The Bitcoin Volatility Index rose to 60.2 yesterday, with a daily increase of 1.9%

On October 27th, the BitVol (Bitcoin volatility) index launched by financial index company T3 Index and Bitcoin options trading platform LedgerX rose to 60.2, with a daily increase of 1.9%. Note: The BitVol index measures the 30-day expected implied volatility derived from tradable Bitcoin options prices.

Argentinian presidential candidate Patricia Bullrich drops out of the race and hints at support for Bitcoin supporter Javier Milei

Argentina presidential candidate Patricia Bullrich said she has reconciled with Bitcoin supporter Javier Milei, who will compete in next month's election, but she did not express direct support for the new liberal elite. Bullrich was cautious in her words on Wednesday. Previously, her pro-business alliance only received 24% support in the October 22nd election, ranking third and was eliminated. Milei won 30% of the vote, ranking second, second only to economic minister Sergio Tomás Massa's 37% vote. "We cannot remain neutral," Bullrich told reporters in Buenos Aires, "this country is in danger." Bullrich's support, as well as former president Mauricio Macri's support, makes Milei more competitive than Massa in the November 19th election.&nbsp;

Mexican Senator Indira Kempis Pushes for Bitcoin to be Part of Political Agenda

Mexican Senator Indira Kempis is pushing for Bitcoin to become a part of her political agenda, after introducing a bill last year to create a central bank digital currency. Initially, the bill did not mention Bitcoin or decentralized assets, but Kempis modified it to include the cryptocurrency. Despite facing backlash from the crypto community, Kempis remains optimistic and hopes to communicate to the Mexican public where legislators stand on the bill. While Mexico has a blossoming tech scene and a tech-savvy population, the bill still has a long way to go before it becomes law.

Bitcoin dominance hits 30-month high

The BTC dominance rate, which measures Bitcoin's market value relative to the entire digital asset market, has soared to 54.4%, the highest level since April 2021. A ratio of over 50% means that Bitcoin's market value exceeds the sum of all other cryptocurrencies. The index has fluctuated between 39% and 49% over the past two years until it broke through this range in mid-June. This breakthrough coincided with the news that BlackRock had applied for a spot BTC ETF in the US, causing the Bitcoin price to rise above $30,000. Market data shows that BTC prices have risen 32% in the past month.

Bitcoin's Price Rally Leads to $230 Million in Liquidated Bearish Futures Contracts and Increase in Open Interest

The recent surge in Bitcoin's price has resulted in the liquidation of $230 million worth of bearish futures contracts, while the open interest in BTC futures has increased from $13.1 billion to $14 billion. The increase in futures open interest suggests that demand for new leveraged positions outpaced forced closures, indicating a "gamma squeeze" caused by arbitrage desks being forced to hedge short positions. There are several theories circulating on social media, including Changpeng Zhao using BNB as collateral for margin on Venus Protocol to shore up the price of BNB token, but these speculations cannot be confirmed. Despite ongoing speculation regarding the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF, there is enough evidence to support a healthy influx of funds, justifying a rally beyond the $35,000 mark.

82% of Bitcoin Holders Are "In the Money" with Strong Momentum for Leading Cryptocurrency

Bitcoin's price has reached $34,795, with a 25% increase in just one week. This has resulted in 82% of all Bitcoin wallet addresses being "In the Money", according to data from IntoTheBlock.

However, trend signals suggest that the bullish momentum for Bitcoin may continue, with an increase in "In the Money" holders, buy orders on exchanges, and derivatives.
