Bitcoin Nears $69,000 But It May Be A False Show Of Strength – Analysts Flag Weak Demand, More Volatility Ahead

Bitcoin rose to just under $69,000 on Wednesday, but analysts say the market remains fragile with conflicting signals.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Bitcoin dropped over 6% this week, sliding from $72,000 to $66,000.&nbsp;</li><li>Approximately $300 million in long positions were liquidated over 24 hours.</li><li>Bitcoin's March returns turned negative, putting it on track for a rare six-month losing streak.</li></ul>Bitcoin (BTC) dropped over 6% over the past week, sliding from $72,000 to the $66,000 level on Saturday, as roughly $14.5 billion in Bitcoin expired on Friday.Friday marked a significant settling point for crypto derivatives markets. Roughly $17 billion worth of digital asset options, including approximately $14.5 billion in Bitcoin, expired on crypto derivatives exchange Deribit. Options are contracts that give traders the right to buy or sell Bitcoin at a set price on a specific date. When contracts of this size expire, traders adjust or close their positions, which can push prices sharply in either direction.Despite the expiry, Bitcoin's open interest on Deribit rose 2.38%,indicating that new positions were opened to replace those that expired.The expiry compounded an already pressured market. Approximately $300 million in long positions, bets that Bitcoin's price would rise, were liquidated over 24 hours, compared to only $50 million on the other side, according to market data. This marked the fifth significant liquidation wave in roughly 10 days, with multiple sessions seeing forced selling approaches or exceeding the $300 million mark.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin</a> was trading at $66,273, down by over 2% over the past 24 hours.
