According to James Van Straten, Bitcoin (BTC) remains stable around $105,000, showing resilience to the Federal Reserve's unchanged interest rates and geopolitical conflicts like the Israel-Iran war, with no drop below $100,000 for 42 days. This stability is driven by increasing corporate adoption of BTC as a treasury asset, with total holders rising to 235 entities. However, derivatives data from Velo indicates caution, as open interest fell to $55.3 billion and BTC's put/call ratio increased to 1.13, suggesting elevated risk of short-term volatility.
