BTC Market Pulse: Week 6
Overview
Bitcoin has fallen to $74K after failing to hold the November lows,
with momentum collapsing as the 14-day RSI plunges into deeply
oversold territory. Spot volume has rebounded, but the rise looks
more reactive than constructive, reflecting churn during downside
continuation rather than confident dip buying.
Spot conditions remain weak, with Spot CVD breaking to new lows
and confirming sustained sell-side dominance. While ETF net
outflows have eased slightly, overall positioning still points to
ongoing distribution pressure, even as trade volume spikes
suggest active risk rotation rather than decisive buying.
Derivatives markets continue to lean defensive. Futures open
interest has eased, signalling a modest reduction in leverage, while
funding rates have cooled as long appetite fades. Perpetual CVD
has deteriorated further, highlighting aggressive sell pressure from
leveraged traders and reinforcing downside conviction.
Options markets are de-risking. Open interest has contracted
below its lower band, reflecting position closures and reduced
engagement, while the volatility spread has compressed,
indicating a fading fear premium. 25-delta skew has softened
marginally, suggesting hedging demand remains elevated but no
longer accelerating
On-chain activity remains subdued. Active addresses and fee
volumes have improved modestly, however transfer volume
remains low and realised cap continues to contract, signalling weak
net capital inflows. Profitability has deteriorated further, with
supply in profit falling and unrealised losses deepening, while
realised losses continue to dominate, consistent with a market
under stress.
Overall, conditions have shifted into a clear risk-off regime
across spot, derivatives, ETFs, and on-chain indicators. With
price now below key cost bases and profitability compressed,
near-term stabilisation likely depends on sell pressure
exhausting and demand returning to defend the $74K region.
