Bitcoin [BTC] Price Inks $10,000, Again. Bulls Aim for High at FOMO
Bitcoin [BTC] broke closes above $10,000 on Thursday with a 9.11% rise. The futures price of Bitcoin at CME reached a high at $10,220. The price are back in contango with over $200 premium for June futures prices.
On a daily scale, it broke above the parallel ascending channel it has been forming since the crash 7 weeks ago. BTC is now en-route 7th consecutive positive weekly close.
The nearest target for the rise now stands at the yearly high at $10,550. The area above $10,500-$11,500 is expected to provide resistance until break-out 2019 high at $14,000.
Where Will FOMO Begin?
The RSI on the daily scale has reached the over-bought region at 80, signalling the beginning of FOMO. However, the Open Interest on BitMEX is significantly down after the ‘Black Thursday’ crash. Derivatives trader, Alex tweeted,
Last time $BTC was around $10,000, in February, aggregated open interest was 65% higher and Bitmex $XBT funding was 10 times higher, ticking at a approximately 100% annualized. Leverage in the crypto ecosystem is much lower this time around.
Hence, with a lower leverage, the markets can expect a more organic price action. Moreover, he also notes that it builds up a larger room to the upside before buying FOMO begins, and the correction will be organic as well.
The Open Interest on Okex and BitMEX is $780 and $730 million, respectively. The basis and funding rate on Okex is slightly positive around $3-5 and 0.05%, respectively. The funding rate on BitMEX, on the hand, continues to be slightly negative according to the Neobutane indicator.
The halving is due on Monday around 5: 00 hours UTC, which builds up to another reason for a pullback from the sell-off after the event. Nevertheless, it will take a week or two for the miners to adapt to the change in reward, and the markets can expect huge volatility in the coming weeks.
