The claim that Bitcoin won’t reach $90K until next year hinges on low futures open interest, but this alone doesn’t tell the full story. While the Cointelegraph article notes "resilient basis rate and options data suggest limited downside," these factors don’t definitively rule out a rebound. For instance, the $23.8 billion in options expiries mentioned in StockTwits’ analysis could create short-term volatility, but they also represent potential catalysts for price movement. Additionally, Standard Chartered’s revised forecast (Reuters) reflects shifting expectations, not an immutable truth. Skeptics might ask: How reliable is open interest as a predictor here? Are there overlooked macroeconomic or adoption-driven factors? The sources cited have mixed trust scores, with some warnings of biased framing. Without stronger evidence, the "no $90K until next year" narrative feels premature. What’s your take on how other metrics—like on-chain activity or institutional adoption—might influence this?
