<a href="https://coin-turk.com/geleneksel-borsalarin-volatilitesi-bitcoini-geride-birakti" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a> (<a href="https://coin-turk.com/bitcoin-fiyati-icin-kritik-sinyal-2024-baharina-isaret-ediyor-uzman-yorumladi" data-wpel-link="internal">BTC</a>) began to decline from its all-time high of $69,200 on March 5th, resulting in a staggering loss of $1 billion for crypto traders using options and futures contracts to invest in the cryptocurrency. This drop in the largest cryptocurrency also hit <a href="https://coin-turk.com/avax-fiyati-nereye-gidiyor-bir-sonraki-hamlesi-bu-olacak" data-wpel-link="internal">altcoins</a> and changed many things across the market. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="strong-significant-drop-in-open-interest-strong">Significant Drop in Open Interest</h2> 
According to a March 6th post by crypto analysis platform Santiment, the over 14% drop in <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/bitcoin-technical-analysis-key-support-and-resistance-levels/" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a>‘s price led to a significant decrease in the open interest (OI) of BTC, Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) on exchanges. 
<img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-323545" src="https://coin-turk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Bitcoin-Solana-Ethereum.jpeg" alt="" width="2515" height="1666"> 
Bitcoin’s open interest fell by $1.46 billion within hours, while Ethereum’s dropped by $967 million and Solana’s by $424 million. This decline in open interest followed shortly after Bitcoin briefly surpassed its all-time high of $69,200, slightly exceeding its previous peak of $69,044 in November 2021. 
Santiment highlighted that most of the speculation surrounding Bitcoin’s price increase came from traders opening long positions in anticipation of the largest cryptocurrency breaking the $70,000 barrier. Additionally, a smaller portion of the decrease in open interest was due to the liquidation of short positions as Bitcoin reached its all-time high. 
The reduction in the number of open positions is seen by some analysts as a temporary removal of speculative excess from the market. Open interest represents the total value of traders’ open positions in derivative contracts; it increases with new positions and decreases when existing positions are closed. 
In the past few weeks, traders had been increasing their bets on Bitcoin’s price movement reaching new highs, pushing the number of open positions to record levels. Despite Bitcoin’s sudden downward price movement, many experts argue that exits in derivative trading are a normal part of market dynamics. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="strong-312-500-investors-pushed-out-of-the-market-strong">312,500 Investors Pushed Out of the Market</h2> 
<a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/the-latest-situation-for-usdtry-and-btc-after-the-turkish-election-what-to-expect/" data-wpel-link="internal">Cryptocurrency</a> analyst Daan <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/brics-group-aims-to-challenge-dollar-dominance-a-new-financial-order-on-the-horizon/" data-wpel-link="internal">Crypto</a> Trades informed his followers on social media platform X that the sharp drop in Bitcoin’s price resulted in the liquidation of many long positions, with about $3 billion in open interest wiped out during the correction. Data from Coinglass shows that approximately 312,500 investors were liquidated, with the total liquidation amount reaching $1.13 billion in the last 24 hours. 
Current data indicates that Bitcoin is now trading at $63,600, which represents an 8% decrease from the previous day’s all-time high price level.
