Futures Market Shows Strong Bullish Conviction<br \/>\nBitcoin analyst Axel Adler Jr. highlighted a bullish cluster of long positions forming around $94,400, similar to late April\u2019s setup that propelled BTC to $97,500.<\/p>\n<p>Open interest (OI) up $189M \u2013 Indicates fresh capital entering the market.<\/p>\n<p>Volume up 15% \u2013 Confirms sustained buying interest despite recent dips.<\/p>\n<p>2.
