BTC Fear Index 18, Whales are secretly buying

The market is currently in a panic, with a greed index of only 18, and retail investors are cutting losses at the fastest rate since 2018.

However, the liquidation map shows that there are 1.923 billion in short positions piled up above $90,903. The big players are not foolish; the more panic there is, the happier they are, and low-position chips are being quietly absorbed.

The $86,000 range is just the institutional cost zone. As long as the support at $85,313 is held, a raid against the shorts above $90,000 could be launched at any time. A comprehensive bearish funding rate means that the long positions have a very low cost, making the odds of this contrarian bet quite attractive.
