Mon, 21 Oct 2024, 20:52 pm UTC

"BTCUSD Soars: Will $70K Be Within Reach? Bullish Momentum Builds!"

QuoteQ

Potential reversal zone- $52530.

BTCUSD pared some of its gains due to profit booking. It hit a high of $69498 yesterday and is currently trading at around $67275.

BTC OI

Bitcoin's derivatives open interest has soared to an unprecedented $40.5 billion, coinciding with the cryptocurrency's price nearing the $70,000 mark. This surge highlights substantial market involvement and suggests the potential for increased volatility.

Whale Wallets-

As of mid-October 2024, new large Bitcoin wallets hold about 1.97 million BTC, making up around 9.3% of all Bitcoin available. This is an incredible 813% increase since the start of the year. Recently, a long-unused wallet with 25 BTC, worth about $1.71 million, was reactivated after being inactive for over ten years. This happened when Bitcoin's price was close to $69,000, showing continued interest and possible market ups and downs.

Last week, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs received a significant inflow of $2.13 billion, with Blackrock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) contributing $1.14 billion. This shows that more investors are interested in Bitcoin, especially through regulated investment options.

Key Points:

  • Total Inflows: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs gained $2.13 billion.
  • BlackRock's Role: BlackRock's IBIT was the main contributor, adding $1.14 billion, showing strong interest and confidence in Bitcoin from big investors.
