Bitcoin’s (BTC) price rose toward the $26,800 territory on Friday, as markets reacted positively to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data published on Sept 13. On-chain analysis examines if the bulls can sustain the price rally and push for $30,000.
Investors often shift capital from the markets when an asset’s price declines. However, a contrarian trend has emerged over the past two weeks in the Bitcoin derivatives markets.
Speculative Traders Have Pumped in $650 Million into the Bitcoin Derivatives Markets
Between September 1 and September 15, BTC’s Open Interest price has increased by $640 million. Meanwhile, the chart below depicts that before the CPI data published on September 13, the BTC price had declined by up to 8% since losing $27,100 support on August 31.
Open Interest sums up the total value of active derivatives contracts for an asset. An uptrend in Open Interest is a bullish signal, indicating that traders are increasing their capital inflows.
Hence, this growing demand and investor participation in the Bitcoin market could potentially propel BTC into a prolonged price rally.
