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 Gennaio 9th and Gennaio 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 Gennaio 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 Gennaio 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 Gennaio 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 Gennaio 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.

Transaction
Transaction Count
During the week of Gennaio 8-14, a total of 3,196,381 transactions took place, while during the week of Gennaio 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 Lunedì and Martedì, Gennaio 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 Gennaio 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 Gennaio 8-14, the amount of Bitcoin transferred was 4,760,329, while in the week of Gennaio 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 Sabato and Domenica, as in previous periods. On Gennaio 16, 18 and 21, there was an inverse relationship between the amount of Bitcoin transferred and the price, while on Gennaio 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 Gennaio 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.
