Bitcoin Call Options Signal Investor Optimism for Breaking $74,000 Barrier

Data on bitcoin options’ open interest suggests a bullish outlook for the price of the world’s top cryptocurrency.

Many bitcoin enthusiasts are speculating that the price of bitcoin, the largest digital currency, could surge beyond $74,000 this month, according to analysts at QCP Capital. They have been analyzing call option data to gauge the optimistic sentiment around the leading cryptocurrency globally.

“Our team has observed robust bullish activity, with substantial bitcoin call options being purchased for June expiries. This indicates a strategic positioning in the options market, aiming for a breakthrough above $74,000, surpassing the previous all-time highs this month,” noted QCP Capital analysts.

Experts believe that a significant portion of the positive price momentum is driven by the influx of capital into bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that launched in January. Additionally, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is anticipated to give full approval to ethereum ETFs this summer, which is also expected to attract substantial investments into the broader digital asset market.

This month, the open interest for bitcoin options predominantly targets a $75,000 strike price on the Deribit derivatives exchange, highlighting the continued bullish sentiment among bitcoin investors.
