Bitcoin spot trading shows stronger selling bias while futures longs pay more in funding this week.

Bitcoin spot trading saw increased selling pressure with a negative volume delta deepening from $67 million to $83.6 million, despite a 2.1% rise in trading volume to $5.5 billion. Meanwhile, funding payments by traders holding long positions in perpetual futures rose nearly 50%, indicating more bullish futures exposure even as spot market sentiment turned more negative. Futures open interest slightly declined, and options data showed a shift toward downside protection with increased put option demand. These mixed signals highlight cautious market sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting on October 27-28.

Bitcoin spot selling pressure is noted alongside Pluang's cryptocurrency market data as of Oct 21, 2026 09:31 WIB. Among 50 major cryptocurrencies, 42 rose and 7 fell today on Pluang. Notable movers include EOS at Rp12.649 with an 8.13% increase, MANA at Rp1.583 with a 6.60% rise despite 87% sell order activity, and CRV at Rp6.936 up 5.27% with 96% sell orders.
