The pullback does not appear to stem from any major fundamental developments, but rather from speculative positioning in the derivatives market.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"757\" data-end=\"1006\">The perpetual Futures market has become increasingly active, with traders positioning for further downside, particularly in the short term.
