Derivatives
Open Interest
This week, Open Interest and price seem to be moving in line with the positive correlation. Open Interest has been on a steady uptrend, indicating increased investor interest in the futures market and more capital flowing into the market. The accompanying rise in the price indicates that the bullish sentiment is strong in the current market and that investors’ market expectations are shaped in a positive direction.
The sharp declines on Januar 9th and Januar 13th, which occurred simultaneously in both price and open interest, indicate that positions in the market were quickly closed. Such declines are usually seen during periods when investors engage in risk-reduction strategies due to short-term uncertainty. However, since Januar 14th, there has been a strong increase in price and open interest again. This rise clearly shows that new positions have entered the market and the risk appetite of participants has increased again. Especially the parallel increase in price and open interest is an important indicator for the sustainability of the bullish momentum.
However, the rapid rise in open interest also suggests that the market has become over-leveraged, a risk that could lead to large liquidations if price movements reverse. While rising open interest usually indicates the strengthening of a trend, if the price flattens or declines, it could be a sign of market tightness or the start of profit realizations. Such a scenario could lead to large volatility, especially when leverage is high.
Funding Rate
Bitcoin funding rates continue to be positive, and the price is on an uptrend. Positive funding rates indicate that the market is largely made up of long positions and investors have strong bullish expectations. The decline around Januar 9 suggests that there was a pullback in both the funding rates and the price, suggesting that investors closed positions or short positions gained weight. However, the rise in the funding rate after Januar 14th suggests that bullish expectations are again strengthening in the market. However, if the funding rate remains at high levels for a prolonged period of time, the market could become over-leveraged and risk a possible correction
Long & Short Liquidations
After a very active week similar to last week, Bitcoin continues to price above the $96,000 level again. With the deep declines on Januar 8, 9 and 13, high amounts of liquidations in both long and short positions stand out. When the Liquidation heatmap is analyzed, the liquidation block formed up to 99,000 levels stands out. Although rises up to these levels seem possible, the lack of sufficient spot support and low volume data may indicate that Bitcoin is at a critical decision stage that requires caution.

Fees and Revenues
Analysing the Bitcoin Fees per Transaction (Mean) data between Januar 15-21, it was observed that this value was at 0.00002123 on Januar 15, the first day of the week. Until Januar 19, Bitcoin Fees per Transaction (Mean), which followed a parallel course with Bitcoin price, reached its lowest level of the week at 0.00001669 on Januar 19. Then, a volatile course was observed until the presidential oath of office speech of Donald Trump, who was re-elected as the President of the US on Januar 20.

On Januar 21, the last day of the weekly period, Fees per Transaction (Mean) value started to decline again and fell to 0.00003154 with the relatively calm course and decreasing volatility observed in Bitcoin price.

However, as of Januar 19, the Bitcoin Fees (Total) value also started to rise with the increasing volatility in the Bitcoin price. In this context, on Januar 20, the value reached 12,37123961 and was recorded as the highest value of the week.
Miner Flows
As can be seen in the Miner Reserve table, the number of Bitcoins in miners’ wallets decreased this week. Although the week started with a positive correlation between Miner Reserve and Bitcoin price, this correlation turned negative towards the end of the week.
Miner Inflow, Outflow and NetFlow
Between Januar 15 and Januar 21, 59,863 Bitcoins exited miners’ wallets, and 60,025 Bitcoins entered miners’ wallets between the same dates. The Miner NetFlow for this week was 162 Bitcoin. Meanwhile, while the Bitcoin price was $100,503 on Januar 15, it was observed as $106,164 on Januar 21.
During the week, the net flow (Miner NetFlow) was generally positive as Bitcoin inflow into miner wallets (Miner Inflow) was higher than Bitcoin outflow from miner wallets (Miner Outflow).

Transaction
Transaction Count
During the week of Januar 8-14, a total of 3,196,381 transactions took place, while during the week of Januar 15-21, the number of transactions decreased to 2,578,010, a decrease of approximately 19.35% compared to the previous week. Remarkably, the lowest volume of transactions on the network occurred on Montag and Dienstag, Januar 20-21. This marks a departure from the trading declines that are normally characteristic of weekends. The highest number of transactions for the week was 425,511 on Januar 17. While there was a positive correlation between the number of trades and the price until that date, the relationship reversed for the rest of the week, with an inverse correlation between the price and the number of trades.
Tokens Transferred
In the week of Januar 8-14, the amount of Bitcoin transferred was 4,760,329, while in the week of Januar 15-21, this amount increased by 26.16% to 6,005,751. The lowest levels in the amount of Bitcoin transferred were generally observed on Samstag and Sonntag, as in previous periods. On Januar 16, 18 and 21, there was an inverse relationship between the amount of Bitcoin transferred and the price, while on Januar 15, 17, 19 and 20, the relationship was directly proportional.
Whale Activities
Cryptocurrency analytics firm Alphractal found that whales – large-scale traders – play an important role in shaping price trends, while individual traders provide liquidity but often lag behind the decision-making process. According to Alphractal, whales on exchanges are increasingly favoring short positions and closing long positions. In contrast, individual traders, defined as those with positions ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, have been steadily increasing their long positions.
Whales Data
According to the data that has attracted attention in the cryptocurrency market in the last 7 days, whale activity on the central exchange has reached higher levels than ever before. When we look at the last 7 days of whale activity, it shows that centralized exchanges are being used by whales in an excessive way. When we look at the Exchange Whale Ratio metric, this metric, which was 0.62 on Januar 16, reached historical highs, and now whales have started to withdraw Bitcoin from exchanges. This ratio currently stands at 0.42. When this ratio is above 0.350, it usually means that whales frequently use centralized exchanges. In the first half of this 7-day period, it was seen that mostly BTC sellers used centralized exchanges. However, with Trump taking office in the last days of the process, there has been a strong accumulation of Bitcoin in the wallets of whales. At the same time, when we look at the total BTC transfer, we see that 6,005,751 BTC moved, an increase of about 26% compared to last week.
