Road to $70K? Bitcoin Demand Returns to Levels Not Seen This Year

Bitcoin has shown a notable rebound in demand led by futures traders, flashing signs of recovery as momentum continues to build following its latest rally.

Although Bitcoin is still struggling to maintain a steady close above the $63,000 mark, data from crypto analytics platform CryptoQuant shows that Bitcoin market demand has just posted one of the biggest recoveries seen this year.

Bitcoin futures traders back on scene

The analytics platform has revealed that Bitcoin's 30-day cumulative demand has surged massively over the past week as futures traders begin to show renewed interest. 

Notably, the metric increased from around -500,000 BTC to about -75,000 BTC within just seven days, marking the strongest rebound after months of extreme caution.

The source further confirmed that the rapid surge in Bitcoin market demand has been largely driven by the futures market, which has suddenly experienced a notable shift in sentiment.

As such, demand from Bitcoin's futures traders has surged from about -295,000 BTC to slightly above neutral within the period, signaling increased buying pressure.

With this metric, it appears that leveraged investors are once again building their positions as they become more confident about Bitcoin's short-term outlook.

What to expect next?

The sudden rebound in Bitcoin market demand is expected to fuel a rally that could potentially drive Bitcoin to break current resistance and possibly reclaim the crucial $70,000 level.

However, analysts are concerned that the rally may not be sustainable enough to push Bitcoin back to reclaiming a major level, as its spot demand remains relatively weak at around -78,000 BTC.

This suggests that long-term investors and institutions are still exercising caution, indicating that the sharp rebound in Bitcoin's demand was largely driven by speculative trading rather than an influx of fresh capital.

While historical trends show that Bitcoin's strongest and most sustainable rallies have occurred when both futures and spot demand surge together, the caution from spot traders may be the current obstacle hindering Bitcoin's major price breakout.

CoreWeave Dilemma for Nvidia: Forced to Rescue or Stand By?

As both a shareholder of CoreWeave and its sole GPU supplier, Nvidia now faces a dilemma after the sharp decline in CoreWeave's stock price. If it intervenes, each rescue strengthens expectations of a safety net, raises the threshold for future rescues, and risks getting further entangled in this high-leverage game. If it does not intervene, CoreWeave's liquidity crisis will directly cut off demand for GPU purchases, simultaneously devaluing Nvidia's equity investment and severely damaging its market reputation.

US CPI Heats Up Across the Board, Triggering "Inflation Spiral" Alert; October Rate Hike Odds Once Hit 50%. "New Fed News Agency": Watch Waller's Speech This Week

After the CPI was released, the market-implied rate hike probability first rose to 50% before falling back to 40%. Wall Street generally believes that whether action will be taken in October still depends on how the Federal Reserve assesses inflation trends. "The New Fed News Agency" noted that, unlike in August when price increases were concentrated in certain items, the stronger-than-expected performance of September's core CPI was more broad-based, further reinforcing the case for a December rate hike. The speech by Waller on Friday morning Beijing time is his last public statement before the Fed's blackout period ahead of this month's meeting. Economists are warning about an "inflation spiral," with real purchasing power and midterm election pressures interweaving.
