BTC-1,61%

Bloomberg Intelligence data shows the average spot Ethereum ETF investor is sitting on a 43% unrealised loss, with an estimated cost basis of \$3,500 and ETH now trading near \$1,950.

Bitcoin futures open interest has fallen to its lowest since 2024, as waning institutional demand puts pressure on BTC prices.

On February 13, news reports indicate that Bitcoin's recent price has been under continuous pressure, failing to stay above $72,000. Meanwhile, the total open interest in Bitcoin futures has fallen to $34 billion, hitting a new low since November 2024, down approximately 28% from 30 days ago. Although the number of open contracts measured in Bitcoin remains around 502,450, indicating that overall leverage demand has not significantly decreased, forced liquidations have accumulated to $5.2 billion, intensifying market concerns that Bitcoin may fall back to the $60,000 support level. The weak bullish leverage demand in the market highlights a decoupling of Bitcoin from traditional financial markets. Over the past month, Bitcoin has declined by 28%, with investors lacking clear catalysts. At the same time, gold prices have returned to the psychological level of $5,000, and the S&P 500 index is approaching its all-time high. Some analysts believe that the risk-averse sentiment is driven by a soft U.S. labor market. Data from the U.S. Department of Labor shows that only 181,000 new jobs are expected to be added in 2025, below expectations, but the White House emphasizes that slowing population growth is leading to decreased job demand.
