Bitcoin futures market sees big drop in open interest: What’s next?

The Bitcoin ( BTC ) derivatives market has experienced a heavy leverage flush over the past two weeks through April 13. The Bitcoin Futures Open Interest 7-day change – a metric that shows the weekly shift in aggregate BTC futures open interest – had dropped to approximately -3% at the time of reporting, according to data from CryptoQuant . Essentially, Bitcoin traders have been closing positions or getting liquidated faster than new positions are being opened. Bitcoin Futures Open Interest 7-day change.

What’s next for Bitcoin price amid rising deleveraging? The midterm outlook for Bitcoin price faces a potential short squeeze – a bull rally fueled by short sellers capitulating – catalyzed by the negative funding rate for its futures market amid renewed spot demand. Notably, the Bitcoin 7-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) funding rate – which shows total futures open positions across Binance , Bybit, and OKX – transitioned from a positive zone of 0.33% to a negative zone of 0.17%, according to analytics from CryptoQuant . A negative funding rate means shorts are paying longs, indicating that the market is net short and structurally positioned for a squeeze if spot demand accelerates.

For example, the U.S. spot BTC ETFs closed last week with a total net cash inflow of more than $816 million, led by BlackRock’s IBIT . Last week, Strategy Inc. ( MSTR ) acquired 13,927 Bitcoin for over $1 billion, thus increasing its holdings to 780,897 BTC. As such, BTC led last week’s $1.1 billion net cash inflows to digital asset investments with approximately $871 million, according to data from CoinShares . “As long as the spot price holds above $70,000, the divergence between a resilient spot and a bearish derivatives structure keeps the short squeeze potential intact,” analyst Axel Adler from CryptoQuant noted . However, if the institutional spot demand for Bitcoin weakens amid ongoing futures deleveraging, a potential capitulation below $70,000 could be inevitable.
