On the eve of the Federal Reserve's decision, leveraged funds rebuilt 1,669 BTC bears

According to Woofun AI, leveraged funds quickly re-established their bearish defenses on the eve of the Federal Reserve's decision, adding 1,669 new Bitcoin (BTC) short positions, and risk aversion in the market heated up significantly.

According to data compiled by Woofun AI, hedge funds and fund management institutions regulated by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) had a net increase of 1,668 Bitcoin shorts in the four regulated Bitcoin futures markets as of September 8. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) dominated this trend, adding 888 bears and 616 longs to its 5-bitcoin contract, and net shorts added 272 contracts, equivalent to 1,360 bitcoins, accounting for 81.5% of the week's total change.

In markets outside the CFTC alternative position category, short positions increased 4,965 bitcoins and long positions increased 3,296 bitcoins in the four contract markets. This imbalance has amplified the overall net short size, but two-way growth has revealed the complexity of the position structure, indicating that capital operations are not simply shorting transactions, but involve more sophisticated risk management strategies.

Market expectations for this Federal Reserve meeting have profoundly affected investors' risk-taking behavior. Although the increase in position of 1,669 bitcoins shows that the fund was laid out before the relevant events, the available data is insufficient to confirm that this is a speculative operation to gamble on Bitcoin's decline after the Federal Reserve's resolution was introduced.
