  • Bitcoin price retraced from $30,000 to $29,500, but overall market remains stable.
  • Analyst expects BTC to break above $30k resistance to trigger a cascade of stop-loss orders.
  • Open interest in Bitcoin has been rapidly increasing, indicating heightened volatility in the market.

In a recent analysis, crypto analyst Crypto Rover shifted focus to the movement of Bitcoin (BTC), noting that it has experienced a minor retracement, slipping from $30,000 to $29,500.

Despite this, Crypto Rover highlights that the overall market remains relatively stable, and the anticipated volatility has yet to make a significant impact. The technical analysis delves into the critical resistance level of $30,000, which Bitcoin has been grappling with.

The analyst expressed optimism that a more exponential movement could be expected once Bitcoin manages to break above the 30k level. This anticipated breakout is attributed to many short positions with stop-loss orders around this level. If Bitcoin surpasses $30.3k, it will likely trigger a cascade of stop-loss orders, potentially driving a rapid upward movement.

Drawing parallels to historical events, the analyst points out that previous instances of touching liquidity highs resulted in swift and impactful price movements due to the triggering of stop-loss orders.

Meanwhile, Crypto Rover highlighted that Open interest in Bitcoin has been rapidly increasing. This trend historically indicates heightened volatility in the market. This observation aligns with the analyst’s expectation of impending volatility.

Notably, Open interest in Bitcoin refers to the total number of outstanding or unsettled contracts for futures or options on the cryptocurrency, indicating the level of market participation and potential for future price movements.

On the other hand, the analysis reveals a potential concern regarding decreasing trading volume and activity. While the short-term outlook remains promising, the dwindling volume could imply less exciting price action in the coming weeks. Shifting gears, the discussion extends to the looming Consumer Price Index (CPI) data report, which is expected to induce market fluctuations. The anticipation is that inflation will rise by approximately 0.3 percent, with core inflation hovering around 4.8 percent.
