This means that the leading cryptocurrency in the market is surging in volume across all major platforms.

Amid rising trading activity, the Options Open Interest (OI) of BTC has also seen a major boost during this time. As of now, the OI has surged 2.18% to $10.24 billion. It shows that there is a big surge in the number of options contracts held by BTC traders in active positions.
It should be noted that this rising OI means that current market sentiment is optimistic. Moreover, it indicates that investor confidence is pushing the price to higher levels. High OI is a crucial indicator as it pinpoints the continuation of this bullish trend on the market.
Bitcoin price rally scenario
