Bitcoin has experienced another turbulent week marked by sustained downward pressure, reinforcing the broader bearish sentiment that has dominated the market in recent months. Despite late market relief on Friday, the leading cryptocurrency has struggled to reclaim key resistance levels and presently hovers around the $69,000 price region. Meanwhile, analysts continue to rely on on-chain data to evaluate investor behavior and forecast Bitcoin’s possible trajectory in the coming weeks. Related Reading: When Will Bitcoin Bounce Back? Top Analyst Breaks Down Prior Major Corrections CPI Data Lifts Risk Sentiment And Bitcoin Futures Activity In a recent QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, seasoned analyst Amir Taha draws attention to the Bitcoin market’s reaction to the latest release of the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. The market expert notes that inflation reading came in at 2.4%, surpassing market expectations and driving renewed optimism across risk assets, e.g., Bitcoin. Following the CPI announcement, derivatives data from Binance shows a sharp increase in Bitcoin market activity. Firstly, there was a notable spike in Net Taker Volume, where a single hourly reading recorded over $265 million. The Net Taker Volume measures aggressive trading behavior in futures markets, and such a high positive value indicates buyers rushed to open long positions, likely in anticipation of a price rebound. Additionally, the rise in Open Interest (OI) percent change suggests that traders are committing new capital into leveraged positions rather than simply closing existing trades. This surge in leveraged exposure highlights renewed speculative appetite but simultaneously introduces heightened liquidation risk if price momentum reverses.

Bitcoin Indicators Reveal Short-Term Stress But Long-Term Stability While the derivatives markets reflect growing bullish positioning, on-chain metrics suggest underlying fragility among short-term participants. The Short-Term Holder to Long-Term Holder (STH-LTH) Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) indicator recently declined to 0.72, falling below previous local bottoms recorded in August 2024 and April 2025. Notably, this level indicates that STH is currently holding average unrealized losses of approximately 44%. Historically, similar declines have coincided with capitulation phases, during which weaker market participants close positions due to emotional or financial pressure. Taha shares a further confirmation of this divergence using the STH-LTH Net Position Realized Cap data. Short-term holders have recorded a steep decline, with realized cap value dropping to approximately -$57 billion, indicating substantial realized losses. Conversely, long-term holders maintain a positive realized cap near $35 billion, demonstrating continued resilience and accumulation tendencies despite a major market panic among distressed short-term traders. Taken together, the post-CPI surge in leveraged long positions alongside mounting losses among short-term holders points toward elevated market instability. As a result, Bitcoin investors should anticipate significant volatility in the near term, as the market continues to await a decisive shift in macroeconomic or on-chain momentum to establish a clear trajectory. At press time, Bitcoin trades at $68,929, reflecting a 5.06% increase in the past day. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin is hovering near key liquidity zones after a week of downward momentum, and traders are now eyeing untapped areas around $64,000. With price action showing potential short-term swings and H1 support under close watch, the next move could hinge on whether Bitcoin tests this low or reclaims higher levels first. Weekend Range Sets The Stage For Next Week’s Moves After a week of downward momentum, Bitcoin has stepped into a key liquidity area. According to Lennaert Snyder, the market is currently forming a range, which could provide clear trading opportunities in the coming week. While weekend trading isn’t his focus, observing the price action now helps plan next week’s approach. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Market Structure May Be Changing — This Metric Explains Why Liquidity is concentrated around the $71,422 range high, and the reaction to a retest of this zone will be important. Testing the range high could trigger short positions if the bearish market structure break (MSB) holds, or offer long opportunities if Bitcoin successfully reclaims the area. On the lower side, the $64,500 low and all liquidity beneath it remain largely untouched, making this a critical zone to monitor. When the market reaches these levels, traders will be watching for either high-probability reversals for long entries or continuation shorts if the support fails. The interplay between the range high at ~$71,422 and the lows around $64,500 will likely dictate the next significant swings, offering strategic opportunities for those tracking both sides of the market. Bitcoin Eyes Short-Term Breakout Before Possible Pullback BTC is showing short-term activity that suggests a minor push higher before resuming lower moves. Crypto analyst Scient highlighted that the H1 support/resistance level at $68,000, which was rejected two days ago, has now been broken and flipped, signaling a shift in short-term momentum. Related Reading: Bitcoin Social Sentiment Stays Bearish Even As Price Recovers From $60,000 Drop From the current setup, a new bearish channel is beginning to form. As part of this structure, Bitcoin is likely to sweep liquidity in the near term before heading lower. Observing these smaller intraday moves can provide traders with clues about how the market intends to reach its next major zones. Key levels to watch include the premium zone high at $72,200 and the untapped stacked liquidity above it, sitting between $73,000 and $74,000. These areas could attract buyers temporarily, creating a minor push toward the $73,000 region before the broader downtrend resumes. Traders should monitor price behavior closely when approaching these levels. On the downside, the H1 support at $68,000 remains critical. A clean break below this zone could accelerate the drop earlier than expected, confirming the bearish channel. Maintaining awareness of both the short-term push higher and this key support will help identify high-probability setups in the immediate timeframe.

The XRP price continues to struggle amid bear pressure within the market. On Friday, XRP rose by about 5.7%, which, while positive, was only a relief to an initial 7.1% loss seen earlier during the week. Meanwhile, a recent on-chain evaluation suggests that the XRP market could soon be entering an accumulation phase that could pave the way for strong market demand and recovery. Related Reading: XRP Set To Dethrone Bitcoin Within 6 Years, Entrepreneur Says XRP Exchange Reserves Fall To 2024 Lows In a recent post on QuickTake, pseudonymous analyst CryptoOnchain reveals that the amount of XRP on the Binance exchange has dipped extensively to the downside of the charts. This post derives its credibility from the XRP Ledger: Exchange Reserve – Binance metric. CryptoOnchain explains that the XRP exchange reserves have recently fallen to levels as low as 2.5 billion XRP. This level, notes the analyst, is the lowest yet since the early months of 2024. As of November 2024, the Binance reserves had peaked at approximately 3.2 billion in XRP, and have since taken on a downward trend. Compared to its current readings, it becomes apparent that investors have pulled more than 700 million XRP off Binance in the past 15 months. Usually, when coins are moved en masse to exchanges, it signals preparedness among investors to offload their tokens. On the other hand, reduced inflows to exchanges reflect increasing reluctance to shave off holdings and growing investor conviction. Hence, CryptoOnchain explains that the outflow of XRP from exchanges suggests a significant reduction in sell-side liquidity. Related Reading: Bitcoin NUPL Back In Hope/Fear Region: What Happens Next? Declining Reserves, Possible Sign Of Accumulation: Analyst CryptoOnchain further explains that declining exchange reserves have often served as signs of upcoming accumulation, and could be a bullish signal in the short-term. This is because, as has been mentioned earlier, lower holdings on exchanges reflect declining appetite among market participants towards selling their holdings. Interestingly, CryptoOnchain also points out that this current trend in exchange reserves could be telling us that investors are moving their assets out of exchanges into cold storage in order to focus on long-term growth. This present scenario paints a more optimistic view for the XRP price. The crypto pundit summarizes the situation, stating that XRP reserves hitting a two-year low could create a supply shock such that any rebound in market demand could initiate a significant price gain. As of press time, XRP holds a valuation of $1.40. CoinMarketCap data reflects that the cryptocurrency has seen a 3.07% gain over the past 24 hours.

Over the past week, the Bitcoin price kept on putting in consecutive lows, with barely any hopes in sight for a bullish reversal. However, on Friday, February 13th, the flagship cryptocurrency saw an upward momentum boost, where its value subsequently grew by 5.4%. While this may have been good for short-term traders (specifically scalpers), a troubling future seems to be lying in wait for the premier cryptocurrency. This bearish prognosis is based on a recent technical evaluation of the Bitcoin price. SuperTrend Indicator Flashes Sell Sign On BTC Monthly Timeframe In a 14 February post on social media platform X, influential technical analyst Ali Martinez revealed that the Bitcoin market could soon experience a significant macro trend shift. This hypothesis is based on the SuperTrend Indicator, which is a technical tool that indicates whether an asset (in this case, Bitcoin) is in an uptrend or in a downtrend. Related Reading: Solana Reclaims $80 Amid Friday Market Bounce – Analysts Set Next Targets This indicator plots a trailing level that acts as dynamic support when the price is in an uptrend, or resistance when in a downtrend. When the price is above the SuperTrend line, the market is considered to be in an uptrend; while when the price is below the line, on the other hand, it indicates that the market is in a downtrend. When a candle closes decisively beneath the dynamic trend line when previously in an uptrend, it indicates that the market has now flipped bearish, and vice versa. Interestingly, on the monthly timeframe, the candle now trades beneath the SuperTrend line, indicating that the market may be leaning bearish. Interestingly, the current setup shares semblance with past cycle transitions. From the chart shared by the analyst, it is clear that Bitcoin’s macro structure has gone through a series of expansions and deep retracements. These retracements were also properly illustrated on the indicator in their early stages. Before the late 2014-2015, the 2018, and the 2022 bear markets, the SuperTrend Indicator flashed a sell signal, after which the market entered a bearish phase. Considering the sell signal was seen on Bitcoin’s monthly chart, this could be a sign that the retracement here might be long-term, as expected in a typical bear market. However, it is worth noting that the present market dynamics are very different from previous cycles, as institutions are more involved and ETFs have expanded investor horizons. Hence, these underlying changes might play a role in the present cycle. If the sell signal from the SuperTrend indicator aligns with on-chain activity and macro events, and Bitcoin manages to close beneath the SuperTrend line, a bear market would likely follow, one where Bitcoin’s devaluation by at least 60% may be seen. On the other hand, if new demand enters the Bitcoin market, and the flagship cryptocurrency demonstrates resilience, the current signal could become a short-term warning, rather than a bear-market signal. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, Bitcoin holds a valuation of about $68,984, reflecting a 4.5% price jump in the past 24 hours. According to CoinGecko data, the world’s largest cryptocurrency has shrunk in value by approximately 29% on the monthly timeframe.
