Bitcoin Price Surges Above $90,000, Retail Bulls Return, Poain Staking Draws Interest

Bitcoin closed 2025 on a high note by significantly breaking the $90,000 level on December 29, peaking at over $90,200, up more than 3% and thus setting the

market direction for the upcoming year 2026.

Retail Bullish Sentiment Returns: Futures Funding Rates Reach Recent Peaks

This rally, in large part, was driven by short-term retail traders who actively

increased their long positions in the futures market. CryptoQuant data showed that the funding rate for Bitcoin has hit 0.007314%, its highest point since October 18th and a 155.7% rise compared to the previous level. Funding rates on major

exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and OKX are still within the positive range of 0.007%-0.01%, which corresponds to a notable rise in demand from investors for

bullish leveraged positions.

Market Rebuilding After Leveraged Liquidations: Open Interest Recovers but Still Has Room to Grow

During the past quarter of 2025, the crypto market saw a pause and recovery phase following the massive liquidations of leveraged positions in October. At

present, the total open interest in Bitcoin futures stands at $5.703 billion (648K BTC), down 1.46% in 24 hours, but a significant recovery from the recent deep level. Still, the current figure is a long way from the October peak, indicating that the market is yet to become “overheated”, risks are quite controlled, and there is room for further movements.

Ethereum Stages a Synchronized Counterattack: Mainstream Assets Regain Correlation

Ethereum (ETH) has climbed back over $3,000, fueled by Bitcoin’s rally and the leading role of BTC. The simultaneous rise of mainstream assets is an important

signal of the return of market confidence, and investors are revisiting the value in allocation of crypto assets for 2026.

Poain Staking Platform Attracts Attention

During the market recovery, the Poain staking platform has attracted the attention of investors. It features several fixed-term staking plans, such as a $1000/7-day BTC staking contract (daily return of $15), and offers a multi-level referral reward model. The platform reports having raised more than $2.8 million in its presale,

with the PEB token currently trading at $0.01 and a listing price of $2.5 planned. However, the project is yet to secure main token databases certification, and its

TVL and user figures have not been confirmed by a third-party. Investors should be very cautious when assessing the risks.

Analysts advise that investors keep a very close eye on the $90,000 support level and its stability. If this should be the case in early 2026, together with the orderly increase of open interest in the futures market, the crypto market may see a new round of structural rebound.
