Bitcoin Hits New High: Should You Sell Your Soul for Profit? 💰😱

by
  • Bitcoin is flexing its muscles with some serious bullish vibes, while traders are feeling all warm and fuzzy about short-term gains. 💪✨
  • But hold your horses! On-chain metrics are waving red flags like they just saw a ghost. 👻

So, Bitcoin [BTC] just smashed through the $111k barrier like it was made of marshmallows, hitting a jaw-dropping all-time high of $111.8k. 🎉

That’s about 2% above its previous record of $109.6k (set back in the dark ages of mid-January). Traders in long positions are acting like they can’t even fathom that a local high could be lurking around the corner. 🙈

And here’s the kicker: it’s starting to feel a bit like December. In a post on CryptoQuant Insights, our friend Amr Taha pointed out that the Estimated Leverage Ratio is climbing faster than my blood pressure during tax season—now at 0.2! 📈

This is eerily similar to the levels we saw in December 2024. Déjà vu, anyone? 🤔

The Open Interest on Binance is also playing the nostalgia card, hanging out near its December levels. High OI means traders are feeling bullish, but it also means we might be in for a bumpy ride. Buckle up! 🎢

Just a friendly reminder: high speculative interest can turn rallies into rollercoasters and pullbacks into panic attacks. 🎠

Market Selling: The Drama Unfolds as Bitcoin Hits ATHs

Binance’s netflow data is in the spotlight, showing that 4,435 BTC was sent to the exchange on May 22. That’s the biggest positive netflow since April 7. Looks like the selling pressure is knocking at the door just as prices hit new highs! 🚪💥

But wait! The 30-day moving average of the netflow data is sitting at a cozy -1,318 BTC. These negative vibes were last seen in January 2023, when Bitcoin was just starting to shake off the bear market blues. 🐻

So, long-term holders, don’t start throwing your wallets out the window just yet! 🪙

The adjusted SOPR (aSOPR) metric is like the report card for Bitcoin, showing that more investors are cashing in on profits. Its 7-day moving average is above 1, which is like getting a gold star! 🌟

However, it’s still not close to the highs we saw in March or November 2024, but it’s on its way. If history is any guide, Bitcoin might just have a lot more room to run in this rally. 🏃‍♂️💨

Long-term investors, keep your eyes peeled for those market top signals. The heightened Open Interest suggests that traders and short-term holders should brace themselves for some wild swings and maybe even take a little profit. 💸
