⚠️ THE MARKET HAS CLEARED OUT THE SHAKERS. 99% OF NEW INVESTORS ARE IN LOSS — WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR BTC



Currently, one of the most important phases of the cycle is forming, which most participants misunderstand.

Let's analyze the facts.

📉 1️⃣ Massive Margin Cleansing

Current BTC Open Interest: $44.8 billion

This is approximately –55% from the October 2025 peak.

What does this mean:

✅ The market is shedding overloaded leverage

✅ The number of forced liquidations is decreasing

✅ Price is once again starting to depend on real spot demand

Historically:

Major drops in Open Interest almost always occurred before a new trend movement.

👉 If OI stays below ~$45B and BTC stops hitting new lows — the market is undergoing a full reset.

2️⃣ The pain is concentrated among new participants

Currently:

• 99% of investors who bought BTC in the last 6 months are in loss

• 80% bought above $70k

This is a key cycle point.

Growth rarely begins when:

• newcomers hope to break even,

• the market is flooded with “stuck” positions.

True reversals appear after sellers experience psychological exhaustion.

3️⃣ BTC in dollars ≠ BTC in gold

Looking at BTC in USD → it seems like the start of a bear market.

Looking at BTC relative to gold → it’s the final stage of the cycle.

The RSI history of BTC/Gold shows:

After cyclical lows, returns were:

• 2015 → +141% over 12 months

• 2019 → +188%

• 2022 → +128%

So, the best long-term entry points looked exactly like this — extremely depressed.

4️⃣ Bull trap or crypto winter?

According to the Bitcoin Vector model, there are two scenarios:

🟢 Bull trap

— sharp rise

— surge in network activity

— quick liquidity return

🟡 Crypto winter ( is more likely now)

— weak network

— sideways movement

— months of low volatility

— slow accumulation by large players

Historically, these periods have been the best zones for multi-year positioning.

📊 What’s important now

The market has already:

• cleared out leverage

• pushed most participants into loss

• reduced volatility

• approached historical undervaluation zones

But growth doesn’t start immediately after a fall,

it begins after a prolonged phase of boredom and distrust.

Currently, the market looks weak in the short term,

but structurally, it is becoming healthier.

The main reversal signal will appear when:

✔️ Price stabilizes

✔️ Open Interest remains low

✔️ Spot demand begins to return

And it’s during these periods that the market usually prepares for the next big cycle.
