Matrixport: The crypto market faces short-term volatility, but the overall upward trend is not over yet
Odaily News Matrixport released a chart today saying that in the past two weeks, Bitcoin open interest has increased by $6 billion, and the annualized funding rate has soared to 19%, indicating that there are a large number of aggressive leveraged long positions in the market. At the same time, South Koreas retail trading activity has increased significantly, with cryptocurrency trading volume jumping from $1 billion to $6 billion, reflecting the dominant role of retail funds in this round of market.
However, as prices enter a sideways phase, these highly leveraged long positions may face the risk of passive liquidation, especially after the FOMC meeting next week, when the market will enter a relatively light trading period in August.
Although there may be volatility pressure in the short term, several key positive factors are building momentum for after the summer, and the overall upward trend of the crypto market has not yet ended.
