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...

TRADING SHOULD BE VIEWED AS A BUSINESS.

Traders, like every other business owner, must be disciplined. A written trading plan is an essential first step. Set up your own accounting system to track your trading results and compare them to the ones provided by your broker. All you need is a basic Excel spreadsheet with results for each day, week, and month. Include gross profit/loss, the number of trades, commission expenses, ECN fees, other costs, net profit/loss, equity (confirm that it corresponds to brokerage reports), and any other pertinent information. Use this information to make better trades. Look for trends in your performance and the relationship between your profits and costs. Your trading plan should include a list of all the different sorts of trading you want to undertake over the day or week. Successful traders do not simply open their charts and start trading. Before deciding to assault, they planned for everything that may go wrong. The most important thing to do is to plan ahead of time. For me, Sunday mark...

The Concentration of the Federal Reserve on the Labor Market

During his talk at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC, on November 30, Federal Reserve (Fed) President Jerome Powell signaled a modest increase in the US basic interest rate as a choice for the next FOMC meeting on December 14. This will take place on December 14. After four meetings in a row with hikes of 75 basis points each, expectations have now converged on an increase of only 50 basis points this time. The basic rate would finish the year in the range of 4.25% to 4.5% per annum, having begun the year at a level very close to zero in March of that year. On the other hand, Powell remarked that inflation in the United States is still at a high level. He gave an estimate that stated that inflation in personal consumer spending had been running at a rate of 6% per year up until the month of October. In order to reduce inflation down to 2% on an annual basis, interest rates will need to be raised to more restrictive levels. It was noted that there is still more terr...
