Bitcoin's April gains shot up to 12.3%, a marked recovery from the 12% dip in the first quarter of 2025.
The rally hit bearish traders hard as nearly $516 million in short positions were wiped out in the last 24 hours.
However, if Bitcoin reversed to $90,000, over $677 million in bullish long bets were at risk of liquidation.
Bitcoin’s Open Interest lifted 12.18% in the last 24 hours to a new monthly high, while funds locked in Ethereum's futures contract soared 15%.
Interestingly, over 60% of Binance traders with open Bitcoin positions were betting against the leading cryptocurrency, according to the Long/Short Ratio.
The market sentiment dramatically shifted from “Fear” to "Greed," according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.
