Bitcoin kicks off new quarter in the old $82,000-$85,000 price range
In this news:
Key takeaways
- Bitcoin is trading within its established $82,000 to $85,000 price range at the start of the new quarter.
- Altcoins show selective gains with Stacks rising 25% over a 24-hour period.
- Derivatives data reveal stable funding and a jump in the 24-hour call-to-put ratio in favour of calls.
“Absorbing the 1.39M BTC breakeven supply (which sits between $84,000 and $86,500) requires the BAER to recover toward 5.0x (~$190 million/day),” they said.
Alex Kuptsikevich, chief analyst at The FxPro, focused on macro factors.
“The persistence of the bond sell-off is a very worrying sign, capable of triggering a sell-off across all markets almost overnight. It is easy to find periods in history when turmoil in traditional finance has benefited crypto. Still, it is impossible to predict when the market will shift from caution to panic,” he said in an email.
In the meantime, smaller coins like Bitcoin Layer 2 network Stacks’ STX token are chalking out impressive gains. The token has risen by 25% in 24 hours. Several others like LIT, JST and ENA have risen by over 5%.
The broader altcoin story still remains selective. The CoinDesk DeFi Select Index is the only one up 1% in 24 hours. The Computing Select and CoinDesk 80 Indexes are up 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, while the rest are slightly down.
Derivatives positioning
BTC Open interest eased to $20.9B from $21.8B, and funding held broadly stable near 3% annualized across venues. The exception is the term structure: the 3-month annualized basis on Deribit picked up from under 5% to over 6%, a mild steepening that points to firmer demand for leveraged longs.
Options 24-hour call/put ratio jumping to 83% in favour of calls (from 66/34). The 1-week delta skew eased to ~4% from ~15%, and the ATM term structure stays in contango but a touch lower - front end ~29.5%, long end ~40% out to mid-2027.
A calm vol regime: heavy call flow, but little premium being paid for the upside. Coinglass data shows $100 million in 24 hour liquidations, with a 50-50 split between longs and shorts. BTC (100 million), ETH ($51 million) and Others ($26 million) were the leaders in terms of notional liquidations.
Binance liquidation heatmap indicates $84,800 as a core liquidation level to monitor, in case of a price rise.
