Why Bitcoin is up 1.9% today
Analysis
Bitcoin rose 1.9% over the past 24 hours as traders appeared to respond to improving technical sentiment, with Cointelegraph highlighting a first TD9 reversal signal since July 2022 that some interpret as a potential trend shift. The move came despite continued focus on ETF-flow uncertainty and hedging activity—CryptoPotato noted questions around where ETF demand has gone, while CoinDesk reported options traders paying up for downside protection even as BTC hovered near its 2024 lows—suggesting the bounce may have been driven more by technical positioning than fresh inflow strength.
