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.

Long road to new highs
Many analysts specializing in spot crypto trading spheres also believe we shouldn't get too excited about the prospects of new Bitcoin (BTC) all-time highs.
For instance, Dutch trader and analyst Michael van de Poppe, recommends treating 2023 or 2024 as a 'more natural' target for a new ATH.
Vladislav SopovHe also believes that this Bitcoin(BTC) price cycle could take longer than the previous one due to the eventual maturation of the cryptocurrency market.
However, as previously reported by U.Today, this metric by Skew was as low as 4% less than two months ago. So, the overall bullish market sentiment has significantly strengthened.
