Bitcoin opened Monday with a clean upward structure, supported by clear signals across multiple hourly indicators. While the weekend was filled with hesitation, the start of the week brought decisive volume, healthy margin allocation, and fresh confidence from both large and smaller traders.
The MACD on the 1-hour chart is solidly positive, with the histogram showing sustained momentum, and the signal line comfortably trailing the MACD line. RSI(6) has pushed into the upper 80s, a rare zone that tends to hold if backed by volume and clear trend. In this case, we are seeing that volume is not only present, but evenly distributed across spot and margin trades, with no single imbalance to distort the picture.
More importantly, the money flow data shows a meaningful shift. The last 24 hours brought in over 83 BTC net inflow, with large orders increasing by over 40 BTC. Medium and small accounts followed in similar proportion, and the hourly donut chart shows an active tilt toward the buy side across all segments. The growth in margin debt, while volatile overnight, has stabilized and begun to climb again, suggesting that traders are not exiting risk but gradually layering in more exposure.
On the margin side, the long-short ratio moved from 35 to nearly 39 over the last few sessions, climbing in tandem with price and supported by isolated borrow activity. This indicates real positioning rather than shallow directional bets. The isolated borrow ratio has also remained elevated in short bursts, which often signals intentional entry rather than panic buying.
This setup is not euphoric, which makes it stronger. There is no sudden wick, no spike without structure, no blind vertical hop that typically ends in a cold retrace. Instead, we are seeing measured accumulation, spread across risk profiles, supported by steady margin engagement and confirmed by money flow from both large players and everyday wallets.
Of course, surprises can always arrive midweek, especially with Powell set to speak again and ETF narratives swirling in the background. But in the current environment, Bitcoin is doing what it does best when left alone, it climbs with purpose, ignores the noise, and lets the chart breathe.
If the structure holds into the European session, and no sudden exit appears in the long-short distribution, we may be watching the start of a clean move toward the higher band of the current range.
