$200M BTC options expires as everything looks bullish, except for the Friday price. The focus now shifts to corporate quarterly disclosures.
On Friday, Bitcoin had touched $48,000 giving more hopes for a bull run thanks to the low supply and anticipated corporate disclosures.

Data from TradingView shows Bitcoin’s path towards consolidating its Friday position, as the options expire. Since bouncing off $47,000 on Thursday, the pair made little progress but this did not deter analysts from expounding on the pair’s bullish expectations.
The bullish expectations most likely come from a supply squeeze that is driving prices up – the market is currently experiencing a blend of heightened demand even as long-term holders already own approximately 80% of the supply.
Renowned crypto trader, Pentoshi, noted about the BTC price outlook in a tweet that, “Keep in mind alt supply, and ETF season ahead likely to be key drivers + disclosures.”

Looking at Binance’s buy and sell levels confirms that the resistance begins at $48,600, which came lower during the consolidation. However, $44,000 is the current buy interest.

Derivatives platforms revealed calmer conditions cooling market sentiments concerning last week’s major sell-off. In a single day, Bitcoin lost $10,000 as overleveraged trading experienced a wipe-out, and since then leverage has kept a considerably low position.
As the crypto ecosystem experiences marginally positive funding rates, it’s a clear indicator that the market is now better positioned for sustainable growth – a bull run lacking any irrationality.
The co-founders of Glassnode, an on-chain analytics firm, Jan Happel and Yann Allemann commented about the chart below that:
“Traders in Bitcoin futures markets remain reasonably bullish with a positive funding rate returning to perpetual swap contracts.”
Traders in #Bitcoin futures markets remain reasonably bullish with a positive funding rate returning to perpetual swap contracts.
Note how funding rates are positive, but not up to the same level as before the $10k sell-off last week

Despite the positivity surrounding the crypto market, caution is still advised when choosing a pair to invest in since the impact of crypto goes above and beyond common economic institutions.
