Wow, Bitcoin is making waves again! It recently skyrocketed to $75,000, breaking its previous record, and some experts predict it could go higher.
In technical terms, Bitcoin Open Interest (OI) has also hit a new record. OI is basically a way to measure the amount of unfinished business, or open bets, related to Bitcoin. As of right now, it’s a whopping $45.41 billion! That’s a 13.29% jump compared to November 5 when Bitcoin boomed past its old record of $73,800.
Why is OI important? It goes up when Bitcoin buyers open new ‘long’ positions (betting on prices to rise) or sellers open ‘short’ positions (betting on prices to fall) – and it looks like there’s been a whole lot more of these positions being opened than closed lately. In layman’s terms, it looks like traders are thinking Bitcoin won’t be falling back down to $73,679 anytime soon.
At last check, one Bitcoin was going for $75,792, and it seems to be sitting pretty at a good price. This sparked some amazing predictions, like the one from trader Peter Brandt who thinks Bitcoin could hit anywhere from $130k to $150k next August or September.
Is there still room for Bitcoin to grow? Turns out, not everyone’s worried about Bitcoin being too expensive. Crypto analyst Rajat Soni, thinks it’s still early days for Bitcoin, suggesting the exchange of actual money for Bitcoin still makes sense because most people mistakenly believe that their local currencies are backed by something tangible.
Crypto analysis firm, CryptoQuant, mirrors this sentiment, insisting that Bitcoin is not yet “overheated”. They believe being at an all-time high doesn’t automatically mean Bitcoin is overvalued. They also discussed something called the MVRV ratio, which shows how overbought Bitcoin is. When Bitcoin reached its previous record in March, this ratio was around 2.87. Now, it’s at 2.19. So, it’s not even close to the peak levels from earlier this year.
Remember though, all investments come with risks, and this isn’t any different for Bitcoin. Always do your research before making any decisions! But for now, it seems like Bitcoin could be in for some exciting times ahead!
