What Caused the Bitcoin Price Crash?

The sharp Bitcoin sell-off coincided with a 2.6% retracement in the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 index futures. Shares of some companies like New York Community Bancorp also declined, causing investors to seek safe havens like gold. This likely prompted Bitcoin whales to short the cryptocurrency.

Cautious Optimism Among Bitcoin Traders

Despite the correction, derivatives metrics show professional Bitcoin traders remain slightly bullish. The futures premium was 15% during the entire rise to $69,150, indicating market makers see $62,000-$64,000 as strong support levels.

Options data also reveals traders are not overly excited. The 25 delta skew is at -7, meaning options traders don’t expect Bitcoin to break $70,000 soon. Traditionally, uncertainty causes investors to favor bonds and cash. However, Bitcoin ETF inflows from gold suggest bullish momentum could continue.

Conclusion

Bitcoin’s latest all-time high and correction highlights the asset’s volatility. However, derivatives data indicates professional traders remain cautiously optimistic about further price appreciation. As cryptocurrency adoption increases, Bitcoin’s bull run could continue ascending to new heights.
