After snap overnight gains, Bitcoin is attempting to crush resistance on the way toward the $40,000 mark.


​​Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows BTC/USD snatching at $37,000 after initially breaking through prior to the Wall Street open.


Now up 6.6% in November, the largest cryptocurrency is surprising some market participants with its strength, having already gained nearly 30% in October.


For on-chain monitoring resource Material Indicators, the problem lies in trading volume. Upside has been brisk, it acknowledged in its latest post on X (formerly Twitter), but support in the form of strong volume is nowhere to be seen at current levels.


“Support is anchored by new plunge protection at $33k. Meanwhile resistance at $40k has moved up to the $42k range,” it noted.


An accompanying chart showed a print of BTC/USDT order book liquidity on the largest global exchange, Binance.


“There is no denying the fact that price has been challenging a number of different local top signals, but there is also no denying that something doesn’t seem right about this move,” Material Indicators continued.“The most obvious red flag for me is that we are seeing price appreciate on declining volume. That typically doesn’t end well, but we are going to have to watch to see if this time is different.”BTC/USDT order book data for Binance. Source: Material Indicators/X


Popular trader Skew meanwhile revealed whale selling ongoing toward $40,000 — now likely a key psychological level in its own right.$BTC

Elsewhere, financial commentator Tedtalksmacro pointed to increasing open interest (OI) — something which has formed the backbone of snap upside moves in recent weeks and months.

Per data from monitoring resource CoinGlass, total Bitcoin futures OI stood at more than $17 billion at the time of writing — the highest value since mid-April.


“During the bear, the market fades these OI impulses --> a predatory, ranging environment,” Tedtalksmacro wrote in follow-up analysis.“We"ll know it"s full bull time, when the market ignores this and trends higher on higher OI.
