The daily Bitcoin (BTC) whale activity has decreased as the cryptocurrency market faces extremely greedy sentiment. Data from Santiment reveals that whale transactions involving at least $100,000 worth of BTC dropped by 17.5% in the last 24 hours, from 24,313 to 20,048 unique transactions per day.
BTC Price and Market Data
During the same period, Bitcoin’s price experienced a slight 0.6% decline, currently trading at $66,750 with a market cap of $1.31 trillion. The 24-hour trading volume for BTC also decreased by 42%, now at around $59 billion.
Market Sentiment and Greed Index
Despite the price drop, market sentiment remains extremely greedy, with the fear and greed index standing at 88. This is evident as Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $69,170 on March 5 when the greed index was at 90.
Bitcoin Open Interest and Funding Rate
Bitcoin’s total open interest rose from $10.76 billion to $10.83 billion in the past 24 hours. However, the funding rate declined from 0.08% to 0.04%, indicating an increase in short positions and trades betting on a price decline.
Liquidations and RSI
Coinglass data shows that Bitcoin faced over $80 million in liquidations in the last 24 hours, with $50.88 million in longs and $28.93 million in shorts. Additionally, Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) increased from 73 to 76, signaling high volatility and potential price fluctuations.
To maintain a bullish trend, Bitcoin’s RSI would need to drop below 60. An RSI below 50 would suggest decreased price volatility for BTC.
