The Bitcoin futures market has experienced a significant contraction, with $8 billion in open interest wiped out in recent days. This decline was triggered by a wave of liquidations of leveraged positions, indicating a broad capitulation among short-term traders. Despite the turmoil, indicators like the MVRV ratio and the Fear & Greed Index suggest the market might be nearing a bottom. Amid the downturn, investors holding between 10 and 1,000 BTC have been quietly accumulating, hinting at a potential transition to a more stable market phase. This accumulation could signal growing confidence among mid-sized holders, even as the broader market faces volatility.
