High-leverage liquidity in bitcoin is concentrated at around $58,500.market is growing again, a sign traders are looking to take on more risk, potentially injecting volatility into the market.
The increase follows a months-long consolidation below 0.20, pointing to traders increasingly using borrowed funds to amplify their futures positions and a risk-on environment. A low ratio suggests a cautious approach. Leverage allows traders to control larger positions with relatively little capital, magnifying both profits and losses. It's a double-edged sword that exposes traders to margin shortages and forced liquidations when the market moves against their positions, which, in turn, adds to price volatility.
