Recent data indicates a growing risk appetite for Bitcoin, with a noticeable increase in leverage usage and a rise in new positions being opened by traders.
The Bitcoin Positioning Index recorded an uptick to 40.1, while its 30-day moving average climbed to its highest level in four months.
At the same time, open interest surged by 14.5% during the same period, reflecting new liquidity entering the market, not just liquidating previous positions.
These combined indicators show that the market is shifting towards a risk-on scenario, as traders increasingly rely on leveraged positions.
Moreover, the ongoing uptrend in the moving average reflects a relative stability in building positions, rather than short-term fluctuations.
It's clear that this momentum is different from previous waves that saw a temporary spike without real backing from open contracts, while the current situation indicates a cohesive move supported by actual flows.
However, analysts warn that this trend could weaken if open contracts decline or if the general direction of the indicator reverses, which might signal a start to reducing positions and a decrease in momentum.
This comes at a time when the Bitcoin price hit its highest level in about 11 weeks, surpassing $78,000, reflecting the current bullish momentum in the market.
