According to CryptoSlate, Martin Lee of DWF Labs pointed out that Bitcoin futures open interest reached 704,000 BTC this week, the highest level since September 24, while spot market liquidity continues to thin. The report emphasized that open interest includes long, short, and hedging positions simultaneously, and cannot be equated to net capital inflows. Futures positions can amplify rebounds through short squeezes or exacerbate declines through forced liquidations, with the ultimate direction still depending on spot liquidity. The above data and analysis are cited from the report.
