[Analysis: Cooling Demand for Bitcoin Futures May Further Pressure Short-Term Trends] BlockBeats News, September 2 – CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated in a post that the demand in the Bitcoin futures market is showing signs of weakening. Data indicates that the 30-day average net active buying volume has started to decline after a period of relatively strong growth, resembling the situation in May 2026. On August 19, when Bitcoin broke through $65,000, the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio briefly rose to 1.21. However, as investors gradually increased short positions, market optimism has been fading. Currently, the 30-day average net active buying volume has dropped sharply from $213.7 billion to $97.8 billion in just a few days, a decline of over 50%. Meanwhile, the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio has remained in negative territory since August 30. This metric, which compares the volume of active buy and sell orders in the futures market, reflects investor sentiment and position changes in the futures market. The analysis points out that trading volume in the futures market remains significantly higher than in the spot and ETF markets, meaning its capital flows have a strong influence on overall market trends. In the short term, signs of deterioration are emerging in the Bitcoin market. Weakening futures demand and increasing short positions may further suppress price performance. [Original Link]
