⚖️ Bitcoin Futures Stabilize — Is Market Normalcy Finally Returning?

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading inside a tight range after a drop from its all-time high. The world's biggest cryptocurrency is now worth $118,570, up 0.3% in 24 hours.

Market contributor ShayanMarkets' QuickTake research on CryptoQuant shows a shift in Bitcoin's futures market activity.

Despite high prices, the analyst says the present trend is cooling after speculative pressure and debt accumulation during prior price increases in the $70,000–$90,000 area. This development may shape Bitcoin's future in the next weeks.

ShayanMarkets said the futures market saw “heating and overheating phases,” apparent in red clusters on the volume bubble map, amid rallies. These times caused price corrections or consolidations when leveraged holdings unwound.

The current data shows a different arrangement. Grey and green bubbles on the graphic indicate neutral and cooling futures market activity despite Bitcoin's near record highs.

The expert said that traders may be de-risking as speculative activity decreases and spot demand sustains the price during this cooling period. ShayanMarkets said on QuickTake:

This leverage reset, despite BTC being over $100K, indicates better market conditions as demand turns toward organic purchasing rather than high-risk speculative wagers.

The analyst said : Reduced speculative pressure might support another price surge, perhaps pushing Bitcoin over its previous all-time high around $123K.

Another investigation by CryptoQuant contributor CoinCare found selling activity by long-term Bitcoin investors, known as “whales,” who have held their investments for over a decade.

CoinCare reports that several holders, particularly those who began buying Bitcoin in 2013, are liquidating.

This selling activity matches Bitcoin's fast climb from under $100 to about $1,000, offering early adopters a 117,900% return.

Early investors sometimes take profits amid high prices, but this does not always signify a change in market mood.
