Bitcoin briefly climbed above $107,000 before retracing to $105,000 amidst market uncertainty.
The premium on CME’s Bitcoin futures contracts has dropped to 4.3% annualized, the lowest level since October 2023, indicating a decline in institutional enthusiasm.
Analyst Markus Thielen suggests institutions are becoming more cautious as the premium fell from 10% earlier this year, despite Bitcoin holding above $100,000.
The shrinking futures premium signifies reduced confidence in aggressive upward moves and a more uncertain market outlook.
