- Bitcoin OI has increased while short bets climb.
- With the increase in HODL feeling and an increase in new addresses, a break greater than $ 96,000 could trigger short pressure.
The open interest of Bitcoin (BTC) climbs quickly, but not in the right direction for the Bulls. The funding rate has become negative at -0.023%, reporting that short bets accumulate rapidly.
On Binance, more than 60% of BTC / USDT short-circuited traders on the 4-hour table. Long? They took a hit – nearly a million dollars wiped out while the merchants reserved profits after the BTC sprint’s return above $ 95,000.
But here is the thing: since February, $ 96,000 has been too hard to break. But with so many shorts in play, could pressure finally push Bitcoin through?
Bitcoin walking on a tidy rope
Earlier in February, Bitcoin was stuck in a boring loop between $ 98,900 and $ 93,500 – and each time he culminated above $ 95,000, he was struck directly. But this time? The atmosphere is very different.
At the time, it was a macro drama causing panic.
Now, the rise of the BTC at $ 95,000 comes after a much stronger rally, exploding through the old resistance areas. In short, many more holders are in profit now, and they have much fewer reasons to bail out the first sign of problem.
According to Ambcrypto, the Hodl season could be back. Nothing painted the image better than the action on the chain – the Hodl (Rhodl) report made from Bitcoin has just reached a two -month summit.

This increased R -HODL ratio indicates that the market is transformed into a mode of accumulation – which means that holders to fold their parts, not rushing for outings.
And it’s not just the OGs. About 30,000 new BTC brilliant addresses were born on April 23, on the right while Bitcoin oscillated nearly $ 93,727.
Assemble, old money, new money – everyone stacks SAT, not the sale.
Obviously, they expect larger earnings. This is why this withdrawal is less like a collapse and more like a classic shaken – eliminate weak hands and joyful traders before the start of the real party.
A short pressure could be everything you need
At the time of the press, Bitcoin slipped 0.39% below its opening of $ 94,760 – and yes, the correction crowd becomes stronger.
After all, the rally at the end of February of the BTC fixed a high bar and some cracks are starting to show. Picked shorts, betting hard on downward action.
But here is the thing: if the bulls continue to bend, $ 96,000 are not only possible. In fact, it is a hatch that awaits to close on the bears.
And to judge by the configuration, with the funding rate (FR) deeply in the red, the bulls seem more than ready to destroy certain sellers in the open.

A large image? A deep correction seems quite improbable for Bitcoin at the moment.
With a feeling of high maintenance and shorts stacked on low hand outings, the scene could be planned for an $ 96,000 escape earlier than most expectations.
