Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed BTC/USD as it reacted amid highly elevated open interest (OI) on exchanges.


Previously, Cointelegraph reported on the more than $15 billion in OI being apt to spark a fresh round of volatility. Some feared that BTC price downside would result, with the ultimate direction unknown.


In the end, shorts felt the heat as Bitcoin made swift gains to top out at just below $35,900.


Analyzing the situation before the move, popular trader Skew and others predicted the event in advance. Skew argued that momentum would increase quickly should $34,800 return — a sequence of events that then came true.


“Open interest still building up & looking more like shorts have a higher float in the OI build up here. $34,800 ~ key price for a squeeze,” he told X subscribers.Yup there was a significant rise in OI overnight- it seems to be more of the same- shorts aping into passive bids here at the local lows.

We have a big rise in OI, perp takers net selling, funding decreasing, and limit bids being filled. A recipe for a nice squeeze up. https://t.co/IgwSR5dIo9 pic.twitter.com/F82fmNnw7F— CrediBULL Crypto (@CredibleCrypto) November 7, 2023


On-chain monitoring resource Material Indiators repeated a previous assertion that $36,000 would stay out of reach this week.


“You can never say, ‘Never’ in this game, but based on the latest Trend Precognition signals, I’d be very surprised to see BTC move above $36k before the Weekly candle close,” part of a post-move X post read, referring to one of its proprietary trading indicators.BTC/USDT order book data for Binance as of Nov. 7.

Fellow trader Daan Crypto Trades, meanwhile, eyed what he described as “an interesting shift” in derivatives composition.


Traders on the largest crypto exchange, Binance, were positioning themselves bearishly compared to exchange Bybit, he noted, but a “long squeeze” was far from certain.


“Bybit perpetuals have consistently traded higher than Binance. There’s been a clear long interest on Bybit while Binance has been more short orientated during this range,” he summarized.


An accompanying chart compared the two exchanges’ BTC/USDT perpetual swap pairs, showing Binance trading lower after the short squeeze.


“Will be very interesting to see how this resolves,” he concluded.“One thing is clear and that’s that Bybit traders are more bullish than Binance traders.”Binance vs. Bybit Bitcoin perpetual swaps chart. Source: Daan Crypto Trades/XMajor BTC futures OI flush still to appear
