Bitcoin Records Heavy Daily Trading Volume Across Exchanges as It Nears $20,000

Bitcoin (BTC) remains in the business of recording new year-to-date highs, as the cryptocurrency finally crosses the $19,000 benchmark after a slightly-extended waiting period, taking it closer to its $20,000 target. The fresh surge in volatility has triggered immense trading traffic across all BTC markets—especially the Bitcoin futures market.

Data from the cryptocurrency market and on-chain analysis firm Glassnode shows that the open interest on Binance futures has just reached a new all-time high at $1.2 billion. This surge comes as the benchmark cryptocurrency turned the $19,000 level into support as the cryptocurrency aims for its ATH of $20,000.

More interestingly, the 24-hour Bitcoin futures volumes on the exchange are currently trading miles away than all other platforms in the sector. Binance is running with close to $11 billion worth of Bitcoin futures trades, while Huobi is somewhere behind with $8.3 billion worth of BTC futures volume in the past 24 hours.

Apart from the futures market, the spot cryptocurrency trading volume on Binance was equally off the charts.

Meanwhile, the creator of the Bitcoin stock-to-flow model, PlanB, took to his Twitter today to say that the benchmark cryptocurrency was entering the beginning of a new bull market.

Meanwhile, our key resistance levels are at $19,330, $19,500, and $20,000. While our key support levels are at $18,500, $18,000, and $17,635.
