The amount of bitcoin futures held on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) suggests that the market landscape is changing, as a group of traders appear to be cutting their positions, which could indicate they are cautious or taking profits after a strong rally. The data show a divergence between the behaviour of asset managers and other participants, with net long positions at asset managers peaking at $6 billion in late 2024, but have since been slashed to around $2.50 billion. On the other hand, net long positions in the "other" category, which may include retail investors and small institutions, have risen sharply to about $1.50 billion, the highest level in more than a year, indicating renewed bullish sentiment among non-institutional market participants.
