Analysis: Bitcoin's next major move may depend on the direction of oil prices.
CoinFeed reported on April 9th that, according to CoinDesk, analysts believe Bitcoin's next major move may depend on the direction of oil prices. Following the two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran, oil prices fell by about 15% to below $100 per barrel, and Bitcoin subsequently rebounded to around $70,900. Bitfinex analysts stated that if oil prices continue to fall by 15% to 16%, it could bring forward the window for a Federal Reserve rate cut, providing structural support for non-interest-bearing risk assets. A Tesseract Group representative pointed out that Bitcoin is currently around $72,000, and derivatives heatmaps show approximately $6 billion in leveraged short positions concentrated in the $72,200 to $73,500 range. If spot demand drives the price above this area, the resulting cascading liquidations could push Bitcoin towards $80,000.
