Cryptocurrency analytics firm Alphractal has released its latest assessment of Bitcoin and Ethereum, highlighting critical trends in trading behavior and leverage positions that could signal impending volatility.

Rise in Short Positions and Potential Volatility

Alphractal notes an increase in short positions in Bitcoin, with liquidation levels clustered above $110,000. With selling pressure prevailing in the market, the firm warns of a possible sharp upward price move designed to liquidate these shorts. "Such a move could create momentary euphoria online," Alphractal said. In the long term, however, most leveraged positions continue to be long, indicating more bullish sentiment among traders.

Comparative Trading Activity: Bitcoin vs Ethereum

Alphractal also revealed stark differences in leveraged trading activity between Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to the firm, whales on Ethereum are twice as likely to engage in long positions compared to retail investors, showing the highest Whale – Retail Delta metric among altcoins. For Bitcoin, the Whale to Retail Delta ratio is significantly lower at 0.18, indicating that interest in long positions among whales is similar to that of retail investors.

Consolidation and Bitcoin Projections

Based on current metrics, Alphractal is predicting a potential consolidation or local top for Bitcoin in the $110,000-$111,000 range. The firm suggests that this price level could act as a magnet for traders positioning themselves for the next significant market move. The analysis also points to a sharp decline in individual interest in Bitcoin, as evidenced by the “Holdings Up to 1 Month” metric, which tracks the amount of Bitcoin held by new short-term holders and is typically associated with moments of peak market enthusiasm.

Alphractal's analysis highlights the importance of trading activity and leveraged positions in understanding potential shifts in the cryptocurrency market. The differences in investor behavior between Bitcoin and Ethereum provide essential insights for predicting possible volatility.
