Price of bitcoin closes at $69K following a fall $1.3 billion in open interest for Bitcoin

According to data, the price of bitcoin stabilized throughout the weekend. The biggest cryptocurrency had abrupt fluctuations during the previous Wall Street open due to what was called “schizophrenic” job data from the United States. Subsequently, a collapse in altcoins intensified, resulting from market responses to a livestream featuring investor Roaring Kitty, an alias. On Bitstamp, BTC/USD reached local lows of $68,450, while the largest altcoin, Ether, momentarily dropped below $3,600.In part of its most recent update to Telegram channel members, it stated, “It was confusing enough to trigger a risk-off ahead of US inflation numbers and FOMC next Wed.” QCP cited the macro data prints for the following week, which include the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Federal Reserve meeting for interest rate policy decisions. “Subsequent to a Roaring Kitty live broadcast with nearly a million viewers, the price of GME stock plummeted,” the statement went on.The fact that Memecoins and Alts began crashing as well, wiping out nearly $40 billion in market capitalization, was most likely no accident. Despite this, the business believed that local lows for Bitcoin and Ethereum represented “a good opportunity to buy the dip” since future Fed actions might favor riskier assets.

Aiming for critical levels, the research of the cryptocurrency market focused on the monthly open at roughly $67,500 as a level to maintain in the event that weakness persisted.In a recent post on X, well-known trader Crypto Chase stated, “I think a lot of coins are at do or die levels; these are the kinds of trades I like.” “In my opinion, we lose some of the present HTF bullish tilt if we drop all of these levels. BTC with 64–65K would be the last hold on hope prior to devastation.A leverage flush across Ether and Bitcoin offered a possible bright spot. During this flush, Bitcoin lost almost $1.3 billion in open interest. For a total of well over $2B for only BTC & ETH combined, $ETH also lost over $800M,noticed fellow trader Daan Crypto Trades.
