Stairs up, elevator down

After printing seven back-to-back green candles on the weekly chart, Bitcoin was on track to extend its <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="#">winning streak</a>.

On May 7, the BTC price once again surpassed the $10,000 level on the news about billionaire investor <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="#">Paul Tudor Jones</a> getting into the crypto game.

However, it didn’t stop Bitcoin from taking a major nosedive three days later. At 0:12 UTC, it started plunging at breakneck speed, taking a $1,500 haircut in a matter of minutes.

At press time, BTC is trading at $8,729 as the bulls and bears continue to play tug-of-war.&nbsp;

Open interest plunges across the board

In the meantime, popular crypto trader Hsaka noted that open interest, the total number of outstanding derivative contracts, nose-dived across major cryptocurrency exchanges, with Binance taking the biggest hit.

After printing seven back-to-back green candles on the weekly chart, Bitcoin was on track to extend its winning streak.

On May 7, the BTC price once again surpassed the $10,000 level on the news about billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones getting into the crypto game.

However, it didn’t stop Bitcoin from taking a major nosedive three days later. At 0:12 UTC, it started plunging at breakneck speed, taking a $1,500 haircut in a matter of minutes.

At press time, BTC is trading at $8,729 as the bulls and bears continue to play tug-of-war. 

Open interest plunges across the board

In the meantime, popular crypto trader Hsaka noted that open interest, the total number of outstanding derivative contracts, nose-dived across major cryptocurrency exchanges, with Binance taking the biggest hit.

Notably, Chicago-based CME Group recorded its highest open interest to date (nearly $500 mln) on Friday, which coincided with Jones announcing his Bitcoin bet just one day earlier.

Considering that BTC CME futures closed at $10,030 on May 8, the bulls can hope that the $1,200 gap will be filled in the nearest future.
