$BTC

$BTC is above 78,900, truly worth watching isn’t “how much it’s gone up,” but whether leverage has actually rushed in.

Binance spot is up 2.21% over the past 24 hours, reaching a high near 80,000. Perpetual futures open interest is about 108,200 BTC, and the latest funding rate is 0.0100%. ETH and SOL are also in positive funding territory. This suggests bullish sentiment is warming up, but it hasn’t reached extreme mania. The problem is: if the price keeps bouncing around the 80,000 area, chase-in capital will keep raising costs, and pullbacks could easily turn into bulls “attacking” each other.

In the next few days, I’ll watch two things: whether price can digest sell pressure above 78,000, and whether open interest runs out of control in tandem when funding rates heat up. If price rises, positions increase, and funding keeps getting bid up, it may look strong in the short term—but what’s really worrying is the risk of a quick drawdown. If price rises but open interest doesn’t expand further—and instead feels more like spot is taking over—then that’s a different picture.

I won’t try to call the top based on one snapshot of data. If it holds, be proactive; if it pulls back, watch for support and follow-through. And if it falls back toward 76,000 along with a rapid contraction in open interest, lower your expectations first. Are you more focused on price, or on how crowded the derivatives market is?
