Speculative interest in Bitcoin has slightly recovered, pushing its value to $88K, but a clear path to sustained recovery is not yet evident.
Current Trends in Bitcoin Market
Speculative interest in Bitcoin has slightly improved, raising its value to $88K. Analytics firm Swissblock, founded by Glassnode, reported that risk aversion has slightly eased. While this reduces the likelihood of a sharp drop, it does not guarantee a market breakout. The renewed interest from long-term holders and the withdrawal of $420M BTC from exchanges indicate a potential market rebound.
Bitcoin's Breakout Prospects
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index supported this outlook by indicating a shift from extreme fear to a neutral level. Swissblock suggested that this low-risk regime could attract new demand and liquidity needed for a potential breakout. Cryp Nuevo, a renowned BTC trader and analyst, shared similar sentiments, noting that a breakout could only be confirmed if BTC reclaimed the $90K mark.
Cautious Stance of Options Market
The Options market appears somewhat cautious, evidenced by the slight premium on put options, indicating a higher demand for downside risk protections. This is highlighted by the 25-delta risk reversal for late March and early April, reinforcing traders' caution for the first half of next month.
Despite improved market sentiment and the rise in Bitcoin's price, market analysts remain cautious. Long-term holdings and fund withdrawals from exchanges signal potential increased interest, but further positive developments are needed for sustained growth.
