Market Analysis
Bitcoin this week saw a steady rise from the $19k levels to a peak of $22k, but closed below $21k on Sunday. In the derivatives market, open interest increased by $868 million as compared to the previous week. However, funding rates turned negative, signifying that traders are expecting more bearish price action. This week, there were a total of $127 million long positions and $201 short positions liquidated, with over $108 million short positions liquidated from 7-8 July alone when BTC price soared to $22k from $20k.
