Bitcoin deleverages after $13.45B expiry, but will weak demand stall recovery at $66K?
Following a significant $13.45 billion options expiry, Bitcoin underwent a broad deleveraging event, with Open Interest dropping 42% and reducing gamma constraints. This reset eased liquidation risks and suppressed short-term volatility, allowing the price to stabilize near $66,300. However, the market remains in a state of extreme fear, with weak demand and cautious sentiment hindering a strong recovery. Futures Open Interest declined further, funding rates turned negative, and long/short ratios hovered near parity, reflecting low conviction. The current structure is cleaner but fragile, leaving Bitcoin highly sensitive to macroeconomic triggers and headline-driven moves. For sustained stability, stronger spot demand is essential; otherwise, the market remains vulnerable to renewed volatility.
