Bitcoin’s Recent $12B Open Interest Wipeout: A Necessary Phase, Says Analyst

Recently, Bitcoin experienced a $12 billion open interest (OI) shakeout, and according to crypto analysts, this market correction could be the key catalyst for Bitcoin to regain its upward momentum.

A Natural Market Reset

DarkFost, a contributor to the crypto data platform CryptoQuant, explained in a March 17th report that this wipeout could be viewed as a natural market reset. He stated, "This can be considered as an essential phase for sustaining a bullish continuation." He further emphasized that historical trends show that past deleveraging events like this have provided good opportunities in the short to medium term.

Open Interest Changes

On February 20, Bitcoin’s open interest stood at $61.42 billion, but by March 4, it had dropped by 19% to $49.71 billion. This decline came amid high volatility in Bitcoin’s price, triggered by political instability in the US and uncertainties regarding the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policies.

DarkFost noted, "Following the recent panic triggered by political instability linked to Trump’s decisions, we witnessed a massive liquidation of leveraged positions on Bitcoin." In fact, on February 25, Bitcoin's price fell below $90,000, and just two days later, on February 27, it dropped below $80,000 for the first time since November. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at around $83,400.

Market Outlook

Bitcoin’s open interest is currently sitting at $49.02 billion, representing a 6.5% increase over the past five days. Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget, noted, "With Bitcoin hovering in the low $80,000s, its price and open interest could see more volatility if the March 19 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting brings any surprises."

Markets are largely expecting the Fed to keep rates steady, with the CME Group’s FedWatch tool showing a 99% chance of no change in rates.

Conclusion

The recent $12 billion open interest wipeout in Bitcoin is seen as a natural part of the market’s adjustment process, which could help pave the way for a continued bullish trend. However, due to the possibility of further volatility driven by monetary policies or political events, investors should remain cautious and keep a close eye on market developments.

로스트 레코드 블룸 앤 레이지(Lost Records: Bloom and Rage) 리뷰 - 기억 속에 남을 걸작

"네가 죽더라도, 나는 너를 기억할 거야." 이 문장은 Lost Records: Bloom and Rage 의 첫 번째 챕터(Tape One) 중반부에 등장하는 대사로, 게임이 전달하고자 하는 핵심 메시지를 함축적으로 담고 있다. Don't Nod의 최신작인 Lost Records 는 청소년기의 복잡한 감정과 모순을 섬세하게 포착하며, 그 시절의 불완전한 자신감과 불안이 공존하는 순간들을 아름답게 그려낸다. 청소년기는 영원할 것처럼 느껴지면서도 한없이 깨지기 쉬운 시기다. 그리고 이 게임은 그 마법 같은 시간을 완벽하게 구현해낸다. 하지만 Lost Records 는 단순히 90년대의 향수를 불러일으키는 게임에 그치지 않는다. 이 작품의 중심에는 30년 가까이 묻혀 있던 초자연적인 미스터리가 자리 잡고 있으며, 네 명의 여성들이 다시 만나면서 과거의 어둠과 마주하는 이야기가 펼쳐진다. 우정, 정체성, 개성, 표현, 그리고 젊음에서 중년으로의 전환까지, 다양한 주제를 탐구하는 이 게임은 Don't Nod의 역대 최고의 작품 중 하나로 손꼽힐 만하다. 스토리 개요: 두 개의 시대를 넘나드는 미스터리 게임의 배경은 1995년 여름과 코로나19 팬데믹 이후의 현재, 두 개의 시대로 나뉘어 있다. 주인공 스완 할러웨이(Swann Holloway)는 어린 시절 겪었던 사건을 다시 되짚어 보기 위해 과거로 돌아간다. 이 모든 것은 오랜 친구인 가을(Autumn)로부터 연락을 받으면서 시작된다. 가을은 오랜 시간 연락이 끊긴 친구들에게 어떤 사람이 그들에 대한 진실을 알고 있으며, 의문의 소포를 보냈다고 전한다. 거의 30년간 단절된 네 명의 친구—스완, 가을, 노라(Nora), 캣(Kat)—은 결국 과거를 마주하기 위해 고향 벨벳 코브(Velvet Cove)로 돌아가게 된다. 이들은 왜 서로의 곁을 떠났으며, 과거에 어떤 끔찍한 일을 목격했거나 저질렀던 것일까? 이야기는 천천히 그러나 강렬하게 전개되며, 그 과정에서 플레이어는 초...
