Trading in the Regulatory Fog

Market Spotlight:

Bitcoin began the Asian trading session in the red this Monday, retreating approximately 3% to trade near the $92,500 mark. This pullback suggests that the recent derivatives-fueled rally has lost its steam, highlighting a still-fragile market foundation even as the heavy sell pressure seen in late 2025 begins to dissipate. It can be observed that a significant flushing of the system occurred, with over $680 million in crypto positions liquidated in the last 24 hours. Roughly $600 million of these were long positions, indicating that the bullish side of the market had become overly crowded.
