Why Is Bitcoin Price Up Today?

Open Interest is now back to post Grayscale pump levels,” Daan said, additional noting the resilience within the spot premium in the meanwhile, “Longs are comfy as long as spot bid is present.”
Maartuun, the group supervisor at CryptoQuant Netherlands, additionally highlights the fast surge in Open Interest: “Fasten your seat belts. The Open Interest goes bonkers on this break-out attempt. It has increased by $600 million (7%).”

Monthly Close Will Be Crucial
As NewsBTC reported, September is traditionally one of many worst months of the 12 months for the Bitcoin value. However, this 12 months might be completely different if BTC continues its pattern of the previous couple of days.

In easy phrases, an upward wick on a candlestick chart signifies value ranges the place Bitcoin traded throughout a interval however didn’t shut. An extended wick suggests a powerful rejection from these increased value ranges. This may imply that whereas patrons tried to push the value up through the month, by the shut, sellers had introduced it again down, leaving an extended ‘wick’ on the candlestick.
Rekt Capital means that these wicks can prolong as much as +8% past the candle physique. The analyst notes that if the month-to-month candle shut produces an upside wick of +7% past the ~$27,100 degree, it may imply the value would possibly transcend the weekly decrease excessive.
This might be a constructive signal if the month-to-month shut stays above $27,100, indicating it as a help degree. However, if the value closes the month beneath $27,100 after reaching increased ranges, it might verify $27,100 as a brand new resistance, hinting that the latest value motion is likely to be only a non permanent upward rally.
At press time, BTC stood at $27,241.
