Bitcoin’s path to $80,000 fueled by bullish derivatives trends
2024-10-29

Bitcoin could surpass the $80,000 mark by the end of 2025 as derivatives markets and holder profitability show significant bullish signals, according to a report from crypto exchange Bitfinex shared with Cointelegraph.
The Bitcoin BTCUSD price could be heading above $80,000 based on the structure of the derivatives markets, Bitfinex analysts told Cointelegraph, with options markets showing potential for a post-United States election rally. They added:

On Oct. 28, Bitcoin surpassed the $70,000 psychological resistance for the first time since June 10, with BTC price just 3.77% lower from its all-time high of above $73,800. 
Investors are looking for the next major signal that could catalyze Bitcoin’s historic post-halving rally, which could come in less than a week with the US presidential elections.
US elections anticipation is driving higher Bitcoin ETF inflows
The upcoming elections are also inspiring more optimism in Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) buyers, which could contribute to Bitcoin’s price rise.
On Oct. 28, the US Bitcoin ETFs recorded over $479 million worth of net positive inflows — the second consecutive day above the $400 million mark — Farside Investors data shows.
Bitcoin ETF inflows have been robust over the past 12 trading days, surpassing a cumulative $4 billion, according to Natae Geraci, the president of ETF Store, who wrote in an Oct. 29 X post:

Geraci added that BlackRock’s IBIT ETF accounted for over $2.6 billion of these inflows during the past two weeks.
A victory for former President Donald Trump in the Nov. 5 US presidential election is widely seen as a bullish development for risk assets like Bitcoin, which has correlated with Trump’s rising election odds, Bitfinex analysts added.
Nearly 98% of Bitcoin holders are in profit
Fueling more optimism among crypto investors, nearly 99% of all Bitcoin holders are currently in profit as Bitcoin traded above $71,000.
Over 97.6% of all Bitcoin holders are profitable on their investment as of Oct. 29, according to CryptoQuant data.
However, the last time over 97% of the Bitcoin supply was in the green was on June 5, before Bitcoin price fell from above $71,100 to below $56,000 within a month.
