Hi Matt121
No, but if you had a "put" (sell) contract expiring tomorrow that was 10x leverage taken in Dec @ 52,000 strike price for example (so essentially you bet in Dec that btc price would be below 52k in 3 months ie March end) and you pocket the difference in your contract price and the strike price, then you would want the price to be as low as possible. So if you held actual bitcoin, you'd sell them, to gain your 10x contract, and buy back your btc later.
Which is possibly one of the reasons why the price often bounces back after, as the big players buy back in.
A great example now is there are 'call" contracts at 80k, which means that many believe btc will be 80k+ by June, and are taking contracts out accordingly to gain.
