On Tuesday, the broader crypto market's rallying momentum picked up its pace after investment banking giant Goldman Sachs completed its first crypto OTC transaction in the form of a BTC non-deliverable option transaction. The endorsement from a top institution like Goldman seems to have imbued new confidence in investors within the crypto space. BTC, for one, leapt past the $43k handle in the early hours on Tuesday (Asian trading hours) before retracing down a descending channel. Even with this recent correction, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap is still up by 0.9% over the last 24 hours, and is currently looking for support at the $42.3k level (as of the time of writing). In a similar vein, ETH has managed to stay firmly above the $2,900 level despite experiencing a marginal loss from 24 hours ago. A bullish case for ETH seems to be building up as the ETH open interest on CME and other centralised crypto exchanges has just plunged to levels last seen only in July of 2021, constituting a possible bottom signal. A strong demand for ETH calls within the options market only serves to strengthen the bull thesis. Meanwhile, most major altcoins have also largely flipped green, with DOT and ADA leading the rallying charge.
