Futures contracts are a type of bitcoin investment derivative where traders agree to buy bitcoin in the future at a pre-agreed price. Volumes on futures market picked up again on January 2, likely for two reasons. First, futures investors whose contracts have just expired have noticed a sharp rise in bitcoin's price and have made the decision to reinvest. Second, a whole host of new traders have witnessed Bitcoin's price dropping to below $ 30,000 recently. It is possible that they also wanted to join an uptrend at better market prices during a short pullback.

Moreover, the up trend is now going parabolic, almost vertical. The next mid-term target for bulls is seen at the level of $50,000. The nearest technical support is seen at the level of $32,000 and $30,000.

Trading Recommendations:
Bitcoin made another ATH and bulls are in control of the market.
