Ciaran Lyons6 hours agoTraders eye $71.5K Bitcoin price as open interest jumps 13%Bitcoin may be gearing up to move above $70,000 now it has reclaimed a critical level that traders have been closely watching for the past two months.4430 Total views15 Total sharesListen to article 0:00Markets NewsOwn this piece of crypto historyCollect this article as NFTJoin us on social networksBitcoin could be headed toward the $71,500 mark after breaching the $65,000 price point on Tuesday, based on historical patterns as observed by crypto traders. 


The price rebound has also increased interest among future traders betting on Bitcoin’s near-term price movements.


“Breaking $65,000 would mean price would be ready to move inside the $65,000-$71,500 region,” pseudonymous crypto trader Rekt Capital wrote in a July 16 X post, when Bitcoin (BTC) was hovering just shy of $65,000.

Bitcoin is currently trading at $65,846 at the time of publication, according to CoinMarketCap data. 


If Bitcoin moves to $71,500, the next significant stage will be Bitcoin’s all-time high of $73,649, reached on March 13.Bitcoin shorters think otherwise


However, a huge amount of short positions are at risk of being liquidated at $71,500, meaning many future traders are confident the price won’t reach that level for now.


Approximately $1.47 billion in short positions will be wiped at $71,500, according to CoinGlass data.


Despite this, the past five days has rebuilt confidence among future traders, as Open Interest (OI) — the total number of outstanding Bitcoin options contracts traders hold at a given time that have not yet been executed — has spiked 13% over the same period.Bitcoin Open Interest is currently $33.10 billion.

Meanwhile, pseudonymous crypto trader Mags pointed out that Bitcoin’s recent price decline to $56,649 on June 12, falling below the 200-day moving average — could be a signal that Bitcoin could repeat its historical patterns seen in August 2023, where Bitcoin jumped 17.5% to $47,000 in just two months.


“If a similar pattern repeats after the recent dip, we could see $70,000+ for Bitcoin soon” Mags stated in a July 16 X post.


Pseudonymous crypto trader Yoddha believes the sharp decline was a “fakeout to trap all the panic sellers.”
