BTC 15-minute surge of 0.84%: Upward momentum driven by insufficient liquidity and the resonance between futures premium arbitrage
2026-04-05 15:15 to 15:30 (UTC), the BTC price fluctuated within the 66,938.9 to 67,529.9 USDT range, with a 15-minute return of +0.84% and a volatility (amplitude) of 0.88%. During the same period, market trading activity increased: the number of active on-chain addresses over 10 minutes reached 420,690, short-term buying sentiment improved, and attention to the market was boosted.
The main drivers behind this move are persistent liquidity tightness in the spot and derivatives markets. Current trading volume is significantly lower than the range since the end of 2023, and the threshold for buy-side pressure to push prices higher has dropped markedly.
