This indicates a potential vulnerability where aggressive shorting on **[Deribit]** is occurring amidst broader market open interest expansion, suggesting a possible short squeeze if the dominant Absorption regime holds. The overall market regime is Absorption with 89% consensus, yet several key instruments, including **[Binance BTCUSDT]** and **[BybitInverse BTCUSD]**, are classified as Indeterminate with [Elevated leverage](https://thru.capital/ontology#elevated-leverage).
