The price of Bitcoin dropped by 11.5% over a two-day period, resulting in significant liquidations of long positions and hitting a two-month low. Despite the belief that professional traders have an edge in predicting price shifts, they were caught off guard by the sudden crash. Margin longs at Bitfinex and OKX were high, indicating bullish sentiment, but this did not anticipate the market correction. Futures long-to-short data also showed that professional traders were unprepared for the price drop, suggesting they did not profit from it.

Bitcoin's recent rally above $30,000 is supported by strong macroeconomic data, but investors are questioning its sustainability. However, Bitcoin derivatives metrics show no excessive leverage from longs, indicating a healthy market structure. Professional traders have kept their leverage long positions unchanged, and Bitcoin futures traders have not added leveraged bullish positions. Therefore, BTC price can easily rally another 10% to $33,000 given sellers are currently scared to short it.
