According to analyst Maartunn from CryptoQuant, these Bitcoin bid walls are visible on Binance Futures, where aggressive buyers are stepping in to absorb the selling pressure. Historically, such large-scale bids have often signaled local bottoms, with whales and institutional traders accumulating Bitcoin during market dips.

Why Bitcoin Bid Walls Matter

The formation of these bid walls indicates a growing confidence among deep-pocketed players. They imply that Bitcoin’s downside could be limited, even as macroeconomic uncertainties continue to loom over the market. Traders remain cautious, but these bid patterns reflect a potential shift in sentiment.

Maartunn’s analysis highlights two major bid clusters on Binance Futures: one around 800 BTC and another stacking up to 2,000 BTC. This concentration of buy orders suggests that aggressive dip buyers are actively accumulating Bitcoin at current price levels of approximately $97,000.

Aggressive Buyers and Market Dynamics

Bid walls of this magnitude are significant because they demonstrate a willingness among investors to absorb selling pressure and defend perceived undervalued price levels. By doing so, they create a temporary price floor, making it difficult for Bitcoin to fall further without substantial selling volume.

This behavior is often observed in the early phases of market reversals, as smart money begins building positions while retail sentiment remains fearful. The clusters reflect renewed confidence from high-volume traders who see long-term value despite the recent correction.

If these bid orders persist and continue to absorb liquidity, Bitcoin could stabilize above the $95,000–$97,000 range. Historically, strong bid support has preceded short-term relief rallies, hinting that the current dip may set the stage for a broader recovery.

Bitcoin’s Battle with Key Support Levels

Bitcoin’s price remains fragile, hovering near $96,800, its lowest point since May. The three-day chart reveals a decisive break below the psychological $100,000 threshold, confirming a short-term bearish trend as sellers dominate the market.

Volume has spiked significantly in recent sessions, suggesting panic-driven liquidations as traders unwind leveraged positions. The 50-day moving average has crossed below the 100-day, indicating fading momentum, while the 200-day moving average near $88,000 stands as the next critical support zone if selling pressure persists.

Despite the breakdown, there are early signs of stabilization as dip buyers step in. If Bitcoin can reclaim and hold above $100,000, a short-term relief rally towards $105,000–$108,000 could unfold. However, failure to defend $95,000 may accelerate the decline towards $90,000.

Overall, the market is in a state of consolidation, balancing between the risk of capitulation and early accumulation. Bitcoin’s ability to recover from this dip will depend on the persistence of these bid walls and the overall market sentiment.

The two contracts set to debut include the Nano Bitcoin Perpetual-Style Futures at 0.01 BTC and Nano Ether Perpetual-Style Futures at 0.10 ETH. These contracts, with 5-year expiry and 24/7 trading hours, will “strictly” monitor spot markets on Coinbase’s regulated platform, according to an official announcement on Thursday.

“Many US-based traders currently access perpetual futures through offshore exchanges, which comes with its share of regulatory, custody, and counterparty risks,” said Boris Ilyevsky, Head of Coinbase Derivatives Exchange. “Our new US Perpetual-Style Futures contracts do away with the need for offshore alternatives, providing traders with a regulated, domestic alternative that offers the same benefits: straightforward contract expirations, capital efficient trading, long-term strategy execution, and effective risk management.”

Coinbase agreed to acquire Deribit, a crypto derivatives exchange, for $2.9 billion on May 8. Coinbase Derivatives commenced round-the-clock Bitcoin and Ethereum futures trading the next day, with hints of plans to add perpetual-style futures in the United States at the time, as previously reported by The Block.

The trading volume for both Bitcoin and Ethereum futures hit $1.96 trillion and $1.7 trillion respectively in May, as per data from The Block’s Data Dashboard. Ethereum futures recorded the second-highest trading volume in May, just behind its record peak of $1.87 trillion in May 2021.

In a recent report by the CME Group, it was disclosed that on the day of the launch, the trading volume reached $19.3 million across 15 firms and four retail trading platforms. The broad spectrum of participation, from ETF issuers to everyday traders, bears testament to the strong demand for XRP futures.

Since its launch, XRP futures have accumulated a trading volume of $542 million. An impressive 45% of this volume originates from outside North America, demonstrating XRP’s powerful global influence. Open interest has also ascended to $70.5 million.

The CME Group declared its XRP futures in April to broaden its cryptocurrency derivatives offerings, which already encompass Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. XRP contracts are available in two sizes, standard (50,000 XRP) and micro (2,500 XRP), and are cash-settled based on the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate.

These developments are significant, considering that the SEC has previously emphasized the necessity of a regulated futures market when green-lighting spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. With XRP Futures now operational under CFTC supervision, experts suggest this could pave the way for a spot XRP ETF. XRP, alongside Solana and Litecoin, is now considered a leading contender for a spot ETF with a 95% approval probability. Industry insiders believe that the introduction of XRP futures by the CME has removed a significant obstacle for a spot XRP ETF, implying that it’s only a matter of time before spot XRP ETFs become a reality.

According to the CME, recent XRP momentum has been spurred on by Ripple’s significant actions such as the acquisition of Hidden Road for $1.25 billion and the introduction of RLUSD, a stablecoin enhancing XRP’s utility, liquidity, and activity in the DeFi sector.

A recent analysis by market expert Axel Adler Jr. revealed a liquidation dominance oscillator at around -11%. This negative value implies a significant leaning towards the enforced termination of bearish or short contracts.

Adler commented in a post on X that “the prevalence of short contract liquidations signifies buyer potency in the futures market.” Notably, there have been no extreme readings like the -19 seen in April 2024 or the -24 from January 2023. This suggests a bullish market momentum without the dangerous “overheating” often preceding abrupt local reversals.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin has declined by roughly 5.8% from its all-time high of $111,814 recorded on May 22. As of this report, it is trading at $105,366, virtually unchanged from the previous day. Despite a 3.2% dip over the past week, it has seen an 11.2% gain in the last month.

A report from Bitfinex on June 3 indicated that open interest in BTC options reached a peak of $49.4 billion last week before dropping to $39 billion after May 29 expiries. This mirrors the futures market trend, indicating increased institutional involvement and expectations of higher volatility.

Notwithstanding the short-term volatility, institutional conviction appears to be strengthening. Jamie Coutts, chief crypto analyst at Real Vision, highlighted that BTC is outperforming traditional risk assets on a volatility-adjusted basis. He emphasized that the rising hash rate, now at a record high, is a strong indicator of the network’s strength and resilience in the long term.

However, retail interest seems to be lukewarm. Daan Crypto Trades noted that search volume for “Bitcoin” has dipped following the post-election surge, suggesting that the current cycle is primarily driven by institutions.

Esteemed cryptocurrency analyst, Burak Kesmeci, has unveiled some fascinating market intelligence suggesting that TRX is set to stay on an upward trajectory for some time. His insights point to an excellent accumulation opportunity in the TRX Futures Market.

In a post on May 30, Kesmeci proposed that TRX’s position is ripe for further price increases, citing changes in futures retail activity. The analyst used data from CryptoQuant to illustrate that TRX had previously hit a peak of $0.45 in December 2024. This coincided with a high level of retail speculation, as shown by a cluster of red dots on the chart.

However, during a significant market downturn that dominated the initial trimester of 2025, TRX prices plummeted to $0.21. This period saw limited retail participation in the futures market. Despite the reshaped bullish crypto market, TRX prices have climbed to approximately $0.27, with retail activity remaining neutral.

According to Kesmeci, these observations suggest substantial potential for a TRX market upswing, as retail futures activity stays cool. However, any forecasted gains are dependent on a reduction in global macroeconomic and geopolitical tensions.

Currently, TRX is trading at $0.26, reflecting a 2.87% drop in the last 24 hours. Nevertheless, the token’s daily trading volume stands at $806.98 million. CoinCodex data shows that TRX investors are remaining bullish despite recent losses, with a Fear & Greed Index of 60.

Analysts at CoinCodex forecast a return to bullish form for TRX, with predicted price targets of $0.32 and $0.29 in the next five and thirty days respectively. They also project a positive long-term outlook with a price target of $0.51 in six months.

The confluence of these factors substantiates a bearish outlook with the default plan favoring short setups until a consistent breach above $111,800 (today’s first upper VWAP deviation) occurs. Key bearish targets range from $110,470 to $106,500, while bullish targets, only valid above $111,800, range from $112,000 to $117,000.

The founder of Obchakevich Research, Alex Obchakevich, pointed out that Bitcoin’s latest achievement of surpassing Amazon has further drawn the attention of the non-crypto audience. He is of the firm belief that the recent rally will enhance trust in Bitcoin, thereby leading to new investments in the crypto market.

Bitcoin’s price has reached a new all-time high, exceeding $110,000. This, according to Obchakevich, will lure new investors, including large funds. He emphasized the increasingly significant role institutional players are playing in the digital asset space. “In May, BlackRock became the second-largest Bitcoin holder after Satoshi Nakamoto, surpassing Binance in this indicator,” he said.

CEO of Bitcoin liquidity platform Ordeez, Hassan Khan, sees this as a structural shift, arguing that Bitcoin is evolving beyond just a hedge and is gradually becoming a benchmark currency.

As per CoinMarketCap, the total cryptocurrency market cap stands at $3.49 trillion. While this figure is impressive, it’s still about 6% lower than the all-time high of $3.71 trillion reported at the end of 2024. CoinMarketCap also reported that Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw nearly $604 million of net inflows on May 21. The current open interest on crypto derivatives is $756.16 billion for perpetual swaps and $3.24 billion for futures.

Obchakevich predicts a steady journey towards $200,000 for Bitcoin, with gradual adjustments. “This year, we anticipate Bitcoin to hit $150,000 and $90,000,” he said. Khan echoed this sentiment, stating that large net inflows to ETFs and increasing open interest demonstrate growing institutional confidence.

May 22, popularly known as “Bitcoin Pizza Day,” commemorates the day when programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made the first recorded goods purchase with Bitcoin, spending 10,000 BTC on two pizzas from Papa John’s. Ulli Spankowski, Chief Digital Officer at Boerse Stuttgart Group, said that Bitcoin has evolved from a speculative risk to a serious asset class, with a market capitalization surpassing 2 trillion US dollars, making it the fifth-largest asset globally.

Following Tuesday’s Wall Street declines, US stock futures experienced a downturn, primarily led by the tech sector. Concurrently, the dollar’s value continued to drop due to concerns revolving around US government debt, as President Trump seeks passage for his tax bill.

On the other hand, Treasury yields saw a rise. Asian stock markets showed mixed results at the end of their trading day, while European stock markets experienced a fall at the start of their trading day.

The 30-year US Treasury yield is nearing 5% again as fiscal anxieties put pressure on the long-end US debt. According to data from LSEG, the 30-year yield has risen nearly 3 basis points to last trade at 4.993%. The two-year Treasury yield saw an increase of 1.5 basis points ending at 3.982%, and the 10-year yield rose 3 basis points to 4.512%.

With investors struggling with the uncertainty surrounding US fiscal policy, and the role of Treasuries and the dollar as portfolio diversifiers and safe havens, the dollar hit a two-week low. The DXY dollar index against a group of major currencies was recently at 99.4230.

In stock markets, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were down 0.4%, S&P 500 futures fell 0.5%, and Nasdaq futures, which are tech-heavy, were down by 0.6%.

In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index saw a decline of 0.6% following the latest export data that showed a drop in the country’s shipments to the US for the first time in four months. Japanese government bonds also faced pressure due to weak demand following Tuesday’s poorly received 20-year bond auction. On the other hand, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng saw a gain of 0.4% as market newcomer CATL’s shares continued to rise. China’s benchmark Shanghai Composite also saw a climb of 0.2%.

In Europe, the Stoxx Europe 600 saw a drop of 0.2% in morning trading. France’s CAC 40 and Germany’s DAX both fell by 0.3%. The UK’s FTSE 100 saw a loss of 0.1% while sterling rose to a three-year high against the dollar following data that showed UK inflation accelerated more than expected in April.

Oil prices saw an increase of more than 1% in early trade following a CNN report suggesting that Israel is preparing to strike Iranian nuclear facilities. Brent crude rose 1.1% to $66.07 a barrel, and WTI increased 1.2% to $62.75 a barrel. Gold prices also saw a rise due to the weaker US dollar and renewed safe-haven demand.

Both futures contracts will be cash-settled and indexed to the MarketVector Coinbase XRP index, as detailed in the Thursday submissions. The standard XRP futures contract encapsulates 10,000 XRP, while its nano counterpart includes 500 XRP.

Scheduled to debut on or after April 21, these contracts follow the self-certification filings. On Thursday, Coinbase Institutional stated its plan to launch the XRP futures contract on April 21, offering a “regulated, capital-efficient way to gain exposure to one of the most liquid digital assets.”

This development comes on the heels of significant legal achievements for Ripple and XRP. In the previous month, Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will withdraw its appeal in the ongoing XRP case. A 2023 ruling had already established that Ripple’s systematic XRP sales—through platforms like Coinbase—didn’t breach securities laws, as they were carried out through blind bid processes. Despite this, the court ruled that direct sales to institutional investors were securities offerings. With the SEC deciding against an appeal, this ruling is now upheld, reinforcing the notion that XRP is not a security.

The filings represent the latest move by Coinbase Derivatives to broaden its regulated crypto derivatives portfolio for both institutional and retail customers. The addition of XRP futures expands a suite that already includes contracts linked to bitcoin, ether, solana, dogecoin, and cardano. The exchange also provides non-crypto derivatives, with contracts tied to gold, silver, natural gas, and crude oil.

In 2022, Coinbase Derivatives Exchange was inaugurated following Coinbase’s acquisition of the CFTC-regulated futures exchange FairX. The platform is now looking to offer traders more resources to hedge or gain exposure to XRP price fluctuations. According to The Block’s XRP price page, XRP is currently trading around $2, marking a roughly 2% increase over the past 24 hours.

This pause in momentum is a common market phenomenon, with the day’s price action lingering slightly below key volume-weighted levels.

🔍 Crucial VWAP Levels to Monitor

• Today’s VWAP: $87,400
• Yesterday’s VWAP: $87,640

🔼 Scenario Favoring Bulls (Only if price crosses $87,800)

A bullish tilt will only be confirmed if Bitcoin futures surpass and sustain above $87,800. This could signify market strength and potentially pave the way to the subsequent upside targets:

• $88,385 – Slightly below the Point of Control (POC) from March 24
• $88,625 – Near the March 7 POC
• $89,340 – Underneath the Value Area High (VAH) from March 7
• $90,790 – A far-off target, just below the March 3 VWAP

These targets provide a safe exit for bullish traders, reducing risk as the price ascends.

🔽 Scenario Favoring Bears (Only if price breaks below $86,645)

Should Bitcoin futures dip below $86,645, a bearish trend is likely. This level is situated beneath a significant support zone (March 7 VA Low). If breached, it could lead to:

• $86,170 – Above the March 19 VAH
• $85,660 – Above the March 14 VAH
• $85,270 – Above the March 20 VWAP
• $84,020 – Above the March 21 POC
• $82,210 – Near the March 18 POC and March 13 VWAP convergence

These zones can help bearish traders secure profits or guide stop placement.

⚖️ Presently, the market is in a state of suspense between $86,645 and $87,800. Until one side gains the upper hand, the price may consolidate or fluctuate. This necessitates patience for confirmation at these critical thresholds before choosing a direction. The market structure brings us to the pivotal question: ➡️ Is the rally from March 11 on track to hit $90K? ⬅️ Or are we heading for a pullback toward deeper support?

📌 For Bitcoin investors, consider this analysis as a tool to guide your decisions. Pay close attention to price reactions at the bullish and bearish triggers—it provides insights into momentum shifts. With both bullish and bearish scenarios presented by tradeCompass, be prepared for any eventuality.
