Relief Rally or Real Reversal? Analysts Urge Caution

[nihalsari]

Despite the strong bounce in crypto prices, analysts warn that the latest move may be more of a short squeeze than a full structural reversal. Research from XWIN Research Japan highlights a sharp decline in Open Interest, suggesting that recent volatility was driven largely by derivatives liquidations rather than strong spot demand. This type of deleveraging can stabilize markets, but it doesn’t necessarily signal renewed long-term buying momentum.

On-chain and exchange data add nuance to the picture. Binance’s Fund Flow Ratio remains low at around 0.012, indicating limited immediate sell pressure — but also weak inflows. Analysts note that suppressed leverage can fuel short squeezes, creating upward price spikes without sustained structural demand. For a durable bullish reversal to take hold, stronger spot trading volume and genuine accumulation will likely be needed. Until then, the market may remain vulnerable to volatility driven more by positioning than conviction.
