Bitcoin Leverage Ratio Rises to 0.2405 As BTC Holds $81.1K

BTC leverage ratio at 0.2405 indicated most traders use borrowed capital.

If BTC holds $80K leverage, the price is expected to go up while liquidation could strike.

High volatility could be seen in the market as the risks keep on increasing.

Estimated leverage ratio across all markets has risen to 0.2405, stating the fact that more traders show an appetite for risk. Bitcoin now priced at $81.1K, showed that indeed more players are willing to use borrowed funds as leverage. Increased borrowings would mean amplification of risks and, therefore, more chances of liquidating positions-an increase in price volatility. Historically, at higher leverage spikes, the market usually incurs an upsurge in its turbulence

Correlation of Price Action With Leverage

The last week's events have linked price movement with leverage and Bitcoin's price closely. The leverage ratio reached an all-time high on March 9, when the price of Bitcoin surged to $92K. Such a sharp drop in leverage has been observed as a result of the temporary depression in prices recorded by March 12. Indeed, these oscillations do suggest a lot of reshuffling of positions among traders relative to fast-moving prices. The chart is showing incidents of leverage unwind being highly correlated with price pullbacks; thus further reinforcing the argument of high leverage levels driving profitability.

For momentum ranging depending on where the price closes, it would be above $80K, which is a significant argument. If the ratios continue to spike, they threaten short-term liquidation chances built into price declines. For as much as Bitcoin remains quite well above its $81K mark, it may have paved the road for a rally prolonged by its existing leverage. A potential push higher than $92K would provide further indication of strong market confidence, whereas a failure at key levels could lead to sharp downward pressure.

What is Bitcoin's Future on Leverage-based Momentum?

The markets are yet again going to get very treacherous. The stats for leverage remain sky-high. Market sentiments are optimistic, but with historical pricing at a peak, caution is definitely advised. If Bitcoin holds just above $80, then it could keep its bullish momentum. Even so, if leverage builds without price backing, then a decline in liquidations increases, making the path that Bitcoin is on even more ambiguous.
