Night trading first reports an anomaly: this set of $BTC contracts' open interest shows $0K, with longs and shorts at 50/50, taker at 1.0.

This is not "balance," but more like a data feed outage from the order book source.
So tonight, we can't use this open interest to judge the crowded direction; we can only treat it as a risk boundary: observe spot prices, fee rate recovery, and whether exchange-specific open interest re-synchronizes.
On the event side, BlackRock's Bitcoin Premium Income ETF has already started trading.
These products are not simply spot buying narratives; they lean more toward a "holding coins for income" structured demand.
The impact on the order book is usually not a single line change, but a shift in medium-term holdings: volatility, options sellers, and spot ETF positions should all be considered together.
Another core point is that $BTC remains below 65K, with the FOMC testing ahead.
Fear and greed index is only 22, indicating sentiment is already leaning toward fear, but fear does not automatically mean a rebound.
If the price continues to move along key levels and open interest data does not recover, the most likely scenarios are false breakouts and liquidity sweeps, making it unsuitable to judge solely based on the long/short ratio.
There are also two capital flow messages regarding stablecoins: Tether has signed a strategic partnership with Dubai DMCC, and Trace Finance has completed a $32 million Series A funding round.
This is not immediate news for pushing the market, but it indicates that stablecoins and on-chain settlement are still expanding.
On the chart, watch whether $USDT inflows return to exchanges, and after $BTC reclaims 65K, whether the contract open interest keeps up or continues to distort.
Tonight's conclusion is simple: until the data source is fixed, reduce leverage judgment.
