Bitcoin's price increased from about $83,500 to $86,500 alongside a rise in open interest for futures and perpetual contracts by roughly 27,000 BTC, reaching around 653,000 BTC on October 2. This indicates more outstanding positions in the market but does not clarify whether traders are predominantly bullish or bearish. The increase in open interest, valued at about $2.3 billion, coincided with a scheduled U.S. employment report release, providing market context but not a direct cause. Funding rates, which affect the cost of holding long positions, remain an important factor in understanding trader sentiment in perpetual futures contracts.
