A financial expert has analyzed Bitcoin’s Open Interest and found a pattern that could indicate a significant price drop.
What is Open Interest?
Open Interest measures the total value of Bitcoin derivative contracts currently active on exchanges. When it increases, it usually means more people are opening derivative positions, which can increase market volatility. Conversely, a decrease suggests investors are closing or being liquidated from positions, often leading to price stability.
Historical Pattern
The analyst compared the current Open Interest trend to November 2021, when Bitcoin reached its all-time high. Both periods saw a surge in Open Interest followed by a decline.
Implications for Bitcoin
The expert suggests that if the pattern repeats, Bitcoin could experience a further price drop. This is because the high Open Interest indicates excessive speculation and leverage, which can lead to a correction when the market turns.
Current Market Conditions
Despite the concerns, Bitcoin has recently rebounded after falling to $60,700. However, it remains to be seen whether the Open Interest trend will continue to follow the historical pattern and lead to a more significant pullback.
