Current data shows growing optimism, backed by a 1.89% rise in open interest, positive taker flow, and funding rates at 0.0045. Bitcoin itself rose nearly 4% to $95,358, while total open interest climbed to $12.18 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adler said the breakout of the 30-day moving average above 3 marks a shift in market positioning after months in a neutral range. He added that this bullish setup would remain intact as long as the index stays above 2 for at least a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market sentiment remains strong as well. The Bitcoin Advanced Sentiment Index peaked at 93% before easing to 70%, still well above the neutral 50% level and its 30-day average of 62.9%. Adler described the pullback as a healthy cooldown rather than a trend reversal. By contrast, December\u2019s drop to $85,000 saw sentiment collapse to 10\u201315%, which he called a structural breakdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>QCP Capital also expects more upside in a continued risk-on environment, pointing to stable inflation, solid equity and metals markets, and supportive macro conditions. While risks remain from geopolitical tensions and a pending U.S. Supreme Court ruling on tariffs, the firm believes much of this is already priced in, and any escalation could offer buying opportunities for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s futures market has moved into a bullish phase for the first time in three months, according to analyst Axel Adler Jr. The Bitcoin Positioning Index&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21\/revisions\/23"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
