As of the time of writing this, the leading cryptocurrency has reached $8,290 — the highest price the BTC has traded at since the local top at $8,450 put in on January the 7th — from the $8,050 daily low put in on Monday. While this 3% jump is far from a stable uptrend, analysts are convinced that the crypto market’s short-term rally isn’t done yet.

The chart shows that the most optimistic scenario for any market is if the asset’s price, volume, and open interest for its futures market rise in tandem, suggesting “strength,” “bullish” price action, and an overall trend of prices rising.
