BTC 4-Hour Chart

Fear and Greed: 78 (Extreme Greed), yesterday 75 (Greed)

Price action: Price currently at 71,180. It has hardly moved today. This sluggish movement today is apparent in the PI and FR. Traders are cautious at the moment and are not getting into spot buying. The only significant buying going on is the US BTC ETF.

Premium Index: PI has increased since yesterday and currently at 0.0522%. This points towards a more speculative driven price movement.

Funding Rates: FR has decreased since yesterday and currently at 0.0141%. More traders have opened short positions.

Open Interest and Volumes: OI is at $30.913 B and Vol. is at $18.54 B. There was a slight increase in OI but the Volume decreased considerable from yesterday.

To conclude: Bitcoin treads water in the past 24 hours. Price has seen a small dip, with minimal movement between opening and closing (at the time writing). This suggests a cooling market, supported by lower funding rates which shows the bulls are gathering their breaths. The volume has reduced since yesterday. These signals point to cautious traders. However, open interest, which reflects the total capital tied up in contracts, has increased. This implies growing market pressure and potential for volatility despite the lower volume. The higher open interest alongside lower volume could be a sign of consolidation, with traders waiting for a breakout in either direction.

In short, Bitcoin's price action is mixed. While caution prevails, the market may be poised for a significant move soon.
