BTC has already broken through the resistance zone of 88,000-89,000 and is currently pushing towards the 94,000 mark. There is an interesting phenomenon worth noting in this rally.
By looking at the open interest (OI) data, we can see the clues. As the price rises, the OI is also increasing simultaneously, and the current OI level has already surpassed the scale it was at when BTC tested 94,000 a month ago. What does this indicate? More leveraged funds are participating in this rally, and the momentum of follow-through is stronger. Overall, the quality of this upward push is much more solid than previous rebounds.
The next movement can be divided into two scenarios. If BTC can effectively hold above 94,000 and confirm this level, the next key resistance zone to watch is around 100,000. If it gets blocked at 94,000 and pulls back, the 88,000-89,000 range is likely to turn into a support zone, increasing the probability that the price will find support there.
But a word of caution—strong rebounds can also occur in a bear market, and a strong rebound does not necessarily mean the overall trend has reversed. Whether this Q1 rally can continue ultimately depends on market structure, emotional fluctuations, and historical patterns working together. From this perspective, it’s not the time to start a long-term bullish position or go all-in on spot holdings. We need to observe a bit longer.

OI breaks previous high, this is true leverage betting, unlike the previous rebounds which were so fake

Having too much leverage funding is a warning signal, isn't it? Isn't this the same pattern as the previous two rebounds...

The detail that OI is rising synchronously is indeed worth noting, indicating that this is not a false prosperity driven by retail investors, and the quality of funds is evident. However, I still remain cautious; whether 94,000 can hold is a watershed. If it breaks below 88-89, that becomes support, completing the entire logical cycle. The bear market rebound, no matter how strong, is just a fleeting moment; without fundamental drivers, the rise will eventually be reversed.

oi syncing with price action is textbook capital utilization efficiency — more leverage deployed means tighter spreads but also higher liquidation cascade risk when it inevitably unwinds. seen this pattern before, told people so back in december lol

actually, let me break this down — higher OI alongside price pumps isn't necessarily bullish, it's just more leverage in the system. could snap either way tbh. the real question is whether this is structural demand or just retail fomo with bigger multipliers... historically speaking, when OI diverges from actual adoption metrics like this, it tends to end messily.

I'm feeling a bit uneasy with such high OI; with such aggressive leverage stacking, can 94,000 really hold steady?

OI is so high, the leverage is quite aggressive. Can it break 100 this time?

OI is really different now. The leverage is stacked so thickly. If 94,000 can't be broken, that would be truly scary.
