Since the start of the Bitcoin rally in mid-October, CME’s OI has increased by 86%. CME’s standard Bitcoin futures contract is worth five BTC and is seen as a barometer of institutional interest in cryptocurrencies.
Overall, the money invested in Bitcoin futures jumped to levels last seen just before the onset of the bear market. The wave of fresh money coming alongside a rise in price was a clear indicator of bullish sentiment.
Whales bullish on BTC?
Whale activity served as another key indicator of Bitcoin’s optimism. AMBCrypto noticed positive values of Hyblock Capital’s Whale vs. Retail Delta indicator. This suggested that whales were opening more longs when compared to retail investors.
