According to BIT analysis, Bitcoin futures open interest has significantly reduced from the peak of $42 billion in October 2025 to the current $21 billion, as the market has undergone deep deleveraging. Currently, on-site leverage is noticeably low, and small-scale capital inflows can have an amplifying effect on prices; the funding rate has recently fluctuated sharply between -12.6% and +7.1%, with rapid switching between long and short positions.

On the clearing front, the last concentrated forced liquidation occurred on February 6, and the previous leverage has basically been cleared, resulting in a relatively healthy position structure. In the short term, Bitcoin has not formed a clear directional trend, but the market is in a highly sensitive state, and any capital inflow or narrative shift could trigger unexpected price volatility.
