Bitfinex saw its Bitcoin longs hit a six-month high with 80,333 BTC. This leap in leveraged positions, worth $6.92 billion, is sparking debates about a potential BTC price spike.
Despite previous leverage increases, Bitcoin prices don't always rise accordingly. Meanwhile, borrowing costs for Bitcoin remain low, offering investors arbitrage opportunities.
Still, the market is cautious, with global economic concerns and inflation fears influencing sentiment. All this points to a complex dance in crypto markets, where increased margin longs don’t guarantee a bullish run.
