Bitcoin futures trading explodes! May sees 90% dominance. What's driving the shift?

Bitcoin Futures – tradeCompass Bitcoin Analysis Today (March 25, 2025) Bitcoin futures are cooling off today after a strong rally on March 24, where price surged +4.38% intraday and closed the session up +3.31%. As of now, we’re seeing a healthy pullback of about -1.5%, with Bitcoin futures trading around $87,065. This pause is typical after such momentum, and today’s price action is hovering just below key volume-weighted levels. 🔍 Key VWAP Levels to Watch * Today’s VWAP: $87,400 * Yesterday’s VWAP: $87,640 🔼 Bullish Scenario (Only if price crosses $87,800) Bullish bias is triggered only if Bitcoin futures break and hold above $87,800. This would confirm strength and could open the path to the following upside targets: * $88,385 – Just below the Point of Control (POC) from March 24 * $88,625 – Close to the March 7 POC * $89,340 – Below the Value Area High (VAH) from March 7 * $90,790 – A more distant target, just under the March 3 VWAP These targets allow bulls to scale out positions and reduce risk as price moves higher. 🔽 Bearish Scenario (Only if price breaks below $86,645) If Bitcoin futures fall below $86,645, the bearish bias is activated. This level sits below a major support zone (March 7 VA Low), and if broken, may lead to: * $86,170 – Above March 19 VAH * $85,660 – Above March 14 VAH * $85,270 – Above March 20 VWAP * $84,020 – Above March 21 POC * $82,210 – Confluence level near March 18 POC and March 13 VWAP These zones can be used to lock in profits for bearish traders or guide stop placement. ⚖️ What to Watch Now: The market is in a holding pattern between $86,645 and $87,800. Until one side takes control, price may consolidate or whipsaw. This makes it critical to wait for confirmation at these thresholds before committing to a direction. This structure also helps answer today’s key question: ➡️ Is the rally from March 11 still building toward $90K? ⬅️ Or will we see a retracement toward deeper support? 📌 tradeCompass Insight for Bitcoin Traders Use this analysis as your decision support tool.
