[Wintermute: If Bitcoin's cyclical trend is similar, it may drop to the mid-to-high $50,000 range] BlockBeats news, March 31, market maker Wintermute's latest weekly market report pointed out that the ratio of Bitcoin perpetual contract trading volume to spot trading volume has risen to 15 times, while funding rate fluctuations have dropped to the lowest level of this cycle. This indicates that market leverage is high, but there is insufficient directional consensus. The current structure is more akin to 'compression and accumulation,' potentially brewing a significant one-sided movement. Wintermute believes that if geopolitical tensions ease substantially and oil prices fall back to around $100, short positions may face the risk of being squeezed to the $70,000–$74,000 range. If the situation continues to stabilize, the $74,000 resistance level may be tested. Conversely, if tensions escalate further and oil prices rise to $120, Bitcoin prices may drop to just above $60,000. If the cyclical trend is similar, it could potentially fall to the mid-to-high $50,000 range. On a more macro level, directionality is not the key here; what matters is the market structure itself. Forward contract leverage remains elevated, and capital flows are fluctuating within the narrowest range in history, with volatility also narrowing. Regardless of which direction the catalyst ultimately develops, the market structure suggests that the resulting magnitude of volatility will far exceed the levels currently reflected in spot, forward contracts, and options prices.
