PRO institutional data shows that between 07:40 and 07:47 UTC, BTC experienced concentrated institutional trading. During this period, institutions actively closed short positions through limit orders, accumulating $169 million in buy orders. Simultaneously, the market saw $127 million in market sell orders, triggering a concentrated wave of long liquidations. On the chart, open interest dropped sharply by 2,469 BTC in a short time, and liquidation statistics simultaneously showed a cluster of long liquidation signals—indicating this sharp decline was driven by a resonance effect of “institutional short covering + long liquidation cascade.” In such market conditions, relying solely on candlestick patterns can easily lead to misjudgment of direction. However, by correlating PRO’s institutional trading data, open interest changes, and liquidation metrics, you can proactively determine whether institutions are exiting positions or simply adjusting their hedges.
