The $BTC positioning looks seriously imbalanced.

Spot volume delta has only recovered to levels we last saw when BTC was trading around $63K a few weeks ago.

Meanwhile, perp volume delta is already higher than it was when $BTC traded around $83K.

That kind of divergence suggests the move is being driven heavily by leveraged positioning rather than genuine spot demand.

In other words, $BTC may be squeezing the shorts and sweeping liquidity above them.

The higher the leverage builds without matching spot participation, the more fuel there is for the squeeze to continue.
