Wall Street Open: Bitcoin Continues to Rebound
As the market entered the November 20th Wall Street open, Bitcoin (BTC) continued to maintain pressure on the $94,000 mark. The price of BTC has been steadily increasing, with a notable rebound from lows of $91,500. This move is characteristic of bullish behavior and indicates that investors are still optimistic about the future of cryptocurrency.
New All-Time Highs Dislodge Dormant Coins
According to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView, BTC/USD staged another significant rebound, reaching new all-time highs of $94,374 on Bitstamp. This price increase has led to a surge in trading activity, with many investors buying up dips in the market.
Trader Skew Observes Shifting Liquidity Conditions
Trader Skew took note of the shifting liquidity conditions on exchange order books. In one of his latest posts on X, he queried whether the sudden interest was driven by fear-of-missing-out (FOMO) or a genuine belief in the long-term prospects of Bitcoin.

Mid-$90,000 Area Could be Next Stop for BTC/USD
In a separate post on X, fellow trader CrypNuevo reiterated that the mid-$90,000 area could be the next stop for BTC/USD before a fresh consolidation phase. He warned that a reversal from this level is likely and that investors should focus on buying opportunities during the pullback.
"Not expecting to break $100k in the first attempt so looking for a reversal from mid-high $90ks, around $96k zone. Then, focus on the next buying opportunities during the pullback." – CrypNuevo
Research Warns of Market Top Territory
However, not everyone is optimistic about the future of Bitcoin. Onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant warned that long-term holders are distributing BTC at current prices, which can be a sign of market top territory.
"Market tops often occur when long-held Bitcoin is reactivated." – CryptoQuant
The Coin Days Destroyed metric measures the dormancy of BTC held in a given address and has already reached classic top territory. CryptoQuant advised watching for this metric to spike above 15-20 million as a key signal of market top.

Bitcoin ETF Options Success Adds to Bullish Mood
Despite the warnings, optimism remains high in the cryptocurrency market. The success of options trading on asset manager BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) exchange-traded fund (ETF) has added to the bullish mood.
Industry Executive Notes Bets on BTC/USD Finishing Above $100,000
Industry executive Joe Consorti noted that the first day of options trading was a resounding success, with many bets being placed on BTC/USD finishing the year above $100,000.
Trading Firm QCP Capital Positive on Launch
Trading firm QCP Capital was equally positive on the launch, noting that the activity has placed IBIT among the top 20 most active non-index options. This, they believe, underscores the growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a mainstream asset class.
"This market response is likely to attract new investor cohorts and enable diversified trading strategies, which could help reduce both volatility and downside risk, solidifying Bitcoin’s place in mainstream markets." – QCP Capital
