- Investor leverage has plunged to levels similar to the China mining ban amidst geopolitical tensions, with the fastest drop since that event.
- Geopolitical tensions, particularly between the U.S. and Iran, have led to a rapid decline in Effective Leverage Ratio (ELR), causing panic exits in the market.
- Key points include a sharp drop in Open Interest due to forced and voluntary closures, intensified liquidations amid recent volatility, and active risk reduction by traders.
