BlockBeats News, December 29th, QCP Capital analysis pointed out that BTC rose by about 2.6% in early trading, with insufficient holiday liquidity leading to price distortion. Bitcoin was driven more by spot and perpetual buying pressure rather than liquidation-driven. The BTC perpetual funding rate on Deribit rose to over 30%, indicating that traders are in a short gamma state in the upward direction. If the price holds above $94,000, there may be an amplified hedging buying pressure.

On the downside, December $85,000 put options were not rolled over, with open interest dropping by about 50% after the options expired, reflecting a market wait-and-see sentiment, where directional choices may need to wait for liquidity to return.
