<p><a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/why-is-the-crypto-market-up-today-bitcoin-at-69310/">Bitcoin is nearing</a> the $70,000 mark, rising by 3.32% in the last 24 hours, and reaching its highest level in six weeks after former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his support for cryptocurrency over the weekend.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Despite this bullish momentum, renowned crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez notes that 55% of investors with open BTC positions in Binance Futures are shorting Bitcoin, does it mean BTC could Fall?</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-55-of-traders-bet-against-bitcoin">55% of Traders Bet Against Bitcoin</h2> 
<p>According to Martinez’s analysis of the 4-hour Bitcoin chart, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/BitcoinOpenInterest">55% of accounts</a> with open BTC positions in Binance Futures are betting against Bitcoin by shorting it. This indicates a bearish sentiment among traders who expect a potential decline in Bitcoin’s price.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>On the other hand, 44.98% of investors are optimistic, believing that Bitcoin will surge from its current price level.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the current long/short ratio stands at 0.82, suggesting that Bitcoin might face further downward pressure if it breaks below critical support levels. This ratio reflects the balance between those expecting a price increase and those predicting a decrease.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>However, the ratio below 1.0 often indicates a higher number of short positions, hinting at bearish expectations.</p>

<p>On the flip side, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-analysis/with-bitcoin-near-70k-here-are-the-top-meme-coins-to-buy/">Bitcoin’s</a> open interest, a metric that tracks the total number of open positions in the underlying asset, has reached an all-time high of $39.46 billion across all exchanges. This surpasses the previous record of $39.03 billion set on March 29, 2024.</p> 
<p>The current peak indicates increased investor interest in Bitcoin, suggesting the potential for a breakout toward $71,500 mark, with the possibility of rallying to a new all-time high.</p>
