Daily Futures Order Book Report｜8/28 Price and Position Rise Together, Sell Side Still Heavy
At 11:30 a.m., the marked price of $BTC was 79,893.7 USD, up 1.31%, while total open interest also increased 3.5% to 8.691 billion USD.
When both price and positions rise together, it suggests new leverage is following the rebound, but the ratio of aggressive buy/sell activity is only 0.71—aggressive selling still clearly outweighs.
The current upswing looks more like sell orders being absorbed rather than the buyer proactively sweeping.
Longs account for only 48%, yet the funding rate is positive at 0.0076%, combined with “fear and greed” at 73, resulting in a structural mismatch in the order book.
The number of shorts is slightly higher, but long positions still bear the holding cost, implying that a portion of large leverage is concentrated on the long side.
$SOL rose by 5.3%, with a positive funding rate of 0.0031%. Leverage in strong coins is heating up faster, and when a pullback happens, it is also more likely to trigger chain-reaction de-leveraging.
This Friday, about $6.4 billion in Bitcoin options expires, and the contest around the $80,000 area may be further amplified.
Earlier, price approached $81,000, while the market awaited signals from the Jackson Hole speech. Now the marked price has fallen back below $80,000 again, indicating this level has not yet been firmly established.
BitGo’s acquisition of NYDIG’s institutional trading business and expansion of derivatives services is a mid-term incremental development; its impact on the near-term direction is weaker than that of option expiry and the existing leverage structure.
Two risk boundaries to watch:
If total open interest keeps rising but the aggressive buy/sell ratio remains below 1, the simultaneous rise in price and positions could turn into leverage profit-taking at any moment.
If price re-establishes above $80,000 and aggressive buying strengthens again, only when the short share reaches 52% would it convert into fuel for short covering.
