Glassnode&#8217;s senior researcher has pointed out how Bitcoin perpetual futures 
market is looking like a &#8220;ghost town,&#8221; with Open Interest continuing to be at 
muted levels. Bitcoin Futures Open Interest Has Remained Low Since October 
Reset In a new post on X, Glassnode senior researcher CryptoVizArt.₿ has 
talked about the recent trend in the Bitcoin Open Interest for the perpetual 
futures market. The &#8220;Open Interest&#8221; refers to an indicator that measures the 
total amount of positions related to the asset that are currently open on all 
centralized derivatives platforms. Related Reading: This 11.7 Billion Dogecoin 
Wall Could Be Key Resistance For DOGE, Analyst Says When the value of the 
metric rises, it means the investors are opening new positions related to the 
asset. Generally, new positions come with fresh leverage for the sector, so 
the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price can become more volatile following an increase in 
the Open Interest. On the other hand, the indicator going down suggests the 
perpetual futures traders are either closing up position of their own volition 
or getting forcibly liquidated by their platform. Such a trend can lead to 
more stable price action for BTC due to the clearing of leverage. Now, here is 
the chart shared by CryptoVizArt.₿ that shows the trend in the Bitcoin 
perpetual futures Open Interest (BTC-denominated) over the last few months: As 
displayed in the above graph, the BTC-denominated Bitcoin perpetual futures 
Open Interest saw a sharp plunge back in October as a result of the crash in 
the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price. Following the leverage flush, the indicator 
traveled sideways around its lows, but in mid-November, speculation noted an 
uptick as the asset&#8217;s drawdown continued, with the metric&#8217;s value peaking 
alongside the level that has so far acted as the bottom. Since this high, 
however, the indicator has cooled off once again and approached the same lows 
as the ones that followed the massive liquidation event in October. Thus, with 
Open Interest back under 310,000 BTC, it seems speculative interest in the 
market has once again become muted. The recent decline in speculative 
participation has come alongside a drop in the perpetual futures Funding Rate, 
a metric tracking the amount of periodic fee being exchanged between the short 
and long investors. From the chart, it&#8217;s visible that the Bitcoin perpetual 
futures Funding Rate has been going down since a while now. &#8220;This persistent 
drift lower reflects a decline in leveraged long conviction, with traders 
unwilling to pay a premium to maintain upside exposure,&#8221; noted the Glassnode 
researcher. Related Reading: Bitcoin Market Structure Echoes 2022 Bear Start,

Bitcoin is floating around $90,500, up almost 6% over the last seven days.
