Dynamic Power
A study of Bitcoin and ETH price dynamics using the popular Ichimoku cloud tech shows more bullish signals if history repeats itself. The short-term momentum has risen above the long-term trend. In the last 5 years, both tokens are significantly higher 1 year after each such crossover.

Option contract
One look at a position in the options market shows that the trader is betting on a bullish continuation. The number of open positions (OI) for calls with an exercise price of 80,000 US dollars, which expire in December 2021, far exceeds the put OI of 40,000 US dollars, according to the exchange.
Options say Bitcoin will have a range of 40,000 to 80,000 by the end of the year.
