As Bitcoin (BTC) continues to hover near its all-time high (ATH) of $111,814, signs of a reset in the derivatives market are emerging. One such indicator is the Binance Liquidation Delta, which is showing a consistent pattern of large-scale long position liquidations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Late-Long Positions Get Wiped Out<\/h2>\n

According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post by analyst Amr Taha, Binance\u2019s BTC derivatives market is currently experiencing a significant reset. The Binance Liquidation Delta reveals that liquidations of long positions, sometimes exceeding $40 million, are repeatedly disrupting the market.<\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, the Binance Liquidation Delta measures the difference between long and short liquidations on Binance’s futures market. A negative delta means more long positions are being forcibly closed, often indicating bearish pressure or a leverage reset. On the contrary, a positive delta suggests more short positions are getting liquidated, which can signal a bullish short squeeze.<\/p>\n

The following chart highlights repeated spikes in long liquidations – shown in green – occurring at hourly intervals. While some short liquidations are also present, they are far less significant in magnitude.<\/p>\n

Taha noted a key detail that despite the consistent flushing of long positions, funding rates on Binance remain neutral, hovering around zero. This indicates a lack of extreme sentiment – neither overly bullish nor bearish – implying that traders are cautiously reassessing their positions rather than panicking.<\/p>\n

In parallel, whale activity signals accumulation rather than capitulation. Most notably, Bitfinex saw its largest single-day BTC withdrawal since August 2019, as 20,000 BTC was pulled from the exchange. Taha commented:<\/p>\n

This transaction, valued at over $1.3 billion based on current prices, indicates that such large-scale withdrawals often reflect long-term holding strategies, thereby alleviating immediate selling pressure on exchanges.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Considering the neutral funding environment, persistent long liquidations, and substantial whale outflows, the analyst suggested that Bitcoin may be positioning for another upward move – potentially to a new ATH.<\/p>\n

New ATH On The Horizon For BTC?<\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, BTC is trading 5.8% below its ATH. However, several technical and on-chain indicators hint at further upside for the world\u2019s largest digital asset by market cap.<\/p>\n

For instance, CryptoQuant contributor ibrahimcosar recently projected a price target of $112,000 following a bullish double bottom breakout. Additionally, Coinbase recently recorded a 7,883 BTC withdrawal, suggesting that institutional investors may be positioning for the next leg up.<\/p>\n

That said, some warning signs persist. For example, recent on-chain data shows that long-term BTC holders are reducing their exposure to the digital asset, likely in anticipation of a price correction. At press time, BTC trades at $105,308, up 1.4% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n
