BTC/USD: Focus on spot market volume 

Bitcoin / United States DollarCoinbase

Description

Bitcoin's recent leg higher from 30K to 48K is accompanied by falling volumes (falling trendline on volume chart) on Coinbase, which is considered synonymous with institutions and high net worth individuals/entities.

As such, it looks to be a leverage-driven rally, which makes BTC vulnerable to overheating of funding rates (cost of holding longs).

Unless spot market volumes pick up, BTC now looks set for a pullback to 42K. I dont need to say that it will be a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
