The recent surge in Bitcoin (BTC) to a new high point has led to a significant increase in spot trading volumes. CryptoQuant reported a massive pump at Binance, with its spot trade volume increasing by $3.1 billion from July 13 to an equivalent of $8.4 billion on July 14. This was a 2.7x rise since Bitcoin hit a new all-time high.
Apart from Binance, the total trading volume in all the exchanges increased as well. The summation of spot trading volume increased by 2.6x to the value of $12.7 billion. This growth can be attributed to a surge in market participation with more traders taking advantage of the high momentum of Bitcoin. The increasing volumes of trading emphasize the increased demand for BTC when it reached its all-time high price.
The trading volume of Binance was considerably larger after the price climb of Bitcoin compared to the other exchanges. This was despite the boom in the values of other exchanges. 24-hour trade volume on Binance aggregated to $8.8 billion the next day after the king coin peaked.

Other exchanges dropped to $9.5 billion, representing 25 percent lower than the previous day. This diversion highlights the growing share of Binance in the BTC trading arena.
This period also saw the increase in the percentage of the Bitcoin spot trading volume on Binance. The proportion of Binance has also grown over BTC before reaching its all-time high of 39 to 48%. This rise shows that the platform has made a comeback in the cryptocurrency exchange market. This superiority of Binance can be seen as the capacity to obtain a bigger share in BTC trading, especially when its price is moving by a large percentage.
Coinglass also recorded an uptick in open interest against BTC futures. An increase by 1.48% was seen in open interest at $ 86.75 billion. Trading volumes in BTC derivatives also increased by 24.74% to hit the $115.50 billion mark.
As of press time, BTC is valued at nearly $119,985, with a 2.16% increase over the past 24 hours. The price has been posting upbeat movements with the support of the 50-day moving average, which is moving under the present price.
The bullish view is also justified by MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator. The MACD line (blue) is over the signal line (orange). This indicates a positive market momentum. Green histogram bars also show that there is still pressure to buy in the market. The current MACD of 8.43, however, reveals that the strength of the momentum is slowing down and the price growth might decrease as well.
The current BTC support level is located at $98,164.17, while the resistance lies at $119,954.43. Bitcoin can still encounter resistance at higher levels as long as it holds above the support, possibly surpassing the $121,000 mark. Conversely, when the price drifts below the support line, there could be a probability of a pullback situation to test the lower price in the Bitcoin market.
The recent price boom of BTC has so far led to high trading volumes, especially on Binance. Bullish momentum that has been in the platform of BTC-based trading is backed by good technical pointers, with the trading activity showing more signs of rising. Nonetheless, market players should be watchful and keep an eye on major support and resistance zones to determine how the price might move in the future.
