CryptoQuant: Bitcoin spot demand continues to shrink, leveraged long positions exacerbate market vulnerability
CryptoQuant analyst MorenoDV_ pointed out that Bitcoin's recent price trend has shown a dangerous divergence: the Taker buy volume on Binance has continued to decline, reaching a low not seen in months, indicating a significant weakening of the market's willingness to buy actively; meanwhile, the funding rate on Binance has risen back into positive territory, suggesting that traders are increasing their long positions through leverage.
Historical patterns show that when the funding rate rises while spot demand simultaneously shrinks, it often signals that the market is entering a later stage of speculation—leverage-driven trends lack support from spot capital, making them structurally fragile. If buying pressure does not effectively rebound, the current high funding rate may reflect more potential risks rather than market strength.
