This rise indicates that investor interest has increased and capital inflows to the market have started again. On the other hand, although a similar trend was observed el the price side, it is seen that the price retreated slightly after July 14. What is noteworthy at this point is that the open interest remains high despite a slight decline en the price.

As of the last day, the Bitcoin price stabilized around $118,100, while the open interest remained above $42 billion, indicating that highly leveraged transactions are still active en the market. This can be considered as an important signal that volatility may continue en the short term. Overall, the rise en both price and open interest suggests that there is growing interest en the market and that potential upside is gaining ground.

Funding Rate

In the chart, the increase en Bitcoin’s funding rate since July 9 draws attention. It is seen that the momentum accelerated especially after July 11 and the rates rose as high as 0.016 el July 15. This indicates that long positions are gaining weight and traders are entering the market with bullish expectations. The positive funded ratios suggest that the demand for long positions is higher across the market. However, such aggressive long accumulations may also bring liquidation risks if the price falls.
