Bitcoin’s current price action is being driven primarily by the futures market: open interest continues to rise, while on-chain demand remains negative on a net basis. Neither ETF inflows nor the aggressive purchases by Michael Saylor have materially changed this dynamic. Historically, bear markets tend to end when demand recovers in both the spot market and the futures market — which is not the case at present.
