Concurrently, funding rates have reached their highest positive level since August, indicating that the majority of open interest is favoring long positions in Bitcoin.

This upward trend in the derivatives market underscores a bullish sentiment among traders. The increase in funding rates further supports the notion that market participants are optimistic about Bitcoin's future performance, suggesting sustained growth and potential for further price appreciation.
