Analysts report that Bitcoin BTC/USD prices may have found a local bottom and are showing signs of stabilization.
What Happened: The exchange’s analysts observed that derivatives market indicators suggest bitcoin’s price could be stabilizing, The Block reported. Last Wednesday, Bitcoin fell below its 120-day range, hitting a low of $53,219.
Observers blamed the German government‘s selling and Mt. Gox creditors.
Since then, the apex crypto has rebounded above $57,000, though daily price volatility spiked. Bitfinex analysts noted that the spread between implied and historical volatility has narrowed by nearly 90%. This indicates that traders expect prices to stabilize.
Additionally, options open interest shows a lack of conviction in either direction, with short-term shorts being flushed out by a slight price uptick on Tuesday. Long-term holders continue to realize profits, while short-term holders are selling at a loss. This has historically led to price rebounds as selling pressure eases.
Why It Matters: The recent stabilization in Bitcoin prices comes as traders have been closely watching macroeconomic factors such as CPI data and comments from Fed chair Jerome Powell.
The approval of Ethereum ETH/USD ETFs for trading and the filing of spot Solana SOL/USD ETFs have been seen as potential catalysts for market movements.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen substantial inflows since Bitcoin dipped below $60,000, shaking off the “dumb money” label. These ETFs saw nearly $300 million in net inflows on Monday, led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust IBIT with $187 million. This influx of capital suggests strong institutional interest, despite recent selling pressures from entities like the German government and the defunct Mt. Gox exchange.
What’s Next: These topics are expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
