O my, what a capricious creature is this Bitcoin! 🎭 Between 9 to 10 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025, it flirts with $110K, a mere 12.6% from its lofty peak-though one might call it a “modest retreat” for a digital asset. 🚀
Futures Market Overview
Total bitcoin futures open interest (OI) stands at $70.75 billion, a sum so vast it could fund a small kingdom. 🏰 CME, that paragon of stability, holds the lead with $16.42 billion-23.2% of the market. Binance, ever the rival, follows closely with $12.79 billion. 🏦
While CME and Binance both posted modest gains, the overall daily OI slid 2.19%, hinting at traders unwinding positions like a weary actor exiting the stage. 🎭
Kucoin, that fiery spirit, surged 2.86%, while MEXC, in a fit of despair, plummeted 18.06%. Gate’s OI dipped -6.30%, as if saying, “I’ve had enough of this chaos!” 📉
Futures Open Interest Trends
Coinglass futures statistics reveal OI has climbed since June, mirroring Bitcoin’s climb from $60K to $110K. Despite shakeouts, OI remains elevated-proof that speculation thrives even in the face of uncertainty. 🤷♂️
Options Market: Calls Take Control
Over in the options arena, bullish sentiment reigns supreme. Calls make up 59.3% of total open interest, while puts play the role of the reluctant skeptic. 🧐
The largest open interest contracts on Deribit are stacked in December 2025, with $140K and $200K calls leading the charge. A comedy of errors, indeed! 🎭
Volume Leaders and Short-Term Positioning
The $150K call leads in 24-hour volume, while near-term puts hedge against dips. A tug-of-war between optimism and caution-how very human! 🧘♂️
Max Pain and Price Gravity
According to Coinglass, the max pain point sits near $114K, where most options expire worthless. A precarious balance, as Bitcoin hovers just beneath it. 🧍♀️
