Analysts are warning of a potential Bitcoin price correction as open interest in futures markets reaches new highs for the year, while trading volumes remain low. The imbalance between rising leverage and declining activity could create conditions for sudden price reversals if traders start closing long positions. Bitcoin experienced sharp swings, reaching a high of $67,922 before dropping to $65,160, causing $302.25 million in leveraged positions to be wiped out. The market's sensitivity to abrupt shifts in sentiment is heightened by the mismatch between open interest and volume. Technical indicators also support caution, with resistance at $68,000 and indicators showing bearish divergences. The recent behavior of the market has been influenced by strong institutional flows and shifting political sentiment surrounding the 2024 presidential election, which could amplify Bitcoin's volatility.
