Bitcoin (BTC) has become \u201cone of the most leveraged assets in history,\u201d according to Alphractal Founder and CEO Joao Wedson.<\/p>\n

The exec pointed to a sharp rise in perpetual futures trading that has reshaped market behavior.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin OI Hits Fivefold 2021 Levels<\/h2>\n

In a post on X, Wedson explained<\/a> that perpetual trading activity has \u201cexploded,\u201d as traders, funds, and high-frequency desks are increasingly opting for leverage over spot exposure. He said leveraged activity tends to surge during periods of increased volatility, particularly during large market drops.<\/p>\n

This shift is also visible in open interest (OI), which reached an October peak nearly five times higher than levels seen at Bitcoin\u2019s November 2021 all-time high. Such a pattern indicates traders\u2019 focus on securing rapid gains through high-risk leverage.<\/p>\n

Wedson added that the distribution of OI across exchanges shows how aggressively platforms have promoted leveraged products. He even went on to note that BitMEX, which controlled 90% of the market in 2017, now holds just 0.65%, while newer exchanges dominate the landscape.<\/p>\n

Binance, for one, accounts for 30% of the market, followed by Bybit at 16.7%. Wedson also revealed that Alphractal\u2019s model on current long-short positioning shows longs at 72.4% (worth around $25.72 billion) and shorts at 27.6% (worth around $9.79 billion). He said trader exposure is tilted 2.6 times more toward longs, despite historical trends showing short sellers often having better odds of profit.<\/p>\n

Wedson described the positioning as \u201cstrange,\u201d but noted that extreme leverage helps explain the imbalance, with Bitcoin spending more time rising while leveraged longs remain vulnerable to rapid wipeouts.<\/p>\n

BTC\u2019s $91K Breakout<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin broke above the $91,000 mark on Thursday after rising by nearly 5% amidst a broader market rebound and is now trending higher. According to crypto analyst Ted Pillows, the crypto asset is approaching resistance between $93,000 and $94,000, and a successful reclaim could push the asset toward $100,000.<\/p>\n

However, he warned<\/a> that failure to reclaim this resistance may trigger a short-term correction, which could potentially drive BTC back down<\/a> toward the $88,000 level.<\/p>\n

Another market commentator, \u201cCaptain Faibik,\u201d observed<\/a> that Bitcoin is forming a Descending Broadening Wedge on the 4-hour chart. The pseudonymous trader said that BTC has likely bottomed out, but bulls must reclaim the $100,000 resistance level to restore strong upward momentum. He added that a break above $100,000 could trigger a solid bullish rally in December.<\/p>\n
