⚠️ Open interest at $BTC is rising — and that could cost you big
When too many people bet at the same time, the market charges the bill.
📊 What the data says this week: → $1.500M in long positions liquidated all at once after the U.S. employment data → +$480M in long positions liquidated in 24h on June 5 alone → Open interest dropped from $42.000M to $28.400M in days — and funding rates turned negative Phemex + 2
💣 What is open interest and why does it matter?
It’s the total number of open contracts in futures and perpetuals. When it rises too much = too much leverage accumulated. When the price moves against it = cascading liquidations.
It’s called "cascading liquidation": the price breaks a level, contracts are forcefully closed, the price drops further, more contracts get liquidated... and so on. DiarioBitcoin
📉 The outcome this week: $BTC dropped below $60,000 — the employment data was +172K vs 130K expected, the probability of a rate cut in June fell from 32% to 8%. Phemex
🧠 The lesson: The market doesn’t punish those who make mistakes. It punishes those who are over-leveraged.
