Bitcoin Open Interest Increase and Its Market Impact

Bitcoin's Open Interest rose to $27.9 billion, indicating increased leveraged market activities.

Current State of Bitcoin Open Interest

Bitcoin's Open Interest increased to $27.9 billion, indicating a surge in leveraged market activities. This rise followed a significant pump of $3.3 billion, equivalent to a 13% increase. In the past, increases in Open Interest have led to unpredictable price changes, as seen on February 20 and March 4. Traders are advised to manage risk due to the leveraged-driven pump.

Bitcoin's Current Trading Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin seemed to be maintaining a trading price of around $83k. However, high leverage could potentially lead to market liquidations. A decrease in long positions could trigger a rapid price pullback towards the $70,000 to $80,000 range. In the past, when Open Interest exceeded 10%, the price fell by 5-8%. Similar trends were observed on February 22 and March 6. Current market conditions create opportunities for short sellers to profit from possible liquidations.

Investor Reaction to Weak Demand

A significant decrease in BTC demand was observed from December 2024 to March 2025. Bitcoin trading experienced a low annual demand of -100k BTC in mid-March 2025 after reaching a peak demand of 105k Bitcoin in early December 2024. The downturn in market value, along with a negative demand zone structure, indicated strong investor caution. The situation worsened as the 30-day sum held positions below the demand line while BTC’s price dropped from 105k to about 77k. Investors are shifting their investments to safer assets amidst these uncertain times as Bitcoin's price and market demand decline. This suggests that BTC holders of long positions could face significant risks as market conditions seem to lay the groundwork for a potential bear market. If the price falls below the $80K level and demand turns negative at -100k, the market could expose leveraged long position holders to forced sell-offs. This could result in substantial losses for holders, as analysis indicated bearishness when demand remained below -100k since last December.

Bitcoin investors show caution due to the rise in open interest and weak demand, potentially leading to further price declines.
