With a current market cap of $822 billion and a daily trading volume of $32.1 billion, Bitcoin’s fluctuation in OI aligns with observations by CryptoQuant, indicating that BitMEX whales offloaded Bitcoin around the $44,000 mark between December 6th and 7th. Notably, the recent decline in BTC’s total OI stems primarily from Binance and OKX as the price dipped below $42,000, according to CryptoQuant.

Amid this, some analysts view Bitcoin’s recent slump as potentially short-term, advising investors against panicking. CryptosRUs highlighted a notable factor influencing recent price movements: the imminent gathering of high-profile central banks.
On December 11th, a slight correction in the total crypto market capitalization was observed, prompting calls across social media platforms to “buy the dip.”
