Bitcoin Futures See Largest Liquidity Surge In A Year – Bullish Continuation?

Source Bitcoinist

Bitcoin is trading above $93,000 for the first time since early March, signaling a significant shift in market sentiment after weeks of heightened volatility, global tensions, and macroeconomic uncertainty. The breakout comes as bulls reclaim control, pushing prices sharply higher following a prolonged consolidation period between $81K and $88K.

The surge reflects renewed optimism among investors, many of whom are responding to a more stable outlook in risk markets. With the US-China trade conflict still looming, and speculation around interest rate cuts building, Bitcoin appears to be decoupling from traditional market fears, at least in the short term.

CryptoQuant data adds more weight to the rally. Over the last three days, positions totaling 57,000 BTC have been opened in the futures market, representing a staggering $5.345 billion at current prices. This marks the largest liquidity injection into Bitcoin derivatives in the past year, highlighting rising speculative interest and the growing confidence among market participants.

With momentum shifting and volume picking up, all eyes are now on whether Bitcoin can sustain this move and build toward a retest of all-time highs—or if the market is due for a short-term cooldown.

Bitcoin Faces Crucial Resistance As Bulls Aim For $100K

Bitcoin is now testing a key resistance zone around $95,000 that could define short-term momentum. After weeks of uncertainty and consolidation, bulls have reignited the uptrend case, pushing prices above $93K and eyeing a breakout that could send BTC toward six figures. Analysts widely agree that $95K represents the last major barrier before the $100K level enters play—a psychological milestone that could trigger accelerated buying.

However, not everyone is convinced that the breakout will come immediately. Some market watchers suggest that BTC may retest the $88K–$85K demand zone before attempting another push higher. This consolidation could be a healthy step in confirming the current rally’s sustainability.

Global tensions between the US and China remain a wildcard, as financial markets continue to react to trade negotiations and macroeconomic shifts. Despite US President Donald Trump’s recent optimistic comments about ongoing talks, the uncertainty still looms, and it may affect investor sentiment across risk assets, including Bitcoin.

Adding weight to the bullish thesis, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler shared the Bitcoin Futures Open Interest chart, revealing that over the last three days, positions totaling 57,000 BTC—valued at roughly $5.345 billion—were opened in the futures market. This marks the largest surge in liquidity over the past year, signaling renewed speculative interest and strong institutional momentum.

BTC Price Surges Past $93K, Momentum Builds

Bitcoin is trading at $93,700 after two days of strong price action, gaining over 10% since the start of the week. This rally has shifted short-term sentiment in favor of the bulls, who have regained control after weeks of sideways movement and uncertainty. With BTC now breaking above key resistance levels, momentum is clearly building—but the next steps are crucial.

To keep this rally going, bulls must defend the $90K level as immediate support. A clean hold here would allow BTC to consolidate gains and prepare for a potential breakout above the highly anticipated $100K psychological barrier. Such a move could attract even more buying pressure and signal a full trend reversal after months of correction.

However, failure to hold $90K could result in a healthy pullback. A retest of the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) around $88,500 would still keep the bullish structure intact while allowing the market to reset before making another move higher. For now, bulls are in control, but with volatility increasing, eyes are on whether BTC can build a solid base above $90K and set up the next leg of this rally.
