💵 BTC funding rate dropped to zero

Crypto analyst Alex Adler drew attention to this.

↗️ The indicator reflects the balance between long (bullish) and short (bearish) positions on BTC futures:

🔵A positive rate means that more traders expect the price of Bitcoin to rise.
🔵A negative rate indicates that traders are betting on the price to fall.
🔵A zero rate indicates a balance between long and short positions, which indicates uncertainty in the market.

According to the expert, in previous cases when the funding rate reached zero, Bitcoin quickly gained momentum and began to grow sharply.

💰 Gold market at highs: what will happen to Bitcoin?

Over the past 2 months, gold reserves in the three largest COMEX vaults have grown by 15 million ounces, which is 115% more than in 2020.

🆙 This is due to large-scale liquidity injections in the US and uncertainty about inflation.

The US government has borrowed $838 billion for the first 4 months of the 2025 fiscal year. This puts pressure on the bond market and leads to an increase in Treasury yields.

↗️The founder of Capriole Investments compared the current situation with the summer of 2024. According to his observations, BTC usually repeats the movement of gold with a delay of 3-6 months, but with a greater amplitude.

🕯 What to expect from Bitcoin this week?

A small gain in the BTC price over February 15-16 could trigger inflows into ETFs when traditional markets open on Monday.

The recent weekend was “challenging” for Bitcoin, but this trend is changing, according to Jeffrey Kendrick, head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered.

According to him, unfavorable events have already happened. In addition, the yield on 10-year US bonds is below 4.5% this week, which is a positive signal for risk assets like Bitcoin.

As these factors develop, the BTC price will first reach $100,000 and then $102,500. The growth could lead to even greater demand for coins and further positive dynamics.

⚡ The bull trend is only developing with the onset

British cryptographer, Blockstream CEO Adam Back believes that all projects are still in the early stages of the bull trend - despite the inability of the first cryptocurrencies to finally overcome the $ 100,000 barrier.

According to him, the "green zone" of BTC will last for a long time after the halving (reduction of rewards for miners by two). This event occurred on April 19, 2024 - less than a year ago. From then to the end of January, sales volumes increased by more than 85%, reaching a new historical record of $ 109,114.

In addition to the halving, the Blockstream CEO noted several other factors due to which the market should grow. This is the influx of capital into cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as well as regular purchases of cryptocurrencies by Strategy (formerly Microstrategy) and other large players.

“There is a very large influx of capital into crypto ETFs right now – about twice as many bitcoins are being bought as are mined in a single day. This has a big impact on the price growth,” Beck said.

🔷The market is storming again, and many are worried about the fall

Let's figure it out: crypto is not going anywhere, it is preparing for growth, and there is definitely no need to panic.

Globally, everything is even better than before. Spot Bitcoin ETFs were launched in 2024, and BlackRock is actively promoting them in investment portfolios. The US is becoming more and more loyal to crypto: Trump won the election in November with a pro-crypto position. Companies like MicroStrategy continue to buy Bitcoin, and banks, including Goldman Sachs, are implementing it into their systems.

All these factors create a solid foundation for growth, and we are on the verge of a new rise. Yes, there is a decline now, but this is not a crisis. Binance and other exchanges have staged a "cleanup": Bitcoin fell to 90 thousand, although large players have poured in billions. Perhaps this is their last chance before the upcoming regulations. Soon, such sharp fluctuations may become a thing of the past.

Large investors are actively buying Bitcoin, but its price is still stagnant - this is not an accident, but a sign of planned growth. As soon as the market comes to life, Bitcoin's dominance will decrease, and altcoins will start to grow. This has already happened in previous cycles: after falls, there was always a new round of growth, like in 2021.

The main thing is not to panic and look to the future. We have already been through ups and downs and we know that after the storm, the sun always comes out. Everything is just beginning, so be prepared!
