After a consolidation phase spread over the last few weeks, Bitcoin is trading back above $60,000. With 3% gains in the daily chart, at the time of writing, and 2% profit in the weekly chart BTC still looking for confirmation on its rally.

As it approached its all-time high zone, the funding rate for BTC’s futures market across all exchanges took an explosive jump towards 0.14%. Meaning there are higher incentives to take short positions for investors in this sector.

As the chart below shows, this metric remained relatively low (0.03%) in recent days as Bitcoin’s price moved sideways.

However, after BTC’s upward movement, as has happened in recent months, a large number of short positions were liquidated.

Data from Glassnode, shared by Moskovski Capital CIO Lex Moskovski, indicates that in less than an hour, $163 million were liquidated across all exchange platforms.

Trader Adam Mancini is bullish on Bitcoin’s current price action. Setting support at $53,000, Mancini believes the cryptocurrency has been “coiling up” in its past sideways movement. Losing this level could invalidate Mancini’s theory.

The cryptocurrency has formed a “clean bullish triangle pattern”, as shown in the chart belove. And is targeting $75,000 with an upper target at $95,000. The trader said:

Bitcoin in the process of breaking out of this triangle right now – lets see if it can start the leg up to 75k from here.

In support of the above, former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal said BTC’s price breaking above its 3-month range could be massively bullish for the cryptocurrency. Pal expects the price to “create a powerful move to the upside” towards $80,000.

Kind of feels like a big deal to see BTC break a 3 month range and a wedge. It should create a powerful move to the upside. (Axis scrunched on chart to hint at the upside for dramatic effect. 😉 )#Bitcoin pic.twitter.com/q65CjBn7i6

Bitcoin’s fundamentals support further upside move

Per an ARK Invest research conducted by Yassine Elmandjra, Bitcoin’s rally has strong fundamentals. According to Cointime Destroyed, the metric use to measure BTC coming from cold wallets to exchanges sits at an estimated 30% than from the 2017 bull run.

Despite Bitcoin’s price has almost tripe since that period’s ATH at $20,000, investors are keeping a tight grip on their coins. In that sense, Glassnode co-founder Rafael Schultze-Kraft shared Bitcoin’s 3-month Coind Days Destroyed on a downwards trajectory, he said:

This is beautiful. Experimenting with Coin Days Destroyed: Despite $BTC prices above $50k, 3-month CDD at low levels and recently declining. Old hands extremely strong here, HODLers showing conviction and doing what they do best. Doesn’t look like a top to me.

A literature major, Reynaldo Márquez has been deeply immersed in the crypto industry since 2017. His journey began with translating articles for various crypto news outlets, a role he took on with zeal. In 2018, amidst a challenging market, he embraced his first writing assignment, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the nascent industry and the promise of change it bears for many people worldwide.
In March 2021, he joined the prestigious crypto news outlet NewsBTC and Bitcoinist, where he not only reported on the latest crypto news but also had the privilege of interviewing some of the industry's most influential figures. A year later, his dedication and hard work were recognized, and he was promoted to Managing Editor, a position he currently holds with pride.
He believes in honesty, good communication, hard work, and the power of cryptocurrency and its potential to transform people's lives, especially those alienated by the legacy financial system. Born in 1992 in Venezuela, Reynaldo is familiar with how governments and central banks can negatively affect people, their everyday lives, and their futures by creating inflation and erasing their hopes for a better future. Thus, like many Venezuelans, he embraced this new technology to help him and his family navigate difficult times.
In another life, Reynaldo would have pursued a career as an investigator, most likely tracking down the origins of the Cyberpunk movement with the publication of William Gibson’s ‘Neuromancer.’ The intersection between fiction and reality, with the materialization of Bitcoin in 2009, would have allowed him to dive deep into the crypto sphere as something more than a financial phenomenon but also a cultural shift in society that was brewing since the XX century, and maybe even sooner, in the XIX century with the publication of Henry David Thoreau’s ‘Civil Disobedience.’
But that’s for another life. In this one, Reynaldo has been trading to improve his trading skills. Since 2023, he has been trying to learn Python to create successful strategies and find ways to execute them. It is a difficult task, which continues to keep him busy today and will most likely continue to keep him busy in the near and long term.
In his free time, he enjoys lifting heavy objects, reading, watching movies, and listening to his favorite music. Some of his favorite authors are Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Raymond Carver, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Mario Vargas Llosa, Reinaldo Arenas, Rafael Cadenas, and many others. Lately, he has been primarily interested in reading about dystopic societies, a topic that deeply resonates with the crypto industry.
Since 2023, he has lived in Spain with his wife. He loves the weather, the food, and the people and their culture. They both expect to travel much more within the country they now call home and beyond its border. He hopes to retire with his wife, maybe in a quiet place near a beach, but most likely in a city close to a library and a university with his kids and, hopefully, grandkids.
