- Bitcoin’s surge boosted derivatives sentiment and market engagement.
- Altcoin funding rates show confidence in rally.
- Geopolitical and monetary risks pose challenges.
Bybit and Block Scholes released a report on January 15, 2026, showing improved sentiment in crypto derivatives as Bitcoin surged to a two-month high near $98,000.
This indicates a positive market shift with increased open interest and higher altcoin funding rates, suggesting potential volatility amid geopolitical and monetary policy uncertainties.
The latest Crypto Derivatives Analytics report from Bybit and Block Scholes shows a marked improvement in derivatives sentiment. Bitcoin’s recent rise to a two-month high of $98,000 has uplifted the market landscape.
The report highlights rising perpetual futures open interest, exceeding $8 billion across major tokens. Han Tan, Chief Market Analyst at Bybit, remarks on Bitcoin’s resilience amid geopolitical shocks and emphasizes potential turbulence ahead.
“Cryptos have braved past geopolitical shockers at the onset of 2026, appearing intent on catching up with other risk assets. Recent gains bode well for our 2026 Bitcoin target of $150,000, though the road ahead will likely be marked by turbulence as geopolitical and U.S. monetary policy risks cloud the macro outlook.” — Han Tan, Chief Market Analyst at Bybit Learn
The cryptocurrency market, buoyed by Bitcoin’s rally, has seen increased open interest, especially in altcoins like SOL, XRP, and DOGE. This points to improved trader confidence and market activity. CoinCodex provides comprehensive insights into these market dynamics.
Important financial shifts, such as higher funding rates for certain altcoins, signal a positive market sentiment. However, geopolitical and U.S. monetary policy risks continue to threaten stability.
Numerous factors, including a neutral volatility skew in short-dated BTC and ETH options, play crucial roles in sustaining market optimism. Futures premiums remain high, indicating investor confidence in current trends. For further analysis, visit CryptoRank.
