Share This Post

Bitcoin recent price movement of continuous uptrend has drawn the attention of market participants and analysts as it edges closer to creating a new all-time high, blasting through critical resistance levels.

Amid this, a CryptoQuant analyst known as TraderOasis provided an in-depth analysis of Bitcoin’s market earlier today, suggesting the trajectory the asset could head to next.

Analysis On Bitcoin

Oasis explained that his previously outlined bullish scenario for the Range 0.5 structure had played out successfully, emphasizing the importance of Bitcoin’s previous all-time high (ATH) level as potential support.

This level, represented by the blue line in his chart analysis (shown above), could be a critical marker for Bitcoin’s next phase, the analyst reveals.

The analyst also highlighted the significance of the Coinbase Premium Index, which often indicates strong buying demand on Coinbase relative to other exchanges.

Oasis noted that the bullish shift in this indicator was accompanied by an upward price move, marking an important resistance zone that Bitcoin needs to overcome to sustain its momentum.

Furthermore, he pointed out that the open interest indicator, which tracks the total number of outstanding derivative contracts, was moving alongside the price.

According to him, this is a positive signal indicating that market participation remains strong without signs of instability or excessive leverage.

Rising Funding Rates And Exchange Netflow Observations

TraderOasis also delved into another key metric: funding rates. These rates reflect the cost of holding long positions in perpetual futures contracts and can signal market sentiment.

The analyst observed that funding rates had begun to rise again, suggesting that market participants are increasingly confident about further upward movement.

However, he cautioned that this sentiment had not yet reached extreme levels that could indicate overheating or a potential correction. The analyst mentioned monitoring these levels is essential, as excessive funding rates often signal market tops or heightened volatility.

Another aspect of analysis was the activity observed in exchange netflow for spot exchanges. According to Oasis, a significant sell-off was reflected in this indicator, which measures the net flow of Bitcoin into and out of exchanges.

Given the potential for increased volatility, the analyst interpreted this as a signal to consider taking profits on long trades. This aligns with previous market patterns where high net inflows or outflows often foreshadow shifts in market sentiment and price direction.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin so far appears to have found stability above $75,000 price mark following its latest ATH of $76,872 yesterday. At the time of writing, the asset currently trades for $75,820, up by 0.9% in the past day.
