Market Developments
- BTC experienced a major open interest decline, with Binance seeing a $4 billion drop, Bybit over $3 billion, and Gate more than $2 billion.
- This event led to reduced leverage, indicating shaken market confidence and slow price recovery.
- A significant leverage reset suggests increased market stability, reducing the risk of liquidations and establishing a healthier foundation for future BTC movements.
