Overview

Bitcoin is currently trading above $105,000, despite signs suggesting that the rally might be hitting its peak.

Key Points:

• Bitcoin remains stable over the weekend with a slight 0.4% movement.
• Recent metrics indicate that the current Bitcoin market is potentially overheated according to a report from CryptoQuant.
• James Wynn, a trader, suffered a liquidated position after incurring losses exceeding $17 million.
• Shares of Brazilian fintech firm Méliuz dropped 8% after announcing a $78 million equity raise intended for Bitcoin purchases.

Market Analysis:

Bitcoin is trading around the $105K mark, maintaining a steady performance as the Asian market opens for business. This weekend’s minor price fluctuation has not disrupted trading volumes. However, indicators demonstrate a demand spike approaching levels seen in December 2024, forecasting potential market corrections.

CryptoQuant’s Recommendation: The report suggests that the next significant resistance for Bitcoin is at $120,000, coinciding with historical profit-taking thresholds.

Recent Trading Activities:

James Wynn’s aggressive trading on Hyperliquid led to a total liquidation, leaving only $23 in his account.

Méliuz’s Market Position:

Méliuz’s plans for a public offering include a combination of shares aimed at bolstering Bitcoin purchases, with early market reactions reflecting skepticism as shares drop post-announcement.

Regulatory Concerns:

Brad Lander, NYC’s Comptroller, criticized Eric Adams’ proposal to issue Bitcoin-backed municipal bonds, labeling it economically unsound and inappropriate for public funding needs.
