Bitcoin Could Hit $195,000-But Only If You Believe In Fairytales

Now, on October 10, there was a bit of a… how do we put it? A ‘liquidation frenzy,’ where around $20 billion of open interest evaporated faster than your motivation on a Monday morning. The market’s total open interest-once frolicking around $78 billion-tumbled to $58 billion, like an over-inflated balloon that finally popped. It was almost like the FTX crash, but without the same amount of screaming. Still, according to Moreno, the dollar magnitude tells us one thing: it was a symptom of today’s massive derivatives base, not a sign of an apocalypse.
