Bitcoin market caution grows as leverage demand stays weak

Sliding bitcoin futures open interest signals fewer traders seeking leveraged exposure, while remaining positioning skews bearish.

CoinDesk reports that caution is building in the bitcoin market even though prices remain well above summer lows.

The outlet says overall demand for leveraged exposure is weak, with futures open interest declining.

CoinDesk adds that the capital still participating in the market appears tilted toward bearish positions rather than neutral or bullish ones.
