Binance’s share of ETH futures open interest nears 49% as Ether pulls back almost 10%

Crypto market analyst Darkfost said Ether has recently fallen from $2,775 to around $2,500, a drop of nearly 10%, while the notional value of Binance ETH futures open interest declined by about $600 million over the same period. Even so, measured in ETH rather than dollars, open interest on Binance recovered to roughly the level seen at the end of September, reaching about 2.46 million ETH. Darkfost also noted that between Oct. 8 and Oct. 9, the market liquidated about $345 million in ETH long positions within 24 hours. At the same time, Binance’s share of ETH futures open interest across major centralized exchanges rose to nearly 49%, the highest level since 2023. According to Darkfost, the figures show that even after ETH’s price pullback and the liquidation of some leveraged positions, the amount of ETH committed by traders in Binance’s futures market has not dropped in a meaningful way, while Binance’s dominance in the ETH derivatives market has continued to increase.

Trader Killa maps two BTC paths around the U.S. midterm election

Crypto trader Killa said Bitcoin’s preferred setup would be a continued move higher before the U.S. midterm election, allowing the market to build a bullish narrative and break above its previous high, followed by a post-election pullback similar to past cycles. In his view, that decline may not create a new cycle low this time and could instead form a higher low. He also outlined an alternate scenario: if BTC drops before the midterm vote, he thinks the market is more likely to rebound to around $95,000 after the election. Killa noted that nearly $2 billion in long positions had already been liquidated and that roughly three weeks remained before the U.S. midterm election. He said the market may be heading into a "max pain" phase, where broken narratives are followed by a pre-election rebound and then another reversal that pressures traders on the opposite side, before risk is deleveraged again. He added that in three of the past four U.S. midterm elections, markets fell within one to two months after the vote, implying a historical probability of about 75%. Despite that view, Killa said he is still holding a 10x BTC long, along with earlier long positions opened at $62,600 and $76,400, and has not reduced them.

ZEC drops 10.7% in 24 hours, briefly falls to $1,356

ZEC extended its 24-hour decline to 10.7% on Sept. 29, briefly touching $1,356 before trading at $1,389, according to HTX market data cited by BlockBeats. The move came during a broad sell-off across altcoins.

TradingBeats data showed the token’s decline had moved past 10%, with nearby large long positions potentially breached. Among million-dollar positions, one long worth about $1 million was hit by the market move. The nearest long liquidation level stood at $1,359.45, corresponding to about $17.455 million in long positions. A lower estimated liquidation level at $1,357.59 was tied to another roughly $2.631 million in long exposure.

Liquidation map shows clustered long risk below spot for BTC, ETH and ZEC

TradingBeats data tracked on Sept. 22 showed sizable long liquidation clusters sitting below current prices for Bitcoin, Ether and ZEC, while HYPE’s nearest liquidation risk was described as relatively farther away. BTC was the closest to its key risk zone, with a pullback of about 4.4% enough to bring price into a liquidation pocket worth roughly $87.9 million. ETH’s most immediate pressure area sat around $2,500 to $2,520, where about 47,000 ETH in potential long liquidations were concentrated, equal to around $118 million. Three large ETH long positions had estimated liquidation prices packed between $2,453.10 and $2,512.65, with a combined notional size of about $322 million based on those levels. ZEC also showed a concentrated risk band around $1,400 to $1,420, totaling about $16.68 million, with most of that exposure tied to a single account. The figures were cited by BlockBeats, referencing TradingBeats monitoring.
