Bitcoin เข้าสู่ช่วงที่ตลาดไม่เชื่อมั่น เนื่องจากปริมาณเงินสำรองของ USDC ในตลาดแลกเปลี่ยนสูงกว่า 7.5 พันล้านดอลลาร์สหรัฐ

Bitcoin (BTC) has rallied 30% since its 2026 low of $60,000, and stablecoin balances on exchanges suggest the market has entered a disbelief phase, with roughly $7.5 billion in USDC on Binance highlighting readily deployable capital that traders could start positioning soon.

Negative funding rates fuel Bitcoin’s counter-trend

Data shows that derivatives market positioning has not kept pace with the bullish price trend. Crypto analyst Darkfost tracked the 30-day cumulative funding rate, which aggregates funding over time to reveal sustained positioning. The metric stands near -4.5%, reflecting a prolonged bearish bias against the current move.

The analyst explained that the negative funding creates conditions that incentivize traders to take the opposite side.

A comparable phase emerged in late 2022, when Bitcoin began to recover from its bear market. The funding dropped to nearly -7% before the price extended higher.

This indicates a phase in which persistent short exposure provides fuel for continuation as the dominant positions are challenged. Darkfost added,

“This context therefore indicates that the market has entered a phase of disbelief, where traders still prefer fighting the trend rather than following it.”

USDC liquidity builds for redeployment on Binance

The liquidity trends reinforce that setup. Bitcoin has fallen roughly 36% from its October 2025 high at $126,000, marking a deep correction.

Circle’s USDC (USDC) reserves on Binance show a recovery following an earlier drawdown. The USDC balance dropped to nearly $4.5 billion in early March, then climbed back to $7.51 billion by April 21.

From the November 2025 level of $8.32 billion, this still marks an 8.2% net decline, suggesting capital remains within the exchange rather than exiting it.

Market analyst CryptoOnChain explained that such behavior indicates sidelined funds waiting to enter. The stablecoin balances serve as available liquidity, or “dry powder,” that can be deployed quickly when the trader's conviction improves.

The exchange volumes add more context. Market analyst Maartunn noted that Binance has processed $1.09 trillion in trading volume in 2026 within 112 days. Other platforms trail, with MEXC at $284 billion, Bybit at $242 billion and Crypto.com at $219 billion.

The activity levels show traders are still engaged despite their cautious sentiment. With USDC reserves holding near $7.5 billion, the liquidity remains concentrated and available around key price zones.
