Bitcoin (BTC) has extended its rally, surpassing $73,000 and reaching a peak of $73,500 in the last 24 hours. This surge is driven by strong institutional demand, with U.S. Bitcoin ETF holdings reaching a record $66 billion.
Additionally, Bitcoin’s open interest grew by $2 billion in 48 hours, signaling heightened trading activity.

The positive outlook for Bitcoin is bolstered by the success of spot ETFs and favorable economic conditions. Investors anticipate that BTC needs to close above $76,000 to confirm a sustained breakout, indicating strong bullish momentum.
With growing institutional interest, market sentiment remains optimistic about Bitcoin's potential.
However, a new ETF partnership between China and Saudi Arabia could reduce demand for U.S. Bitcoin ETFs. If investors favor these new ETFs, inflows to U.S. markets may decrease, potentially dampening Bitcoin's price growth.
Impact of China-Saudi ETF Partnership on U.S. Bitcoin Market
China and Saudi Arabia's new $1 billion ETF partnership could affect the U.S. Bitcoin ETF market. Following Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Riyadh, both nations agreed to invest in each other's ETF markets to boost local investment appeal, potentially redirecting funds from U.S. Bitcoin ETFs, currently valued at approximately $68.5 billion.
This development reflects concerns about non-U.S. markets losing investors to American ETFs, which command a large share of global assets and trading activity.
In October, Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. drew over $3 billion in new investments, raising Bitcoin's price to around $72,500.
However, competition from the China-Saudi alliance could challenge this upward trend if local investors favor their new ETFs over U.S. options.
China's $2.13 Trillion Stimulus Could Drive Wealthy Investors to Bitcoin
Arthur Hayes, founder of BitMEX, argues that China's upcoming $2.13 trillion stimulus package might weaken the yuan, prompting wealthy Chinese investors to consider Bitcoin as a safe alternative.
Despite government restrictions, Hayes notes that many continue to trade Bitcoin via platforms like Binance and OKX.
He suggests the Chinese government's restrictions aim to obscure yuan devaluation rather than eliminate Bitcoin entirely.

Arthur Hayes predicts a Bitcoin surge driven by China's "monetary chemo." With increased yuan liquidity and a shift towards expansive monetary policies, capital may flood into Bitcoin as investors seek safe-haven assets.

China's plan includes a 10 trillion yuan borrowing package, funded by special bonds over three years. Hayes highlights that Bitcoin saw significant growth during the yuan’s depreciation in 2015, suggesting a similar response could occur this time.
While it may take time for Chinese investors to respond, increased stimulus could indeed boost Bitcoin demand, adding to its bullish outlook.
Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Eyes $73,850 Amid Key Support at $71,850
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $72,000, indicating a possible consolidation phase following a strong upward trend. The cryptocurrency recently completed a 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at the $71,850 level.
The appearance of a Doji candle around this level signals potential for a bullish reversal, suggesting that buying interest could emerge if BTC holds above $71,850.
However, caution is advised as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers above 70, indicating overbought conditions that may limit further gains in the short term.
Immediate resistance sits at $73,850, with higher targets at $75,070 and $76,630 if the upward momentum continues.
On the downside, key support levels are found at $71,840 and $70,640, with further support around the 50-day EMA at $69,110, which could stabilize any potential pullbacks.
While technical indicators hint at a bullish bias above $71,850, a break below this level might expose Bitcoin to further declines.
