Bitcoin futures divergences point to transitioning market — Are BTC bulls accumulating?

Bitcoin’s (BTC) price has dropped 5.6% over the past seven days, closing three daily candles below the $80,000 support for the first time since Nov. 9, 2024.

Data from Glassnode highlighted Bitcoin witnessing a 64% rise in futures volume during the same period. The analytics platform said that “this marks a reversal from the past month,” when futures volume progressively decreased.

A rise in futures volumes suggested heightened market activity, but further analysis of the broader futures market revealed a more complex outlook. Bitcoin’s open interest (OI), representing the total value of outstanding futures contracts, declined 19% over the past two weeks.

This reduction suggests that while trading volume is increasing, some traders are closing their positions rather than keeping them open, possibly to lock in profits or mitigate risk with respect to Bitcoin’s bearish market structure.

Total crypto liquidations also reached $2 billion between April 6 to April 8, further strengthening the likelihood of traders adopting a cautious approach.

Considering this data collectively suggests that Bitcoin might be in a transitionary state. The surge in futures volume reflects growing interest and speculative activity, potentially signaling the end of a correction phase and the start of an accumulation period. Yet, the decline in open interest highlights a risk-off approach, with traders reducing exposure amid lingering macroeconomic uncertainty.

If Bitcoin price fails to recover while futures volume and open interest converge, that might signal the beginning of a bear market. Likewise, Bitcoin’s price rising alongside OI and trading volumes would imply an accumulation period, followed by a possible uptrend.

Spot Bitcoin ETF outflows remain minimal

Major US equities are currently down more than 20% from their all-time highs, with the S&P 500 losing a year’s growth in just over a month. While traditional institutions have possibly faced significant unrealized losses over the past two weeks, spot Bitcoin ETF outflow data did not reflect the market panic just yet.

Over the past two weeks, the total spot BTC ETF outflows have been just under $300 million. This divergence highlights a resilience in Bitcoin’s institutional investor base.

Unlike the selling seen in equity markets, the limited outflows from spot BTC ETFs suggest that institutional investors are not yet panicking, potentially viewing Bitcoin as a hedge or maintaining confidence in its long-term value amid traditional market turmoil.
