【Matrixport: Bitcoin is currently in a consolidation phase, and a surge may reignite in 2025】According to Golden Finance, Matrixport released today's chart stating that Bitcoin is currently digesting the recent surge over the past few weeks. During this period, the futures open interest surged from $18 billion in October to $29 billion, an increase of 50%. Meanwhile, the funding rate for Bitcoin skyrocketed from over 10% to a peak of over 80%. Historical data shows that after such rapid positioning, there is usually a brief consolidation phase before the bull market may continue. This pattern may reappear, especially during the Christmas holiday period when trading volume is relatively light. Traders are now looking toward the new year, anticipating whether there will be new capital inflows to drive prices up and reignite the surge.
