BTC Open Interest (in BTC) is back at the highest level we've seen since 2021-2023. Every time we hit this area during the past year, we saw a flush of open interest soon after. Usually this was due some sort of squeeze in the market which made the open interest top out. Keep in mind, this says nothing about which direction that squeeze should be in. But in the majority of the other examples on the chart it did cause a reversal in the market instead of further continuation. This makes sense as positions tend to build up during a trend. Then when that trend reverses you see those positions cover to take profit or get squeezed out. The other side of the trade generally already got washed out multiple times before.
