Azcnews Bitcoin Falls To $70,800 As Open Interest Hits All Time High

Bitcoin is currently trading around $70,800, maintaining a narrow range for the past few days.

Recent data indicates that Bitcoin’s open interest in derivatives has reached an all-time high. CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn has published the latest chart on Bitcoin’s open interest, which represents the total number of active derivative positions across all exchanges.

An increase in this metric signifies that investors are opening new positions in the market. As this trend develops, the overall leverage in the industry rises, potentially leading to greater volatility in Bitcoin’s price.


As depicted in the chart, Bitcoin’s open interest surged at the beginning of the year as the cryptocurrency’s price rebounded to new all-time highs. During this spike, the indicator surpassed the previous record set during the peak of the 2021 bull market. However, both the price and the open interest saw a decline in mid-March.

With Bitcoin’s recent recovery, the trend in open interest has reversed once more, as investors quickly establish new positions. The indicator has now exceeded the highs observed earlier this year and has maintained that level for some time.

It appears that speculative activity has robustly returned to the market, with the increase in open interest possibly leading to significant price movements for the cryptocurrency. As leverage escalates, the likelihood of mass liquidations rises, which can trigger market turbulence.

In a previous post, Maartunn noted that the total open interest in the cryptocurrency sector was nearing its all-time high, suggesting that Bitcoin is not the only asset experiencing a surge in speculative demand.
