How Does Market Sentiment React to a Reported Drop in the Fund’s Size?
A reported drop in the insurance fund's size, especially a sudden and significant one, often leads to negative market sentiment. It signals that the exchange has experienced a major liquidation event and its risk mitigation system has been severely tested.
This can cause traders to lose confidence in the exchange's stability, potentially leading to a reduction in open interest and trading volume as participants reduce their exposure.
