Funding rates for some altcoins and memecoins turned deeply negative, potentially leading to a swift move higher in a short squeeze, QCP Capital noted.
Bitcoin, which underwent its quadrennial halving event during the weekend cutting the issuance of new supply in half, climbed over 3% over the past 24 hours, recently changing hands at $66,500. EtherThe bounce extended to digital asset-focused stocks, with shares of crypto exchange Coinbase and MicroStrategy rallying 7% and 12%.
Publicly listed miners Riot Platforms and Hut 8 surged 15%-20%, while Marathon Digital advanced 6% during the day, after transaction frenzy caused awith CoinDesk TV that bitcoin's halving"is not a bullish event" and warned of market weakness for the next few months, with potentially a deeper correction in the cards. The key reason would be miners offloading their BTC inventory worth $5 billion to keep their operations steady after having their revenue cut, he explained.
On the longer outlook, though, the past three halvings were followed by an exponential move higher for bitcoin's price about 50-100 days after the event, crypto hedge fund QCP Capital pointed out in a Monday market update."If this pattern is repeated this time, BTC bulls still have a few weeks to build a larger long position," the report said.
The fund also noted that funding rates – the cost leveraged derivatives traders need to pay for keeping their positions open – cooled off from very hot levels, and even turned into deep negative territory for some smaller cryptocurrencies, making them ripe for a swift move higher if"What we could see in the short-term is a short-squeeze led by altcoins and memecoins which have seen persistent negative funding, with some as deep as -100% ," QCP Capital said.
