In the past few days, there has been a significant correction in the cryptocurrency market, but one expert believes this is not necessarily a bad thing. Anonymous cryptocurrency analyst Credible Crypto stated on his X account that there has been a “nice cleanup” in Bitcoin’s (BTC) Open Interest (OI) rate.
“Cleanup in OI is a Healthy Development”
Firstly, OI tracks the total outstanding derivative contracts for a specific asset. Credible Crypto said, “The environment is improving. Remember that the green line at the bottom is the lowest recorded OI we’ve seen in this range, and the closer we are to this level, the healthier it is.”
OI can be cleaned out through downward movements (long position liquidations) and upward movements (short position liquidations). Therefore, OI does not necessarily need to be completely reset before seeing the bottom in terms of price.
Credible Crypto noted that the cleanup in OI indicates that overly leveraged positions are being wiped out from the market, which is generally a positive signal for assets in an upward trend. Bitcoin was trading around $56,000 at the time of writing and had risen more than 3% in the last 24 hours. The analyst emphasized that this correction is just a temporary downturn and does not change his medium or long-term outlook.
Expecting Quick Recovery in Strong Cryptocurrencies
“The strongest cryptocurrencies before this drop will likely be the fastest to recover. The weakest cryptocurrencies before this drop will likely struggle,” said Credible Crypto, adding that this period is not for selling but for taking advantage of price discounts on previously identified strong cryptocurrencies. “When the reversal happens, these strong cryptocurrencies will take the lead,” he added.
According to Credible Crypto, instead of panicking, it makes more sense to see the declines in the cryptocurrency market as an opportunity and take positions in strong cryptocurrencies. This strategy could be particularly suitable for investors aiming for long-term gains.
