⚠️ $BTC HITS $80K AS LEVERAGE PURGES 11% OF OPEN INTEREST 🛡️

Bitcoin pushed past $80K on a 25% leg up from $63.5K, yet futures open interest in BTC terms dropped 11%. Rather than retail over-leveraging into resistance, forced short-covering and aggressive spot ETF bids carried the order flow. Remember: capital first.

While a spot-driven expansion creates a healthier market structure, thin leverage works both ways. With short squeeze fuel wearing off, price discovery now hinges entirely on sustained spot demand holding ground. Hope is not a strategy if that demand fades.

Is $80K a launchpad for structural price discovery, or are we setting up for a sharp liquidity sweep? Size down to sleep well.
