Bitcoin Climbs to $88,000 as Open Interest Falls to Six-Month Low of $29 Billion

Bitcoin reached $87,541.80 after briefly surpassing $88,000, but the recovery from $80,000 has failed to restore trader confidence. Open interest dropped to $29 billion, the lowest level since April, while the Fear and Greed Index fell to 15 points. Derivative markets show negative funding rates and increased volatility of 1.97%, the highest in six months.
