<p>On the daily chart, the price has been rallying consistently over the past few days, following its rebound from $60K. With BTC also being above the 200-day moving average, which is located around the $64K level, the market can be considered bullish once again.</p>
<p>Therefore, it might only be a matter of time before BTC breaks above the $69K resistance level and climbs its way toward a new record high.</p>

<p>The 4-hour chart also demonstrates clear bullish price action, with the market consistently making higher highs and lows. However, a worrying signal is emerging, as the RSI shows a clear bearish divergence between the two recent price highs.</p>
<p>If the market fails to break above the $69K resistance zone soon, a correction toward the $64K level would be probable.</p>

<h3 id="b-bitcoin-open-interest-b"><b>Bitcoin Open Interest</b></h3>
<p>Bitcoin’s price seems determined to create a new all-time high in the coming weeks, as it’s approaching the $70K level with momentum. Meanwhile, optimism is also going through the roof as investors expect a new long-term rally to begin.</p>
<p>This chart demonstrates the Bitcoin open interest metric, which measures the number of open perpetual futures contracts. It’s a proxy for futures market sentiment, showing aggregate participation and optimism.</p>
<p>As seen, the open interest even leads the price, as it has already shown higher values over the past couple of years. While participation is necessary for a bull market, too much optimism might lead to an overheated futures market and, consequently, a long liquidation cascade, which would ultimately result in a crash.</p>
