A weekend pullback can look scary when liquidation numbers hit the headlines, but the more interesting signal is what happened to leverage underneath it. Around $250.6M in crypto longs were wiped out, including $55.8M in $BTC positions, while Bitcoin open interest fell 2.65%.

With funding still near baseline, this doesn’t look like traders immediately piling leverage back into the market. Some excess positioning may simply be getting flushed out.

That can actually create a healthier setup if spot demand remains strong and leverage stays controlled.

Is Bitcoin clearing out weak positions before the next move, or is the market still waiting for a stronger catalyst?
