According to this chart, only 9% of positions are opened by traders who believe Bitcoin (BTC) may reach a new all-time high (ca $20,000) by the end of this turbulent year.

However, the price level of $10,000, which has proven to be crucial for bears in Q1-Q2, 2020, could be reached with a 30% probability by May, June, September or December.
