🚨 WAIT… this crypto selloff has a much deeper story.
The US crypto market-structure bill failed to advance in the Senate, and the reaction was immediate.
BTC fell around 1.7%, but regulation-sensitive tokens were hit much harder:
🔻 XRP: -8.1%
🔻 XLM: -9.6%
📉 95 of the CoinDesk 100 were down.
Then came the leverage flush.
More than $570M in leveraged positions were liquidated within 24 hours — the biggest liquidation wave since August 22.
But here’s what caught my attention 👀
BTC dropped while futures Open Interest increased:
676K BTC → 688K BTC
Price ↓
Open Interest ↑
At the same time, BTC CVD turned negative, showing aggressive selling pressure.
And traders are still heavily positioned long, with Hyperliquid’s long/short ratio around 2.53.
That creates an interesting setup: if BTC continues lower, crowded longs could face another round of forced selling.
Options are also sending mixed signals, with rising demand for downside protection while BTC call activity remains strong.
Now the market’s attention turns to the Fed decision and Treasury yields.
10Y yield: 5.04%
30Y yield: 5.40%
This is no longer just a BTC price move.
Regulation, leverage and macro are all colliding at the same time. 👀
