Bitcoin leverage ratio on a certain exchange has dropped significantly since February, and the spot market is expected to take over price leadership.
BlockBeats News, March 10th, according to monitoring by analyst Darkfost, since February, the estimated leverage ratio for bitcoin on a certain exchange has dropped sharply from 0.198 to 0.152, with both a rapid and significant decline. This trend typically occurs after intense volatility and major price movements. During this period, the price of bitcoin fell from around $96,000 to $69,000. Such changes often create panic among investors, prompting some to voluntarily close leveraged positions, while others are forced out due to liquidations. This leads to a significant reduction in open interest, reflecting an overall deleveraging process in the derivatives market.
The analyst stated that if the estimated leverage ratio for bitcoin fails to rebound during the consolidation period, it may indicate that the spot market is taking over the lead in price action, thereby helping to stabilize the market. In many cases, these deleveraging phases allow the market to reset on a healthier foundation. Lower leverage usually means reduced systemic pressure, which helps price action stabilize before entering a new round of directional movement.
Note: The Estimated Leverage Ratio for bitcoin is used to measure the intensity of leverage used by investors. It is calculated by comparing the open interest in futures contracts with the amount of BTC reserves held by the exchange.
