Bitcoin futures open interest has reached $72 billion<\/strong>. This indicates increased leverage use by institutional investors. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)<\/strong> leads with $16.9 billion<\/strong> in open interest, followed by Binance<\/strong> with $12 billion. According to CoinGlass data<\/a><\/strong>, short positions worth $1.2 billion in the $107,000-$108,000 range face liquidation risk. This strengthens Bitcoin\u2019s potential to reach new highs. Rising institutional demand supports market optimism. However, BTC inability to break the $107,000 level since May 18 is noteworthy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The volume of leveraged positions could drive BTC to an all-time<\/strong> high. In particular, concerns about U.S. fiscal debt<\/strong> are fueling this rise. Disagreements between Democratic and Republican lawmakers are increasing economic uncertainty. Yields on 20-year U.S. Treasury<\/strong> bonds are hovering near 5%, up from 4.82%. Weak demand is pushing the U.S. Federal Reserve<\/strong> to intervene directly in the market. This weakens the U.S. dollar<\/strong>, driving investors toward alternative assets like Bitcoin.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gold Dominates, Bitcoin Shines in Reserve Allocations<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Gold<\/strong><\/a> continues to lead among alternative assets. However, with a 24% gain in 2025 and a $22 trillion market cap, it\u2019s becoming less attractive to some investors. For comparison, the S&P 500<\/strong> is valued at $53 trillion, and U.S. bank deposits stand at $18.6 trillion. Bitcoin, on the other hand, forms a $2.1 trillion asset class, comparable to silver.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some countries plan to shift 5% of their gold reserves to Bitcoin. This move could generate approximately $105 billion in new market inflows<\/strong>, equivalent to 1 million BTC at a price of $105,000 per BTC<\/a>. For instance, Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy<\/strong> company currently holds 576,230 BTC. As institutional investors buy Bitcoin, breaking the $108,000<\/strong> level becomes feasible. When the rally begins, investors close short positions, pushing prices to new record highs. On the other hand, macroeconomic uncertainties reduce investor sentiment and dampen market<\/strong> risk appetite.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin is approaching the $107,000 threshold. Short positions face the risk of forced liquidation. Investors are preparing for BTC bull run. Closely monitoring the market is critical.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
