Bitcoin’s price has once again set a new record by surpassing the $120,000 threshold within the last 24 hours. The leading cryptocurrency witnessed a 3.7% surge over the past day, a 14% increase over the past week, and an approximately 25% jump in the last 30 days. However, the simultaneous rise in open positions and leverage data suggests a growing risk of a sudden correction hidden underneath the apparent enthusiasm.
Record-Breaking Open Positions on Bitcoin
According to data from CryptoQuant, the open position volume of Binance‘s futures market has escalated to $14.1 billion, marking an all-time high. This underscores the inflow of new capital into the market, with both individual and institutional investors turning to leveraged transactions, thereby accelerating the uptrend. Historical examples indicate that such explosive growth can propel prices even higher in the short term.

Meanwhile, the estimated leverage ratio on Binance reaching 0.204 signifies a level of overheating not observed since August 2023. Although high leverage amplifies gains, a potential sell-off could trigger a chain of liquidations, pulling the price down just as swiftly. Investors should be prepared for quick profit-taking or stop-loss triggers in this “double-edged sword” scenario, which could entail a domino effect.
No Alarms from TBSR Indicator
CryptoQuant’s Taker Buy/Sell Ratio (TBSR) indicator climbing to 1.14 reveals a dominance of buyers not seen in a long while. While this appetite supports short-term gains, it also increases the risk of market peaks, as a shift in direction could intensify the selling pressure amongst overly optimistic investors.
While daily charts show MACD and AO remaining positive, RSI climbing to 78 indicates an overbought signal. The CMF’s drop from 0.23 suggests a slowdown in capital inflow. In the event of a pullback, critical supports to monitor include $120,000, $116,000, and $110,000. Failure to hold these levels could lead to a deepening correction.
