Bitcoin Surges in Binance Futures, Reaching $543 Billion Volume

Bitcoin is continuing to lead with a dominating share in Binance’s futures market, claiming 27.17% of the total $2.002 trillion trading volume this October.

This figure indicates a marked increase from September’s $1.95 trillion, amid recovery in institutional and speculative participation in derivatives, even following last week’s market downturn.

Bitcoin Futures Gain Momentum

Specifically, Bitcoin futures trading volume surged to $543.33 billion in October, showing an increase from $418 billion in September and slightly surpassing August’s $542 billion. Persistent trading above the $2 trillion level highlights a positive market sentiment marked by healthy liquidity and a return of confidence.

Such consistent growth in trading volume often precedes significant price fluctuations, hinting at potential increased volatility soon. If this momentum is complemented by rising funding rates and increased open interest, it sets the stage for another bullish period driven by substantial institutional players and active speculators.

These elements collectively position Bitcoin to effectively challenge resistance levels, reinforcing the broader market recovery seen lately.

With respect to its price direction, Bitcoin’s current market landscape seems to be entering an accumulation phase, according to crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr. He highlighted that the Bitcoin Heat Macro Phase is shifting into the Bottom/Accumulation zone, typically signaling diminishing speculative pressure and laying the groundwork for the next growth cycle. Adler emphasized the need for volatility to stabilize, with external market shocks remaining at bay for a week to facilitate a meaningful rally.

Meanwhile, researcher 0xNobler stirred speculation by reporting that an insider with a “100% win rate” just opened $150 million in long positions ahead of Donald Trump’s upcoming speech. The trader’s flawless history in forecasting Bitcoin and Ethereum price actions might suggest potential insider information or coordinated market expectations.

Attention on CPI Data

The much-anticipated US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for September is due to be released today following a week’s delay. Analysts predict a rise in consumer prices for a second straight month due to increased costs in tariff-sensitive products, whereas declining shelter prices may ease services-related inflation. Sarah House from Wells Fargo remarked that goods inflation is expected to remain high despite some cooling in services.

Bitfinex analysts added that a core CPI reading above 3.2% year-on-year could exert upward pressure on real yields, while a softer figure below 2.8% might enhance risk appetite and potentially benefit Bitcoin.
