In the cryptocurrency market, on-chain data and derivatives market dynamics point to a significant divergence in investor behavior, while the Bitcoin price continues its sideways movement with limited fluctuations.
According to market data, Bitcoin ($BTC) is trading at $68,094, showing a limited increase of 0.06% in the last 24 hours.
During this period when prices are confined within a narrow range, the liquidations in the derivatives markets present a striking picture. In a process where a total of $109.16 million in liquidations took place, short positions accounted for $76.51 million, or 70.1% of the total, indicating that investors who took positions against upward movements in the market were hit harder. In contrast, long liquidations remained at $32.65 million.

On the other hand, the Fear and Greed Index, which measures market sentiment, remains in the “extreme fear” region with 8 points. The fact that the index has been at similarly low levels yesterday (11), last week (14) and last month (10) reveals that investors are generally risk-averse and approach the market cautiously.

On-chain data shows that Bitcoin’s current price structure remains relatively strong. The “realized price,” which represents the average cost for all investors on the network, is at $54,200, and Bitcoin trading above this level indicates that the market is generally profitable and that this level could act as strong support.
However, the MVRV ratio, another important indicator suggesting that the market is not overheating in terms of valuation, is measured at 1.26. This value reveals that Bitcoin is neither excessively expensive nor historically cheap, but rather moving within a band considered to be “equilibrium.” According to experts, an MVRV below 1 is considered a strong bottom signal, while levels above 3.7 indicate a market bubble and a potential peak risk.
