Bitcoin Surges Past $93K as Bulls Defend $92.5K Support Amid Rising Leverage

  • Open Interest surged $10B, increasing the risk of liquidations.
  • $92.5K level is crucial for short-term sentiment and trend confirmation.

Bitcoin is priced at $93,475.14 at press time after fluctuating between $91.17K and $93.47K over the past 24 hours. The cryptocurrency now hovers just above the Short-Term Realized Price of $92,500, which analysts view as pivotal.

Market sentiment has stayed steady despite recent gains, but the direction remains uncertain. Analysts say that maintaining this level may trigger further bullish action. Bears may regain momentum if the price slips below and push prices downward.

Bitcoin Short-Term/ Long-Term Realized Cap Impulse

On-chain metrics reinforce the importance of the current zone. The Short-Term and Long-Term Realized Cap Impulse metrics have identified this level as a strong support area. 

These indicators track cost-basis movements of Bitcoin holders and suggest that both recent buyers and long-term holders are aligned in this zone. Analysts believe several days of sideways movement may be required to determine the next trend.

High Leverage Raises Risk of Liquidations

Recent data shows a sharp increase in Open Interest, rising by over $10 billion in just a few days. This suggests that traders take larger positions, with high exposure in both long and short directions. Market experts note that this surge in leverage heightens the risk of sudden liquidations if price swings sharply.

The high Open Interest indicates that speculative activity is accelerating. With more money on the line, price movements may become more volatile. Traders have been closely watching the $92.5K level, viewing it as a battleground between bullish and bearish positions. 

Trading Volume Confirms Increased Market Activity

Daily trading volume has reached $51.12 billion, confirming strong market participation. According to market data, this is one of the highest trading volumes recorded in recent weeks. The sharp rise in volume signals increased engagement from both institutional and retail traders.

This active participation may fuel the current rally and contribute to greater uncertainty. Market observers say that higher volume usually precedes key market moves. Whether Bitcoin continues upward or reverses depends heavily on how long it can stay above the $92.5K mark. Until a breakout or breakdown occurs, traders are likely to remain cautious.
