Bitcoin is experiencing a panic sell-off, with the open interest in coin-denominated contracts nearing an all-time high

Since this week, Bitcoin has experienced a wave of panic selling under the shadow of Strategy's coin selling and the diversion of AI funds, dropping over 10% from a peak of $74,000, and has now fallen back to the low range for this year.

It is worth noting that during this period, the open interest in Bitcoin's coin-denominated contracts has risen against the trend, currently reported at 784,400 coins, close to a historical high. In response to this phenomenon, the well-known trader Killa, who predicted the peak of this bull market in May 2025, stated that this often indicates a key top or bottom, warranting high attention.
