market.
When it’s excessive, it often means everyone seems to be betting on costs going up (aka going lengthy), and the market’s getting overly optimistic.
However proper now, though lengthy positions are growing, the funding price continues to be comparatively low in comparison with earlier bull runs = the futures market isn’t exhibiting the type of overheating that often results in a correction.
2/ Brief-term transaction exercise
This offers a way of how a lot “quick cash” is coming into the market, like new merchants chasing the rally.
And proper now, that exercise isn’t spiking the way in which it did throughout previous all-time highs.
Briefly: momentum is constructing, but it surely’s not being flooded with impulsive merchants (but).
3/ Brief-term holders aren’t panic-selling
Usually, when Bitcoin hits a brand new excessive, heaps of people that purchased not too long ago attempt to take earnings.
However this time? Not a lot. Even the whales are chilling.
So yeah, whereas pullbacks are potential, this run nonetheless feels extra like the center than the tip 🚀
