Bitcoin futures open interest on the Chicago Merchantile Exchange suddenly surging 16% could be a signal that the recent boredom may finally break.<\/p>\n

After nearly three full months of sideways trading<\/a> and record-low volatility, does this subset of traders have insight into a big breakout coming? Or could these traders potentially be jumping the gun yet again?<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Price Finally Makes A Move, But Will The Range Break?<\/h2>\n

BTCUSD is trading at $9,350 after one of the largest intraday moves in recent weeks. Yesterday’s early morning surge may have been the start of the breakout that traders have been waiting for.<\/p>\n

The pump coinciding with stocks surging and gold setting new local highs, sent crypto assets soaring higher. Bitcoin broke through a short-term downtrend line and symmetrical triangle, but the reaction has been meager thus far considering the consolidation.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin price has been trading sideways for almost 90 days now, and while data shows that another 90 days is still possible<\/a>, analysts are clamoring for an explosive move.<\/p>\n

Bollinger Bands are at the tightest point since the last over 50% move in Bitcoin that took the asset to its bear market bottom. After such coiling, yesterday’s move in BTC resulted in a push through the middle-line in the Bollinger Bands and a first lift in the outer bands<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It also pushed the asset’s price to the top of the bands, prompting the indicator’s creator to warn<\/a> of a “head fake.”<\/p>\n
