Glassnode's latest weekly report indicates that Bitcoin slowly climbed from $77,000 to $82,000 last week, with buying pressure continuing to support during the pullback, even as momentum began to cool near local highs. The spot CVD surged, reflecting strong bullish sentiment and a firm belief in price increases. Meanwhile, spot trading volume also increased, indicating that the recent price trend gained more support with heightened investor participation. However, the easing of price momentum suggests that buying and selling pressures are becoming more balanced, implying that the market may be entering a stabilization phase.The situation in the futures market is similar, with a rise in risk appetite. The increase in open interest indicates heightened speculative activity, with investors willing to take on more risk; the perpetual contract CVD surged, indicating sustained bullish momentum. However, the decline in long funding rates suggests a shift towards bearish sentiment, and bullish sentiment may have weakened.In the options market, the demand for downside protection has decreased, while open interest has increased, indicating a shift in market expectations towards neutral or slightly bullish. However, the volatility spread has surged significantly, indicating that the risks reflected in options pricing are much higher than the actual risks, reflecting a notable increase in participant uncertainty.In summary, supported by stronger on-chain activity, healthier profitability, and more stable holder positions, Bitcoin's market structure continues to improve. Although bullish sentiment is strengthening, the slowdown in capital inflows and cautious market sentiment suggest that the market remains sensitive to changes in risk appetite.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin has risen from about $63,000 to over $80,000 in the past three months, with several key indicators currently pointing to a target of $85,000.On-chain, BTC has broken through two key supports: the "real market average" ($78,200) and the "short-term holder cost basis" ($79,100). Research firm Glassnode indicates that the next resistance level is around the active realized price of $85,200; on the futures front, the funding rate has shifted from negative to neutral, as significant short pressure has clearly eased, increasing the risk of a short squeeze; on the options front, market makers hold about $2 billion in "short gamma" exposure around $82,000, and a price increase will force them to continue hedging purchases, creating positive feedback. However, analysts warn that Bitcoin remains highly correlated with the tech sector of the U.S. stock market, and if the equity market shifts to risk-off, upward momentum may be suppressed.
