Bitcoin futures open interest increased after a recent price drop, indicating new short positions rather than a liquidation cascade. Despite a $2 billion liquidation event mostly in altcoins, institutional exposure remained stable, with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange holding steady open interest. The near-term Bitcoin price pivot is $81,300; holding above this level could trap shorts and push prices higher, while falling below would keep shorts profitable. Market dynamics now rely more on organic spot demand than derivatives, as leverage is concentrated in altcoins and margin shorts are minimal on Bitfinex.
