Bitcoin recently increased by 7% due to institutional demand, breaking through the $71,700 resistance level and maintaining a bullish structure. However, market leverage has risen rapidly, posing potential risks. Continuous spot demand is needed to avoid liquidation-triggered volatility.

Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 5th, according to CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn, Bitcoin price has recently increased by 7%, rising from $68,000 to $73,500. This surge is mainly driven by strong institutional demand. Coinbase premium gap soared to $61, indicating that US institutional investors are flooding into the market. Hyblock data shows that $790 million worth of Bitcoin was purchased through TWAP orders, a typical strategy used by large investors to increase holdings without overly impacting the market.

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin has broken through the key resistance level of $71,700 and remains above it, confirming a breakout and maintaining a bullish structure.

However, the analyst also warns of potential risks. Leverage in the derivatives market has rapidly increased, with Bitcoin and Ethereum adding $3.55 billion (+18%) and $1.8 billion (+17%) respectively. These new positions require sustained spot demand to stay stable. If buying support weakens, over-leveraged positions could be quickly liquidated, intensifying market volatility.
