Deep Tide TechFlow News, February 25 — CryptoQuant analysis indicates that Bitcoin’s current price is fluctuating between $62,000 and $68,000. The futures market funding rate remains in negative territory, suggesting that bearish sentiment dominates the market. Unlike the previous bottom around $80,000, when funding rates were mostly positive.

Since July 2025, the market has been primarily driven by selling pressure, with buy orders only absorbing supply. Current selling pressure is at its highest in three months. Notably, the futures market has maintained high leverage for 16 consecutive months. Since Bitcoin’s last all-time high, excessive leverage has been decreasing.

Analysts point out that while the price decline has forced some investors to liquidate, it has actually improved market leverage health, which is a positive long-term signal.
