Traders are paying close attention
Overall, these markets reflect a sentiment biased toward sustained downward pressure in the short term, and a lack of confidence that prices can sustain a rebound above $70,000 within June. Funds are mainly concentrated in the downward range of $55,000 to $60,000, as well as the $65,000 retest range.
Bitcoin's current price of $63,826 sits between these two camps. In the coming weeks or even days, it will be decided which side ultimately wins.
