Bitcoin futures open interest just hit levels we haven't seen since 2022. What's striking here is what this tells us about the broader market conditions. When you see OI dropping this sharply, it's a pretty clear signal that traders are actively unwinding positions and deleveraging across the board. The reduction in leverage this steep doesn't happen casually—it typically reflects either shifting market sentiment or investors tightening their risk management. Worth keeping an eye on how this plays out.

Leverage has dropped significantly again, now the show begins. Let's see who runs away first.

The leveraged liquidation wave is really quite frightening this time.

Leverage is running, and the mouse trap is crashing. Things are about to get interesting.

ngl, watching OI tank like this hits different... it's basically the market's way of saying "time to tighten up" lmao. been timing exits since the last leverage cycle and honestly? this deleveraging window feels oddly optimal, if you know what i mean
