$BTC Sentiment has already fallen to Fear Greed 23—this suggests that market sentiment is leaning toward panic; but BTC longs are still at 69%, meaning the leverage side hasn’t truly thrown in the towel. With $7.44 billion in OI still sitting inside the market, it means the liquidation chain still has fuel.

A side: BTC is down 6% in one day, and liquidations across the entire network total $1.25 billion. Traders are starting to look at the $50,000 to $55,000 range, which indicates that the spot selloff has already triggered systematic deleveraging.
B side: CFTC Chairman wants to overturn Gemini’s $5 million settlement. On top of that, Trump signed an AI executive order. The policy backdrop isn’t entirely bearish, but in the short term, funds are even more afraid that the Strait of Hormuz risk will further magnify risk-aversion sentiment.
The specific point the market is truly watching is this: the active buy-sell ratio is only 0.98, showing that buy pressure is only barely holding up rather than launching a strong counterattack. Will the next key candlestick wipe out high-long positions first, or will it first digest geopolitical news? #ContractData
