everage is down 30% and outflows are growing as traders shift to a more sustainable stance.
Bitcoin (BTC) is showing signs of stabilization after a sharp reset in leveraged trading, with on-chain data suggesting that investors are quietly moving into accumulation mode.
According to analytics firm Glassnode, Bitcoin’s open interest, a measure of outstanding futures positions, has dropped by about 30% in recent weeks.
The decline effectively flushed excess leverage out of the system, leaving the market “far less vulnerable to another liquidation cascade,” the firm said.
At the same time, data from CryptoQuant shows Binance’s Bitcoin netflows have turned sharply negative, meaning more BTC is being withdrawn from the exchange than deposited.
“This suggests that investors prefer holding over selling, which typically aligns with accumulation phases in market cycles,” said CryptoQuant analyst Burak Kesmeci.
Bitcoin slipped 2.77% over the past 24 hours to $108,131, extending its weekly decline. The drop followed a failed attempt to hold the $112,000, sparking renewed automated selling. The downturn mirrors broader market weakness, highlighted by a sharp October 10 flash crash that briefly dragged the BTC price down to around $105,000.
Why This Matters
The data suggests a healthier market structure, with leverage easing, selling pressure subsiding, and investors positioning for the next phase of the cycle.
