STABLECOIN LIQUIDITY UPDATE: DRY POWDER IS STILL BUILDING After looking through Bitcoin’s derivatives data, ETF flows, exchange balances, and market positioning, the next important piece of the puzzle is liquidity. Stablecoin supply is one of the best indicators for understanding whether capital is entering the crypto ecosystem or sitting on the sidelines waiting for an opportunity. The current data shows total stablecoin market cap sitting around $307.7B. That is still close to cycle highs, even though Bitcoin remains below its previous all-time high. This divergence is important. In previous cycles, stablecoin supply expansion has often led price appreciation because it represents available capital waiting to be deployed into risk assets. Right now, the market is showing something interesting: Liquidity has not disappeared. Capital is still sitting within the system. The question is not whether there is money available. The question is when that liquidity decides to rotate back into Bitcoin and crypto assets. USDT continues to dominate with a market cap of approximately $183B, while USDC sits around $72B. Together, the two largest stablecoins represent the majority of available crypto-native liquidity. However, over the last 7 days, total stablecoin market cap has declined by around $2.2B (-0.71%). This is not a major liquidity contraction. It is more consistent with short-term repositioning rather than capital leaving the ecosystem. The bigger picture is still constructive. Looking at the long-term stablecoin market cap chart, the expansion since 2024 has been significant. Stablecoin liquidity has grown from around the $120B-$150B range in late 2023/early 2024 to over $300B today. That represents a major increase in available capital compared to the previous cycle. The important observation: Bitcoin is currently trading below its previous peak while stablecoin liquidity remains elevated. Historically, that type of setup has created opportunities because liquidity often moves before price. When risk appetite returns, the market does not need new money to enter immediately. There is already a large pool of capital available inside crypto. From a ChartHouse Research perspective, this is one of the reasons we continue monitoring liquidity closely. The market structure is showing: - Derivatives positioning has cooled - ETF flows have returned positive - Exchange balances remain a key area to watch - Stablecoin liquidity remains historically high The missing ingredient is not capital. It is confidence. If Bitcoin begins reclaiming key resistance levels while stablecoin supply stabilises or starts expanding again, that would strengthen the case for a larger liquidity-driven move. For now, stablecoins are telling us the market still has fuel. The next question is whether that fuel starts flowing into risk assets.
BITCOIN 1H CHART UPDATE: BTC TESTING A KEY BREAKOUT LEVEL
Bitcoin is currently sitting at a major decision point.
After recovering from the recent sell-off, BTC has pushed back towards the $64,000 resistance zone and is now trading around $63,900.
The key battle right now is clear:
Can Bitcoin reclaim $64,000 and turn this resistance into support?
Over the past few days, BTC has made multiple attempts to break above this area, but each move has been met with selling pressure.
This tells us $64,000 is not just a random level.
There is clearly a large amount of supply sitting above this zone, with sellers defending every attempt to move higher.
However, the structure is starting to improve.
Bitcoin has been making higher lows since finding support around the $62,500-$63,000 region, showing buyers are still stepping in on dips.
The current setup:
Resistance: $64,000
If BTC can get a clean 1H close above $64,000 and hold the level as support, the next major area we are watching is $65,000.
A successful reclaim would confirm that buyers have absorbed the selling pressure and could open the door towards higher resistance levels.
Support: $63,000
If Bitcoin fails again at $64,000, the first level to watch is the $63,000 support zone.
A loss of this area would weaken the short-term structure and increase the probability of another move lower.
From a ChartHouse Research perspective, this is one of the more important short-term moments for Bitcoin.
The market has already shown strength by recovering back into resistance.
Now the question is whether buyers have enough momentum to break through, or whether this becomes another rejection point.
With derivatives positioning cooling, ETF flows returning positive, exchange balances being monitored, and liquidity still sitting within the ecosystem, the ingredients are there for a move higher.
But price still needs to confirm.
For now, $64,000 remains the level that decides the next short-term move.
After analysing Bitcoin’s price action, liquidation structure, volume, open interest, and funding rates, the next important question is whether real capital is supporting this move. The ETF data gives us that answer. And right now, the data is showing something important. Institutional demand has returned. The latest Bitcoin spot ETF update shows: Total cumulative net inflows: +$51.94B +643.49K BTC Latest daily net inflow: +$170.10M +2.68K BTC After a period of volatility and inconsistent flows, Bitcoin ETFs have moved back into positive accumulation territory. The most important part is not just the daily inflow. It is where the demand is coming from. BlackRock’s IBIT continues to lead the market, adding approximately +1.75K BTC on the latest inflow day. Fidelity’s FBTC added: +525.57 BTC ARKB added: +33.04 BTC Bitwise BITB added: +44.06 BTC VanEck HODL added: +70.81 BTC EZBC added: +144.77 BTC Combined, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs added approximately +2.68K BTC in a single day. This matters because ETF flows represent a different type of market participant compared with futures traders. Futures traders can quickly rotate between longs and shorts. ETF buyers are typically longer-term capital allocators. They are not usually entering positions based on short-term price movements. They are positioning around a longer-term thesis. Looking at the historical ETF flow chart, we can see a clear relationship: When sustained ETF inflows appeared, Bitcoin historically entered stronger accumulation phases. When ETF outflows dominated, price momentum weakened as institutional demand slowed. Over the last few months, ETF flows have been mixed, with several periods of consistent outflows creating additional selling pressure. However, the latest data shows a change in behaviour. Institutional selling pressure has eased. Demand has started returning. The interesting part is the timing. Bitcoin is still trading significantly below its previous all-time high, yet institutions are already adding exposure. This is usually the type of behaviour we want to see during accumulation phases. The market is not waiting for perfect conditions. Capital is positioning before confirmation. Combining this with the previous CHR updates: - Price action is holding the $63K support region - Liquidation data shows significant liquidity above current price - Volume has increased with spot participation improving - Open interest has cooled slightly rather than becoming excessively crowded - Funding rates remain controlled - ETF flows have returned positive The overall picture is becoming more constructive. The one thing we are watching closely is whether ETF demand continues over the coming sessions. One positive day does not create a trend. The real confirmation comes from consistent inflows while Bitcoin attempts to reclaim higher resistance levels. For now, the data suggests that institutional demand is returning at a time when leverage has been reduced. That combination is usually much healthier for a sustainable move higher. Our focus remains on whether Bitcoin can reclaim the next major resistance zones. If ETF inflows continue, it adds another layer of confirmation that this recovery is being supported by real capital rather than only short-term speculation.
BITCOIN OPEN INTEREST & FUNDING RATE UPDATE Following our Bitcoin price action, liquidation heatmap, and volume analysis, the next question we need to answer is: Is this move being driven by healthy demand, or is leverage starting to build too aggressively? Today’s derivatives data gives us an interesting signal. Bitcoin total open interest currently sits at: $47.94B 752.45K BTC in contracts Over the last 24 hours: • Open interest: -0.78% • 4H open interest: -1.90% • 1H open interest: -0.19% The important observation is that Bitcoin has recovered while open interest has declined. This means price has moved higher without a significant increase in leverage. Historically, when price rises and open interest expands aggressively at the same time, it often means traders are chasing the move with borrowed capital. That is when markets become vulnerable to sharp liquidation events. Right now, we are seeing a different structure. Leverage is being reduced while price attempts to recover. This suggests the move is currently being supported more by spot demand and short positioning being removed rather than excessive long speculation. The biggest development we are watching is CME. CME open interest: $6.18B 24H change: -11.30% This is the largest decline among major venues. Rather than institutions aggressively adding exposure into this recovery, CME positioning has been reduced. This tells us the rally has not yet become crowded with institutional leverage. Funding rates remain controlled. Current BTC funding: Binance: +0.0066% OKX: +0.0083% Bybit: +0.0100% Funding remains positive, but it is still within normal ranges. The market is slightly favouring longs, but we are not seeing the extreme optimism that typically appears when traders become overconfident. Looking across major exchanges: Binance: OI: $9.51B 24H change: +0.90% OKX: OI: $2.58B 24H change: -0.14% Bybit: OI: $4.34B 24H change: -0.01% Most major exchanges are showing relatively stable positioning. Our interpretation: The current market structure is becoming more constructive. The sequence we have seen: 1. Bitcoin holds key support levels. 2. Liquidation events remove excess leverage. 3. Volume expands as participation returns. 4. Price recovers without open interest overheating. This is generally a healthier setup compared with previous moves where leverage expanded faster than price. The next confirmation point is what happens from here. If Bitcoin continues higher and open interest begins increasing gradually, it would suggest fresh capital is entering the market. If Bitcoin continues higher while open interest remains flat or declines, it would suggest the move is still being driven by short covering and spot demand. The main warning signal would be: Price moves higher Open interest expands aggressively Funding rates accelerate That combination would show traders becoming crowded on one side of the market. For now, derivatives are not showing excessive leverage. Bitcoin is attempting to move higher while positioning remains relatively cautious. That is the type of environment we prefer to see during a recovery. We will continue monitoring: • Open interest expansion • Funding rate acceleration • Spot vs futures participation • Liquidation levels around key resistance The next few sessions should reveal whether this develops into a larger continuation move or another temporary relief rally.
BITCOIN VOLUME UPDATE THIS MOVE IS FINALLY SEEING REAL PARTICIPATION After analysing Bitcoin’s 4H price action and liquidation levels, the next thing we wanted to understand was whether this move higher had genuine market participation behind it. The answer is much more interesting than a simple volume increase. Bitcoin is currently trading around $63,600, up approximately 1.68% over the last 24 hours. During this move: • BTC futures volume increased to $53.29B (+54.66%) • BTC spot volume increased to $3.87B (+91.17%) The most important part here is that spot volume has increased significantly faster than futures volume. This matters because spot buying represents actual capital entering the market, while futures volume can often be dominated by leverage and short-term positioning. Looking at the volume distribution: 30D average spot volume share: 6.58% Current spot volume share: 6.58% Spot participation is currently sitting almost exactly in line with its monthly average. This tells us that although overall activity has increased, we are not seeing an unusually large spot-driven accumulation event yet. However, the quality of the buying has improved. The 24H taker data shows: Futures: Buyers: 49.72% Sellers: 50.28% Spot: Buyers: 52.16% Sellers: 47.84% The futures market remains relatively balanced, but spot buyers have taken control. This is an important difference. The market is not being pushed higher purely by aggressive leverage. Instead, spot demand is starting to absorb selling pressure. Looking deeper into the 30-day volume distribution: Futures taker volume: $675.91B buy $676.57B sell Spot taker volume: $47.29B buy $47.93B sell The broader market is still almost perfectly balanced between buyers and sellers. This means Bitcoin is moving higher without excessive euphoria or extreme positioning. From a trading perspective, this is actually healthier. The previous sell-off flushed a large amount of weak positioning from the market. Now we are seeing: • Price recovering from the $63,000 support area • Volume returning • Spot buyers becoming more active • Futures positioning remaining controlled The main thing we are watching now is whether this volume expansion continues into resistance. Bitcoin is approaching the key levels we highlighted earlier: $64,000 → first resistance $65,700 → major range resistance $67,200 → major breakout level A move through these levels with continued spot volume would provide much stronger confirmation that buyers are taking control. For now, the data suggests this move is being supported by improving market participation rather than simply a leverage-driven bounce. The next few sessions will be important. We want to see whether volume continues expanding as BTC tests resistance, or whether activity starts fading again. CHR will continue monitoring the relationship between price, volume, and positioning closely.

BITCOIN LIQUIDATION HEATMAP UPDATE Bitcoin is currently trading around $63,800, sitting directly between two major liquidity zones as the market continues to compress. Looking across the 24H, 48H and 1-week liquidation heatmaps, the main takeaway is that liquidity is building on both sides of price. The market is currently positioned in a zone where one decisive move could trigger a chain reaction of liquidations. Below price: The largest downside liquidity pocket remains around $62,000-$62,300. This area has continued to attract attention as leveraged longs have built up underneath the current range. A move into this region would likely flush weaker positions and test whether buyers are willing to defend the current structure. The important observation is that Bitcoin has repeatedly held above the $63,000 area despite multiple attempts from sellers to push lower. Above price: The main upside liquidity cluster is developing between $64,500-$66,000. A clean reclaim of $64,500 would put Bitcoin back into an area where short positions begin to become vulnerable. If momentum accelerates, this liquidity could act as fuel for a move higher as shorts are forced to cover. The bigger picture: Bitcoin is currently trading inside a liquidity battlefield. The market is not lacking liquidity — it is waiting for a catalyst to decide which side gets taken first. This is why these ranges can feel slow and frustrating. Price is often compressed while larger players wait for enough positioning to build before the next expansion. Combining today’s market data: • Exchange netflows are not showing aggressive BTC selling pressure • Stablecoin supply remains elevated, suggesting available capital on the sidelines • Bitcoin dominance has started recovering, showing capital is still favouring BTC • Price continues defending the $63,000 support region The levels we are monitoring: Support: $63,000 Major downside liquidity: $62,000-$62,300 Immediate upside liquidity: $64,500 Major upside target: $65,500-$66,000 Bitcoin is currently sitting at a decision point. A sweep of the downside liquidity could provide the fuel for a reversal, while a breakout through the upside liquidity could force shorts to chase higher. The next major move is likely going to come from whichever side of the market gets trapped first.
Bitcoin is continuing to trade inside the same range, with price once again being rejected around the $64,000 resistance level.
So far, neither buyers nor sellers have been able to force a decisive move, which is why patience remains important here.
The key thing we're watching is how Bitcoin behaves around $64,000.
A clean reclaim and sustained hold above this level would put $65,700 back into focus. That remains the first major resistance, and if bulls can break through it with conviction, the next significant level sits at $67,200.
On the downside, $63,000 continues to act as the range support. It's been defended multiple times over the past week and remains an important area for buyers to hold. Losing that level would likely open the door for a move into the $61,000 support zone.
What stands out to us is that despite the recent volatility across macro markets, Bitcoin is still respecting these technical levels remarkably well. Price isn't breaking down, but it also isn't showing enough strength to confirm a trend reversal yet.
When we combine this with today's data:
• Funding rates remain relatively neutral.
• Open interest has started rebuilding after the recent flush.
• Exchange inflows remain contained rather than accelerating.
• Stablecoin liquidity is still sitting near cycle highs.
• Bitcoin dominance is gradually recovering, showing capital is still favouring BTC over higher-risk altcoins.
Taken together, this still looks like a market searching for its next catalyst rather than one entering a sustained trend.
Our focus hasn't changed:
Above $64,000, momentum begins improving.
A confirmed break above $65,700 shifts the structure back in favour of the bulls.
Below $63,000, the probability of testing $61,000 increases significantly.
For now, this continues to look like consolidation inside a well-defined range, and until one of these levels breaks, we expect price to remain reactive rather than directional.
One metric we've been paying very close attention to is stablecoin liquidity.
It's one of the clearest ways to gauge how much capital is sitting on the sidelines waiting to enter the market.
Right now, the data is sending a pretty interesting message.
• The total stablecoin market cap remains close to all-time highs despite Bitcoin trading well below its cycle peak.
• USDT supply is still holding around record levels. There hasn't been a meaningful contraction in liquidity, which tells us capital hasn't left crypto, it's simply become more selective.
• USDC has seen enormous growth over the past year and continues to hold most of those gains. Institutional participation is still far stronger than it was in previous cycles.
The key takeaway for us is this:
If investors were genuinely exiting crypto, we'd expect to see stablecoin supply shrinking as capital leaves the ecosystem.
That's not what's happening.
Instead, liquidity is largely staying inside crypto while participants wait for higher-conviction opportunities.
This fits with what we're seeing across the rest of the market:
• Funding rates remain relatively neutral.
• ETF flows have become more mixed after months of heavy buying.
• Exchange balances aren't showing signs of widespread panic selling.
• Stablecoin liquidity remains elevated.
When we put all of those pieces together, it looks less like money is leaving the market and more like capital is temporarily sitting on the sidelines.
From our perspective, that's an important distinction.
The next sustained move higher is likely to require this existing liquidity to rotate back into risk assets rather than entirely new capital entering the market.
For now, that's one of the biggest metrics we're watching.
Bitcoin dominance is starting to show strength again.
After rejecting from the 59.5% area, BTC.D pulled back towards the 58.8% level and is now attempting to stabilise around 58.9%.
The important thing to understand:
Rising Bitcoin dominance means capital is flowing into Bitcoin faster than the rest of the crypto market.
This usually happens when:
• Investors prefer the liquidity and relative strength of Bitcoin
• Risk appetite across altcoins weakens
• Capital rotates back into BTC during periods of uncertainty
Looking at the current structure:
Bitcoin dominance has been trending higher since the beginning of the move, pushing from the 58.2% area towards 59.5% before the recent pullback.
The key level we are watching is 59%.
A clean reclaim and hold above this area would suggest Bitcoin is continuing to absorb market liquidity, which could keep pressure on altcoins in the short term.
However, if BTC.D loses the 58.8% support zone, we could see capital begin rotating back into altcoins.
Our current view:
Bitcoin dominance strengthening while BTC holds key support levels suggests the market is still favouring Bitcoin over higher-risk assets.
This does not mean altcoins cannot move, but the current data shows Bitcoin remains the preferred destination for crypto capital.
The next move in BTC dominance will be important in determining whether we continue in a Bitcoin-led market phase or whether broader risk appetite starts returning across crypto.
One of the most important things we track at Chart House Research is whether Bitcoin is moving towards exchanges or away from them.
Why?
Because exchange flows give us an insight into whether holders are preparing to sell, or whether BTC is being moved into longer-term storage
Looking at the latest data, the takeaway is simple:
We are not seeing type of sustained exchange inflows that typically appear during major distribution phases.
Over previous market tops, large amounts of BTC consistently flowing onto exchanges has often been a warning sign, as more supply becomes available for sellers
Right now, the data looks balanced
We are seeing periods of both inflows & outflows, showing that market is actively repositioning, but there is no clear evidence of aggressive selling from holders
The important part
BTC has retraced significantly from its previous highs, yet exchange activity has not shown same level of panic selling that has historically appeared during major corrections
This suggests current weakness may be more related to short-term market positioning and leverage resets rather than a broad-based exit from BTC
We are not ignoring the risk
If exchange inflows begin increasing consistently while Bitcoin struggles to reclaim key resistance levels, that would indicate growing sell-side pressure
For now, the data shows
• No major wave of BTC moving onto exchanges • No clear sign of widespread holder distribution • Market participants appear to be repositioning rather than exiting
Our current view
Exchange netflows alone are not enough to predict Bitcoin's next move, but combined with ETF flows, open interest, funding rates and liquidation data, they help build a clearer picture of market conditions.
At the moment, the data suggests Bitcoin is in a consolidation phase where supply dynamics remain relatively stable.
The levels we continue watching:
$62,000 support
$63,000-$64,000 reclaim zone
A break from this range, combined with changes in exchange flows, will likely provide the next major signal
