On-chain data shows the Bitcoin leverage ratio still has a very high value, a sign that has usually proven to be bearish for the crypto in recent months.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Exchange Leverage Ratio Has Been Going Up In Recent Weeks<\/h2>\n

As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post<\/a>, the BTC all exchanges leverage ratio is still quite high, suggesting that the crypto could still see further downtrend.<\/p>\n

The “leverage ratio<\/a>” is an indicator that is defined as the ratio between the open interest and the all derivatives exchange reserve.<\/p>\n

Here, the “open interest” is a measure of the total amount of Bitcoin futures positions currently open in the derivatives market.<\/p>\n

And the “derivatives exchange reserve<\/a>” is just the total number of coins currently stored in wallets of all derivatives exchanges.<\/p>\n

What the leverage ratio tells us is how much leverage users are taking on average in the BTC futures market right now.<\/p>\n

When the value of this indicator is high, it means users are taking a large amount of risk in the form of leverage at the moment. An excess of leverage usually leads to higher volatility in the market.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, lower values of the ratio can result in lesser relative volatility in the crypto’s price since users aren’t taking much risk.<\/p>\n

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin all exchanges leverage ratio over the last year:<\/p>\n

As you can see in the above graph, whenever the Bitcoin leverage ratio has hit a steep value during the last several months, both the indicator and the coin’s price has subsequently plunged down.<\/p>\n
