Bitcoin’s Decline: A Coordinated Reset, Not an Accident
The recent drop in Bitcoin’s price appears less like a natural correction and more like a strategic market reset. A sharp spike in retail leverage and open interest set the stage for a cascade of liquidations — a classic overleveraged market unwind.
Key contributing factors:
⚠️ Elevated open interest and aggressive long positioning
🇺🇸 A surprise 0.5% decline in the U.S. PPI, raising deflationary concerns
🧊 Lack of anticipated institutional inflows and macro uncertainty
This environment created ideal conditions for large players to trigger volatility, clear excess leverage, and reposition at more favorable price levels.
As Bitcoin stabilizes above $105K, this event serves as a reminder: volatility often signals opportunity — but also strategic manipulation.
📊 Risk management remains essential.
