Technical indicators point to market volatility and the rising FOMO. Open interest in Bitcoin reached $31 billion, which is 27% higher than the record figures of April 2021, when open interest in derivatives based on BTC rose to $24.3 billion. Analysts expect that the price of BTC may soon undergo a significant adjustment, but it’ll show stable growth in the long term.
It’s also worth noting that on March 1, 2024, there was a record for the number of BTC withdrawn from the accounts of crypto exchanges. Users withdrew about $2.3 billion worth of Bitcoin from CEXs. Of these, about $1 billion came from Coinbase. Such an outflow of BTC from crypto exchanges is one of the largest in the last five years.
