Key Points
- Bitcoin (BTC) has entered a historic “shopping area,” hinting at a potential price rebound.
- Despite U.S. investors buying BTC, derivative traders are selling, which may hinder the expected rally.
Bitcoin, also known as BTC, has crossed into a significant zone referred to as a “shopping area”.
This move suggests that a price rebound could be on the horizon.
Interestingly, U.S. investors have begun buying BTC in this region, while derivative traders seem to be selling.
This dynamic could potentially impact the expected price rally.
U.S. Investors Accumulating BTC
Recent data from CryptoQuant indicates that BTC has entered what is known as a historic shopping area on the chart.
This area is typically seen when BTC experiences a price drop of 15 to 20%, a decline it has recently recorded.
These levels are characterized as shopping areas because they show two major activities: accumulation of BTC by market participants and investors capitalizing on price drops.
At present, U.S. investors are taking advantage of this drop and have begun accumulating the asset.
Derivative Traders Betting Against BTC
On the other hand, derivative traders seem to be betting against BTC.
The current Bitcoin Funding Rate across cryptocurrency exchanges has seen a significant drop, indicating that sellers are paying a premium to maintain their positions in anticipation of further price declines.
The Taker Buy/Sell Ratio, used to determine whether buying or selling volume is dominating, shows that sellers are in control.
This selling pressure could pose a minor setback to BTC’s rally.
However, if other key indicators turn bullish, sellers in the derivative market could get liquidated as the asset moves higher.
