Bitcoin has begun to recover after a brief decline triggered by the latest US 
Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. On July 15, the asset dropped to a low of 
$116,000 in response to news that inflation rose to 2.7% in June, amid 
continued concerns over tariffs from the Trump administration. As of this 
writing, Bitcoin is trading at $118,439, reflecting a 1.8% gain over the past 
24 hours, which suggests that some investor confidence has returned to the 
market despite recent volatility. This short-term rebound occurs amid 
increasing on-chain and market activity, which analysts are closely tracking. 
One such contributor, Trader Oasis, recently published an analysis on 
CryptoQuant outlining various indicators tied to Bitcoin’s current movement.

Blame? Bitcoin Open Interest, Price Divergence, and Institutional Signals The 
analyst explored a range of technical and behavioral metrics, including open 
interest, Coinbase premium index, and funding rates, that are influencing 
BTC’s recent price behavior and hinting at what may lie ahead. Trader Oasis 
began by noting that Bitcoin’s breach of the $107,000 resistance signaled the 
beginning of a potential distribution phase. He pointed out that a divergence 
between price and open interest acted as a preliminary bullish signal, 
preceding the asset’s climb. The current state, where both price and open 
interest are rising in tandem, is seen by some as a sign of strengthening 
momentum in the market. He also evaluated data from the Coinbase Premium 
Index, which remains above zero, typically seen as an indication of 
institutional demand. However, Oasis observed that the indicator&#8217;s flat 
behavior, even as price rises, could imply large entities are securing 
profits. He further suggested that a breakout above the descending trend line 
could trigger a stronger upward move, but a fall below zero might represent a 
new entry signal. Regarding funding rates, he noted that the current rise 
reflects renewed market confidence, although it is still below previous 
extreme levels. This, in his view, implies that while enthusiasm exists, 
excessive leverage is not yet present. Profit-Taking Rises as Binance 
Dominates Realized Flows A separate analysis by another CryptoQuant 
contributor, Crazzyblockk, looked at the realized profit and loss (PnL) across 
centralized exchanges. According to the data, Bitcoin investors realized $9.29 
billion in profits in a single day, marking a record high for such flows. This 
surge in realized PnL reflects widespread profit-taking in the wake of 
Bitcoin&#8217;s recent price rally, especially among short-term holders. Related

Coming? On Binance specifically, the realized PnL remains below its all-time 
highs but has seen a rising share compared to other exchanges. Data shows that 
on some days, Binance&#8217;s share of realized profits has reached up to 60%, 
reinforcing its growing importance in shaping market behavior. Crazzyblockk 
concluded that this concentrated profit-taking, led by Binance users, could 
indicate a shift in market dynamics, noting: Binance&#8217;s increasing dominance in 
realized PnL flows reinforces its critical role in market sentiment and 
liquidity. For traders and analysts, it is crucial to closely monitor 
Binance&#8217;s on-chain activity alongside other exchanges to stay ahead of 
potential volatility. Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from
