Bitcoin dodges ‘sub-$30K liquidity grab’ — Levels to watch now
Bitcoin (BTC) could still crash to $29,000 and lower, but price action is “healthier” than a week ago, the latest research concludes.
In a fresh market update on Friday, analysts at trading suite Decentrader said that BTC price action is finally showing “green shoots of optimism.”
After a difficult week in which BTC/USD dipped to just under $33,000, market analysis is now focusing on the likely outcomes of the rangebound behavior seen over the past few days.
For Decentrader, there is reason to be cautiously optimistic now where there was none a week ago.
“We believe that the current derivatives landscape shift and this extremely negative sentiment backdrop does increase the potential for at least a near-term relief bounce,” analysts summarized.
The reason lies in factors that had previously not fully “reset” as price action declined, notably the structure of derivatives markets. These include open interest declining toward less speculative levels, along with deepending negative funding rates.
As Cointelegraph explained, negative rates correspond to overall market sentiment calling for fresh losses — often perfect conditions for an upward price shift.
“We are now also beginning to see meaningful buyers step in, which is driving a potential change in the higher time frame trend from bearish to bullish,” the market update added about the additional positive pressure on the available BTC supply.
Selling overall, while uncharacteristic of bull markets, hints that those behind it are taking losses.
Going forward, the outlook for support is a bounce zone at $29,650, something tha would itself only come into play should several other areas above $30,000 fail to hold.
