Azcnews Bitcoin Surges Strongly Right After The Holiday Season

Bitcoin has surged strongly right after the New Year holiday, leading to a simultaneous breakout of Altcoins in the market. This price increase was accompanied by a sharp increase in open interest in the Futures market, reaching nearly $60 billion in just two days. This reflects a sharp increase in trading demand, indicating that investors have returned to the market after the holiday.

The monthly funding rate reached 1.3% – the highest in more than two weeks, although it is still in the neutral range. The indicators of the Bitcoin Futures market have improved significantly, even as the open interest has decreased. This shows that Bitcoin short sellers are cautious, not daring to open more short orders below $95,000, bringing positive expectations to the market.
