Bitcoin Metrics Demand BTC Price Gains As Analysis Calls For Near-Term Caution!

Rare signals coming from derivatives markets echo the start of previous Bitcoin price run-ups, but a bearish retest of support could come first, says Decentrader.

Bitcoin (BTC) has a “possibility” of winning back more lost ground this month, but a retest of $40,000 may test bulls beforehand.

In its latest market update on Feb. 11, trading suite Decentrader voiced cautious optimism over BTC price action.

Derivatives turn complementary
After rallying above $45,500 on the back of United States economic data, BTC/USD has since dropped back into the range that has defined it this week.

For Decentrader, the chances of a low-timeframe decline are there, even if on-chain metrics are putting in rare bull signals.

“Bitcoin is at a relatively neutral level with clear zones of resistance and support above and below,” the update summarized.

Acting in bulls’ favor is sentiment, now in “neutral” rather than “fear” territory, and encouraging signs from derivatives markets — low funding rates and a negative long/short ratio.

“We have now finally had a sustained period of negative funding rates, seen OI [open interest] drop over time, and importantly, saw Long/Shorts ratio go negative,” Decentrader continued.

An accompanying chart showed that under such rare circumstances, BTC/USD has gone on to rally three times since late 2020.

Moving to the forecast, a downturn could produce a rebound at $39,000 should bulls not be too shaken by the $40,000 mark being broken.

“To the upside, there are resistance levels on either side of the important point of breakdown from the summer crash at $47,950 and $52,660,” the update added.

What is a Bid-Offer Spread and a Spread?

The difference between the prices to buy (offer) and sell (bid) an asset is called the spread. When trading CFDs, the spread is important because it is how the prices of both derivatives are set. Spreads are a common way for brokers, market makers, and other sellers to show their prices. This means that the price to buy an asset will always be a little bit higher than the underlying market. The price to sell will always be a little less than the price to buy. Spread is a financial term that can mean different things, but it always refers to the difference between two prices or rates. For example, an option spread is a way to trade that involves this. The way to do this is to buy and sell the same number of options with different strike prices and expiration dates. Bid-Offer Difference The spread that is added to the price of an asset is also called the bid-offer spread or the bid-ask spread. Bid-offer spread shows how much people want an asset and how much they are willing to pay for i...
