ARC has been holding my focus lately. The market cap to open interest ratio sitting around 0.8x is what catches the eye—that kind of leverage density typically stays dormant until someone gets caught holding the wrong side. It actually explains why the price action feels so controlled and why it's trading with relatively low correlation to Bitcoin movements. Should this ratio shift, you're more likely seeing perpetual futures volume kicking things off rather than spot buying leading the charge.

NGL, the 0.8x ratio for ARC is indeed strange. It feels like waiting for some big event to explode.

The 0.8x leverage is really a bit tight; just waiting for some unlucky trader to get liquidated.

With a ratio of 0.8x, this is a sign of a looming crash. It was about time to be cautious. When the ratio reverses, perpetual contracts will take off. Just watch. This wave of leverage density is too bizarre. It feels like big players are waiting for prey to hook. The current disconnection from BTC is so severe, indicating that the initiative is in the hands of the whales. Whenever the ratio moves, a liquidation wave is imminent. Everyone, be mentally prepared. What seems calm on the surface is actually the calm before the storm. Experience tells me this is not a good sign. Is a perpetual bullish trend coming? Or am I overthinking it? What do you all think?
