Bitcoin Faces Potential Recovery Amid Sharp Liquidations and Funding Rate Rebound
Main Idea
Bitcoin and Ethereum experienced sharp price corrections due to a massive liquidation wave and negative funding rates, but early signs of market recovery are emerging.
Key Points
1. BTC and ETH saw significant price drops with Ethereum Open Interest falling nearly $10 billion and Bitcoin shedding over $5 billion in a 48-hour liquidation event.
2. The ETH/BTC ratio dropped from 0.0325 to 0.0307, indicating relative weakness in Ethereum compared to Bitcoin.
3. Funding Rates on Binance briefly turned negative for both BTC (-0.003%) and ETH (-0.006%) on August 1st, signaling bearish sentiment, but rebounded by August 2nd (BTC +0.0042, ETH +0.0063).
4. Liquidation heatmaps revealed key resistance zones at $117,000 for BTC and $3,600 for ETH, where leveraged longs were wiped out.
5. The corrections were primarily driven by a $15 billion Futures Open Interest liquidation wave and temporary negative funding rates, though improving rates suggest potential stabilization.
