Welcome to Extreme Investor Network, where we bring you the latest insights and analysis on the stock market, trading, and all things Wall Street. In today’s blog post, we’ll be discussing the recent surge in BNB open interest and what it means for traders.
As of May 31, BNB open interest was at $594 million. However, since CZ’s prison term began, there has been a significant increase in speculative trading activity, with open interest reaching $1.01 billion as of June 5. This represents a massive $405 million surge in just a few days.
What’s interesting to note is that while the BNB price has only declined by 21.28% in the last 5 days, the open interest has seen a much more significant increase of 68%. This divergence between price and open interest is often seen as an early signal that the market might be nearing a top.
The rapid uptick in open interest suggests that the recent BNB price rally has been driven primarily by speculative traders, rather than organic spot purchases. With the current $1.01 billion in speculative futures contracts, there is now heightened risk of massive liquidations and rapid price downswings once traders start to book profits.
Looking ahead, despite BNB trading at all-time highs above $700, the surge in speculative contracts indicates a potential profit-taking wave that could lead to rapid downswings towards $600 in the near-term. Keep an eye on the upper-limit Bollinger band technical indicator, which highlights the $670 price level as a critical short-term support cluster to watch in the coming days.
