Why It Matters: Bitcoin is trading up 5.9% at $59,500, while Ether is trading up 8% at $2,590.
However, according to QCP Capital, Ethereum continues to underperform its counterpart, Bitcoin.
The report cites ongoing liquidations by the trading firm Jump Trading, which still holds a significant $63.6 million position in wrapped staked Ethereum.
Additionally, the movement of 25,757 ETH ($63.1 million) from Plus Token Ponzi 2 wallets in the last 30 hours has created a potential cap on the upside in the near term.
Interestingly, QCP Capital remains bullish on Bitcoin, noting significant call buying activity in the December and March expiries.
The report also highlights that major funds are continuing to roll their September long call positions, further reinforcing the positive sentiment around the leading cryptocurrency.
As the digital asset landscape continues to evolve, these fund flow dynamics and market insights will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion at Benzinga’s Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
