The volume of open interest in altcoins excluding Ethereum is still higher than that in Bitcoin, and Ted warns that high leverage may trigger large-scale clearing.
The cumulative amount of altcoin inflows in the past seven days has reached one of its highest levels in months, indicating that exchange activity is heating up. The medium and small market cap markets are currently remaining around US$203 billion, and the resistance level of US$205 billion and the support level of US$200 billion will determine the next trend.
As leverage remains high and more tokens are transferred to exchanges, the altcoin market is facing new selling pressure. Analyst Ted pointed out that the open interest volume of altcoin after excluding Ethereum still exceeds the open interest volume of Bitcoin. At the same time, analyst Maartunn reported that seven days of cumulative inflow trading volumes have climbed to a multi-month high.
Altcoins have more open interests than Bitcoin
According to Ted's analysis, altcoins other than ETH hold more open interests than Bitcoin. Ted said there was "moderate leverage" in the altcoin market and expected many positions to be liquidated in the coming weeks. His comments focused mainly on exposure to altcoin derivatives.
However, Ted did not provide specific open interest data, nor did he clearly identify which tokens face the highest exposure. Maartunn reported that altcoins were once again flowing to exchanges. He added that cumulative inbound trading volume over the past seven days had surged to one of the highest levels in months.
However, the data provided does not show the total value of the transferred tokens, nor does it specify the specific exchanges involved. These inflow figures appear after Ted's comments on derivatives leverage. Ted focuses on open interest volume, while Maartunn looks at exchange-traded data.
