K33: The Bitcoin derivation market is forming a "dangerous" pattern.
PANews reported on November 19 that a recent report by research firm K33 indicates that the Bitcoin derivation market is showing a "dangerous" and concerning structural trend, as traders are increasing aggressive leverage amid a deepening pullback. Data shows that open interest in perpetual futures surged by over 36,000 BTC last week, marking the largest weekly increase since April 2023, while the funding rate continues to rise, indicating that traders are using high leverage to buy the dip. Vetle Lunde, the company's research director, stated that these leveraged long positions have become a potential source of selling pressure in the market, significantly increasing the risk of heightened fluctuation due to liquidation. Historical data shows that there have been seven similar market structures in the past five years, six of which continued to fall in the following month, with an average decline of -16%.
The report also pointed out that Bitcoin is facing ETF funding.
