Bitcoin's funding rates have hit their lowest point since 2023, a metric that historically signals a potential local market bottom, according to analysis by Glassnode.
This downturn suggests traders anticipate Bitcoin holding around current levels despite short-term volatility, with high probabilities for the cryptocurrency to remain above $68,000 in mid-April. The combined 24-hour trading volume across prediction markets indicates substantial capital is required to move prices, pointing to institutional interest.
Analysts note that deeply negative funding rates have often preceded market rebounds in previous cycles. Investors are advised to monitor geopolitical developments, particularly US-Iran relations, and institutional announcements from firms like BlackRock and Fidelity, alongside any shifts in Federal Reserve policy, as these factors could influence Bitcoin's trajectory.
