Analysts Say Crash Was ‘Controlled Deleveraging’

[ed]

Despite panic in the market, blockchain data shows the sell-off may have been more orderly than feared. Analyst Axel Adler Jr (CryptoQuant) said 93% of the $14B open interest decline was “controlled deleveraging, not cascading liquidations.” Only $1B in Bitcoin longs were liquidated — a “mature moment for BTC,” he noted.

Controlled deleveraging suggests a calculated market reset rather than panic selling.

Analysts believe this cleanup phase could strengthen long-term market stability.
