Bitcoin is gearing up to revisit the $65,000 price level amidst recent price fluctuations over the past day. Two prominent metrics suggest that a potential rally could be on the horizon for Bitcoin. A crypto analyst highlighted on social media that the Bitcoin funding rate and basis point towards an upcoming positive trend.<\/p>\n
A widely-followed crypto analyst, Will Clemente, pointed out on social media that both the funding rate and the 3-month annualized basis for Bitcoin are showing signs of stabilization after briefly dipping into negative territory in recent weeks. This indicates a growing preference for long positions in the asset as investors rekindle their optimism in its future price movements.<\/p>\n
A closer look at the data shared by Clemente reveals that the funding rate had been fluctuating in negative territory since late April, hitting its lowest point on April 22. However, a recent uptick in Bitcoin’s price has pushed the funding rate back into positive territory. As per Coinglass data, the BTC funding rate has climbed from -0.0050% on May 4 to the current 0.0090%. Notably, this rise in the funding rate correlated with a price surge for Bitcoin, reaching $64,000 on May 5. <\/p>\n
Although the funding rate may appear modest, it signifies a shift in investor sentiment towards positivity. A rise in the funding rate implies that traders with long positions are willing to pay a funding fee to those with short positions. An uptick in this rate indicates a stronger inclination towards maintaining long positions, potentially leading to a price increase for the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n
Similarly, Clemente observed that the 3-month annualized rate for Bitcoin is now showing signs of an upward trend. This implies that more investors are inclined to purchase spot Bitcoin while simultaneously selling a futures contract expiring in three months. Currently ranging between 5% to 10% on platforms like Binance and Bybit, this annualized rate is generally viewed as a bullish signal by many investors.<\/p>\n
The resurgence in the total supply of stablecoins suggests that investors are preparing to allocate funds into Bitcoin. On-chain data indicates that wallets holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC have increased their buying activity over the past two months.<\/p>\n
Despite the market correction in April, these addresses continued accumulating more Bitcoins. Analyst Willy Woo highlighted that such substantial accumulation within a 2-month timeframe has not been witnessed among \u201chigh net worth Bitcoin holders\u201d previously.<\/p>\n
