Bitcoin price peels back from its weekly high, but BTC derivatives markets look good 

Wider economic and stock market-related issues are impacting Bitcoin’s softening price, but futures market data shows traders still feel bullish.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) price momentum has cooled since the Oct. 29 rally toward the all-time high, but the derivatives market continues to project traders’ optimism in a price recovery. 

The analysis of Bitcoin futures and options markets suggests that traders are maintaining positions without excessive leverage, which is crucial for a sustainable push toward new all-time highs. However, understanding the trigger for Bitcoin's price drop to below $69,000 on Nov. 1 remains essential.

Bitcoin traders take a breather as BTC price metrics hint new highs are incoming

Bitcoin fell short of its all-time high, but multiple Bitcoin price metrics show BTC price on target to hit new all-time highs 

Bitcoin (BTC) surged 9.7% from Oct. 27 to Oct. 29, reaching a peak of $73,575, before paring gains to retest the $71,500 level on Oct. 30. Despite Bitcoin’s price correction, several indicators—including derivatives market activity, onchain metrics, and stablecoin demand—suggest a solid foundation for a sustained rally above $73,000 in the near term.

But, the Bitcoin futures premium—a key gauge of leveraged demand—signals strong conviction from bullish investors.
