Previously, Rekt had mentioned that the $930 billion market cap retest would result in a breakout of more than $1 trillion in May. So now the old resistance has turned into support. Furthermore BTC, that was the main one dominant assets in the market can also rise.

Opportunity still opens

From the four-hour chart, it may seem that the analyst had a solid point thanks to the Know Sure Thing Indicator (KST). As an indicator used to determine potential entry and exit points, the KST had passed above the zero line at the time of writing.

Usually this means a positive momentum shift. And it could be a buy signal as BTC price failed to reach higher highs and KST lower highs.

A look at the Bollinger Bands (BB) revealed that BTC’s volatility had remained extreme. However, this did not translate into unexpected price fluctuations.

Also, the price of BTC at USD 31,040 failed to touch the lower or upper band. Therefore, this suggested that the coin was neither oversold nor overbought.

In addition, it emerged that much of the market believes the BTC rally above $31,000 was almost there. This was because the funding ratio remained at 0.01%.

Funding percentage and OI match

Typically, the funding rate represents the difference between the market price for perpetual futures and the spot price. Negative readings mean that short traders pay a financing fee on the long side.

But since Bitcoin’s funding rate was positive, it suggested a bullish bias and long traders paid shorts to hold their position. also the ask because BTC could stay at a high later on because of the Open Interest (OI).

The OI is the total number of outstanding futures contracts in the market, deducted from the closed positions. At the time of writing, the OI was 7.5 billion, the highest value since the start of the new year. This situation means that new money entered the market.

And if liquidity increases, Bitcoin’s market cap could rise as the price tracks in a similar direction.
