Bitcoin traders bet big, but is this rally built on fragile leverage?

Main Idea

Bitcoin's market shows strong bullish signals with high open interest and funding rates, but exchange inflows and miner behavior suggest potential volatility and caution among traders.

Key Points

1. Bitcoin's Open Interest holds near $42 billion with elevated Funding Rates, indicating strong leveraged bullish positioning.

2. Exchange netflows turned positive (+871 BTC in 24 hours), signaling potential sell-side activity and growing caution among holders.

3. Miners’ Position Index (MPI) is negative (-0.92), suggesting miners are holding coins, which could support the rally if the trend continues.

4. The NVT Golden Cross (-1.96) suggests Bitcoin may be undervalued relative to on-chain activity, supporting the bullish case.

5. Bitcoin's price stability above $117,000 is crucial; a break below could shift momentum, while holding may renew bullish confidence.

Description

Bitcoin’s bullish momentum faces risks from rising exchange inflows and overbought RSI conditions.
