[Wintermute: Bitcoin's Rally Fragile Amid Weak Spot Demand, Short-Term Reversal Possible] According to a report by Cryptopolitan, Wintermute's market analysis highlights that Bitcoin's surge past $80,000 was primarily driven by a short squeeze in the perpetual futures market rather than spot demand. Over the past month, Bitcoin futures open interest increased by approximately $10 billion to $58 billion, while spot trading volume fell to a two-year low. When Bitcoin broke through $70,000, a large number of short positions were liquidated, triggering a buying frenzy that pushed prices higher. Wintermute warns that the rally, lacking support from spot demand, is fragile, and the market could face a sharp reversal. In the long term, spot ETFs have seen a net inflow of $623 million recently, and Bitcoin reserves on exchanges have dropped to a seven-year low. However, these factors are insufficient to offset short-term risks. Higher-than-expected U.S. CPI data and uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve Chair nomination could also exacerbate market pressures.
