In the past 24 hours, the trading volume of Bitcoin put options expiring on March 29 exceeded that of call options. According to data from the cryptocurrency options exchange Deribit, this has raised the put/call ratio, indicating a bearish outlook in the short term. The put/call ratio is a key indicator of market sentiment for the underlying asset. On this platform, the strike prices of put options are concentrated around $50,000 and $45,000. On Friday, the trading price of Bitcoin was around $63,500. David Lawant, research director at cryptocurrency brokerage firm FalconX, stated: "Today's market adjustment is mainly driven by significant outflows from the Bitcoin trust Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC.YS). Net inflow data for spot ETFs as of yesterday shows outflows for the second consecutive day since these products were launched on January 11." Bitcoin has dropped more than 10% from its all-time high, marking one of the largest declines this year, with 10 spot Bitcoin ETFs about to see their largest outflows since inception. According to Coinglass data, over $177 million in call bets were closed in the past 24 hours. The pullback in Bitcoin contrasts sharply with this week's stock market rebound, as traders are more optimistic about the Fed's interest rate cuts this year. Chris Newhouse, DeFi analyst at Cumberland Labs, said: "Ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting, we see digital assets also reacting to positive macroeconomic news. However, driven by specific product outflows and liquidations, the correlation between Bitcoin and stocks has weakened, seemingly driving the decline in Bitcoin and Ethereum." However, after several rounds of liquidation in recent months, the funding rate for perpetual futures contracts, indicating the leverage level of crypto trading, remains relatively low, suggesting that Bitcoin's current decline may not be as severe as previous pullbacks. On Monday, the high leverage of long positions accelerated Bitcoin's plunge, with over $582 million in long liquidations. The total liquidation amount exceeded $738 million ### 相关股票 - [VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/HODL.US.md) - [WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund (BTCW.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BTCW.US.md) - [Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BTCO.US.md) - [Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BITB.US.md) - [Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund - ETF (FBTC.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/FBTC.US.md) - [CoinShares Bitcoin ETF (BRRR.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BRRR.US.md) - [Hashdex Bitcoin Futures ETF (DEFI.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/DEFI.US.md) - [ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/ARKB.US.md) - [Franklin Bitcoin ETF (EZBC.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/EZBC.US.md) - [BTC/USD (BTCUSD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BTCUSD.VAHK.md) - [iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/IBIT.US.md) - [Grayscale Bitcoin Trust BTC - ETF (GBTC.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/GBTC.US.md) - [BOS HSK BTC (03008.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/03008.HK.md) - [HGI BTC (03439.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/03439.HK.md) - [CAM BTC (03042.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/03042.HK.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [Bitfarms leads the exit, rebranding to Keel Infrastructure, moving to US](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281230667.md) - [BTC miners are collectively turning to Bitcoin.](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281160892.md) - [DeFi Technologies Files 2025 Annual Information Form with U.S. SEC](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281291168.md) - [Osprey Bitcoin Trust delays 2025 annual report filing, cites financial statement completion work](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281344737.md) - [AVA to Open Contributor Tasks on April 7th](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281226331.md)
