Market Analysis
Bitcoin price steadily pushed closer to $25k this week as investors remain cautiously optimistic from recent economic indicators. In the derivatives market, bitcoin open interest increased by $934 million and aggregated funding rates stayed positive as compared to last week, buoyed by rising sentiment in the market. A total of $497 million BTC liquidations and $737 million ETH liquidations happened in the last 7 days. On 10 August alone, over $62 million BTC shorts and $123 million ETH shorts were liquidated after BTC and ETH jumped following the lower-than-predicted release of the U.S. consumer price index for July.
