Gate News: On March 17, Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo tweeted that on-chain and fundamental funding aspects of Bitcoin remain strong in this region, opening up space for a price rally to the mid-$80,000 range. This range represents the short-term holder cost basis. Woo pointed out that this rally is mainly driven by the futures market, with buying primarily from short-term funds. Such liquidity can easily lead to “whip-saw” volatility to hunt leveraged positions. He believes that the current bottom structure has not yet formed, and from a liquidity perspective, the overall bear market process is about one-third complete. He also warned that the current rebound could be a “bull trap.”

CryptoQuant: April’s BTC rise was driven by perpetual futures, warning of correction risk
The study said that in April, the Bitcoin price was driven by perpetual contract long positions, while spot demand remained weak. The increase rose from $66k to $79k, about 20%. The structure resembled the early stage of the 2022 bear market. The study’s head warned that unless spot demand turns positive, it would be difficult to sustainably break above $79k, and the risk of corrections is increasing. The bull market score index fell from 50 to 40, with spot-expressed demand still negative, suggesting that the rally may be driven by leverage rather than new buying pressure.
