THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Following Bitcoin’s correction dropping to as low as $74,000 earlier this month amid the recent global tariff war, the asset has now begun to see steady recovery with its price hovering above $85,000 after a 10% surge in the past week as President Trump’s 90-day tariff pause affecting all countries except China. The announcement helped ease market concerns, contributing to renewed momentum in both equity and digital asset markets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds Above 365-Day Moving Average, But Market Sentiment Remains Subdued Bitcoin Whales Show Restraint as Market Climbs As Bitcoin finds its footing in upward momentum, a new analysis from CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost suggests that large holders on Binance—one of the most active crypto exchanges—are responding to macroeconomic uncertainty with a cautious, but notably non-reactive, approach. The insights were detailed in a post titled “How Are Binance Whales Reacting to Market Uncertainty?” which examined key on-chain metrics. According to Darkfost, two primary indicators reveal the evolving behavior of Binance whales. The first, the Exchange Whale Ratio (EWR), compares the top 10 inflows to total inflows on Binance to gauge whale involvement. A rising 365-day moving average (DMA) for the EWR reflects a growing concentration of inflows from large holders over time, indicating their stronger influence during long-term trends. However, a recent decline in the 30DMA points to reduced short-term activity. This suggests that whales may be taking a step back from active trading, neither selling aggressively nor showing signs of panic. The second metric, Whale to Exchange Flow, analyzes the value of whale inflows to Binance over a 30-day period. Here too, the trend is down—falling over $3 billion, mirroring similar drawdowns observed during past corrections in 2024. Combined, these signals suggest that Binance whales are opting to hold their positions rather than sell into current market conditions, potentially signaling confidence in longer-term prospects despite ongoing uncertainty. Buying Strength Persists Despite Uncertain Outlook In a related CryptoQuant post, analyst Mignolet highlighted a continued pattern of buying strength on Binance. According to the analyst, the market buy ratio—an indicator tracking the volume of market buy orders—has not only remained intact but has recently surpassed previous highs. This trend highlights persistent demand despite recent market corrections and volatility. The recurring nature of this pattern suggests that there is underlying buyer strength even as external macroeconomic forces, such as trade policies and regulatory shifts, continue to influence sentiment.

As Bitcoin (BTC) recovers from its five-month low, the cryptocurrency attempts to reclaim the $84,000 resistance. Some market watchers suggest that more volatility could be around the counter, as the price is compressing between two key levels. Related Reading: Ethereum ‘Set For Potential Rally’ After 10% Surge – Can ETH Recover $1,800? Bitcoin Retests 4-Month Downtrend Line Over the past week, Bitcoin has been trading between the $74,000-$84,000 price range following the recent tariff war-related volatility. After hitting a one-week high of $84,720, the flagship crypto hit a five-month low of $74,773, driven by this week’s market correction. Amid this performance, the cryptocurrency risked a 13.7% drop to the $69,000 support, as it generally needs a daily close above the $78,500 level for a potential short-term rebound. However, BTC’s price has surged 13.5% since Monday’s lows and attempted to reclaim the $84,000 resistance. The market recovery was fueled by US President Donald Trump’s 90-day pause on the trade tariffs for over 75 nations, which saw the crypto market and stock prices jump 6%-10% in an hour this Wednesday. Nonetheless, the tariffs-driven rally slowed Thursday, with Bitcoin retracing nearly 5% to the $79,000 support. Analyst Alex Clay asserted that despite the bullish rally, BTC’s price needed to reclaim the broken $80,000 support and break through the descending 4-month resistance as its short-term structure continued looking bearish. During BTC’s 7% surge in the past 24 hours, the analyst highlighted the key support zone held, invalidating his bearish scenario. However, a breakout and reclaim confirmation of the $84,000 remained crucial for BTC’s price. BTC Preparing For More Volatility? Analyst Rekt Capital pointed out that Bitcoin successfully retested the $78,500 support, but its price was rejected from the 4-month downtrend resistance. Therefore, the flagship crypto’s price is now compressing between these two levels, which usually “precedes volatility.” The analyst also noted that BTC is “developing yet another Higher Low on the RSI while forming Lower Lows on the price.” During this cycle, the cryptocurrency has formed multiple bullish RSI divergences in the daily chart, each preceding a reversal to the levels. Bitcoin’s Daily RSI equaled 2022 Bear Market RSI levels (RSI=23.93) when price crashed into the high $70,000s. The only lower Daily RSI in this cycle was back in August 2023 (RSI=18.28). Throughout this cycle, each visit into sub-25 RSI resulted in a trend reversal to the upside over time. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Needs 15% Bounce After Multi-Year Support Retest, Recovery Ahead? Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggested that BTC could see a retrace back to the $74,000 support zone. He observed that Bitcoin’s movements within its weekly range display a W-shape to the upper boundary, and its price action seemed to be forming an M-shape after Thursday’s retrace and Friday’s jump, which eyes the range’s lower boundary. On the contrary, the analyst also highlighted Bitcoin’s Friday performance, affirming that it “is slicing through key resistance at $82,360.” Notably, BTC’s price then jumped toward the $84,000 barrier, hitting a daily high of $84,220 before retracing to the $83,500 mark. According to Martinez, “A sustained breakout could open the door to $91,500.” As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $83,640, a 1% decline in the weekly timeframe.

Bitcoin is facing a crucial test as its price continues to swing without clear direction, navigating a tense and uncertain macroeconomic environment. While volatility persists, many analysts believe the worst phase of the correction may be over. After dropping over 30% from its all-time high, Bitcoin has managed to hold above key support levels, reinforcing short-term optimism. Related Reading: Solana Eyes $200 Target As It Gains Momentum – Recovery Could Mirror 3-Month Downtrend However, global tensions—driven by escalating trade disputes and aggressive tariff policies from the US—are shaking financial markets. The specter of a global recession looms large, making investors cautious across both traditional and digital asset classes. Despite the noise, on-chain data from Glassnode adds a layer of optimism. According to their latest analysis, 63% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply has not moved in at least one year. This historic level of dormant supply highlights the growing conviction among long-term holders, who are weathering the current volatility without panic. Such behavior reinforces the belief that Bitcoin’s foundation remains solid, even as short-term traders exit the market. The strong hands are holding firm, and their resilience could lay the groundwork for the next major move—once macroeconomic conditions begin to stabilize. Bitcoin Holds Strong Amid Global Volatility: Rising Long-Term Conviction Massive price swings continue to shake both crypto and equities markets as volatility intensifies in response to rising global tensions and unresolved macroeconomic threats. Bitcoin, however, has held strong above the $81K level, suggesting that a potential recovery may be taking shape. The 90-day pause on U.S. tariffs—excluding China—offered temporary relief, but uncertainty still dominates investor sentiment. Ongoing trade conflicts between the United States and China threaten global economic stability, with many analysts warning of a potential recession if no resolution is reached. These fears are weighing heavily on risk assets across the board. Despite the challenging backdrop, Bitcoin’s performance suggests underlying resilience. Bulls are gradually regaining momentum after the recent sharp correction, and many market watchers believe the worst phase of the drawdown may be over. Adding to the optimism, top analyst Quinten Francois shared Glassnode data revealing that 63% of the Bitcoin supply has not moved in at least a year. This metric, often associated with strong long-term conviction, shows that the majority of Bitcoin holders are choosing to hold through volatility rather than sell into weakness. It reflects a maturing investor base with confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value, even amid global uncertainty. If current support levels continue to hold and macro conditions stabilize, Bitcoin may be on the verge of a sustained recovery. Related Reading: Ethereum Long-Term Holders Show Signs Of Capitulation – Prime Accumulation Zone? BTC Price Stalls Below Key Resistance After Bullish Surge Bitcoin is currently trading at $82,600 following a strong surge that helped the asset recover from recent lows. The move has brought some short-term optimism to the market, especially as BTC managed to reclaim the $81K level—a key support zone that now needs to hold for bullish momentum to continue. However, significant resistance lies ahead. The price stopped near the 4-hour 200 Moving Average, currently sitting around $83,500. This technical level has consistently acted as a short-term barrier since Bitcoin lost the $100K mark, and bulls need a decisive breakout above it to confirm the beginning of a true reversal. If Bitcoin can break and hold above $83,500, the next immediate target is the $85K zone. Reclaiming that range could open the path for a push toward the $88K–$90K resistance band and potentially resume the longer-term uptrend.

On the flip side, failing to hold above $81K would signal weakness and likely invite renewed selling pressure. A breakdown below $80K would reinforce bearish sentiment, possibly triggering a fresh wave of panic selling and sending BTC back toward the $75K support zone. Bulls must act quickly to defend current levels and push higher. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView 

Bitcoin and other crypto assets faced headwinds in the first quarter of 2025 as global economic tensions intensified. After a strong start to the year driven by optimism over President Donald Trump’s return and supportive macroeconomic expectations, the crypto market struggled with a sharp drop in trading volumes. According to a new report by Kaiko, the tariff measures introduced by the Trump administration contributed to increased volatility and risk-off behavior among market participants. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Bottom In After Trump’s Tariff Pause? Here’s What To Expect Crypto Q1 Volume and Liquidity Performance Bitcoin, which had rallied to new highs in January, has now fallen by over 25% from its peak, ending the quarter down approximately 12%. Ethereum and the top altcoins also saw declines, with AI and memecoins posting average losses above 50%. Weekly volumes for BTC, ETH, and other major tokens averaged $266 billion, down 30% from levels seen in late 2024. Kaiko attributed much of the decline to offshore exchange activity falling and traders pulling back due to rapid market swings and uncertainty. U.S.-based exchanges maintained strong market depth despite broader selloffs, buffering the impact on Bitcoin’s liquidity. Platforms like Coinbase, Kraken, and CEX.IO collectively comprised 60% of BTC’s market depth in Q1. This allowed BTC to outperform many altcoins, which suffered from both reduced demand and thinner liquidity. Kaiko noted that this environment favored larger-cap assets and further highlighted the resilience of BTC compared to other riskier assets in the crypto space. The report noted: Altcoin volatility surged in early 2025, reaching multi-year or all-time highs for certain tokens, notably Cardano’s ADA. Bitcoin’s volatility also rose, from 34% in February to 51% in March, though it stayed below the peaks observed during last August’s carry trade unwinding. The growing volatility gap between Bitcoin and altcoins may discourage risk-averse traders from entering the market in the near future. The Path Ahead: Outlook For Q2 Looking forward, Kaiko analysts believe the second quarter could offer renewed opportunities. The White House’s recent decision to delay tariff implementation by 90 days has already sparked a short-term rally, suggesting sensitivity to macroeconomic developments remains high. More importantly, structural tailwinds are building: the expansion of the stablecoin market, pending ETF approvals for altcoins, and the appointment of pro-crypto SEC Chair Paul Atkins could all support a recovery In addition, the stablecoin sector, led by USDT and USDC, has grown 33% since late 2024, now exceeding $230 billion in supply. Historical data from Kaiko suggests that expansions in stablecoin supply often precede broader crypto rallies. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Crushed: $500 Million Liquidation Shakes Market Confidence With over 40 crypto-related ETF applications pending review and two stablecoin bills gaining momentum in Congress, the potential for renewed institutional participation is rising. Kaiko’s report concluded that if market volatility subsides and regulatory clarity improves, Q2 may mark a shift in sentiment. While risks remain from geopolitical tensions and economic policies, the combination of macro catalysts and maturing infrastructure may pave the way for renewed growth, particularly for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin has felt the impact of the ongoing global tariff tensions, with little to no upward momentum. The asset appears to have paused its bull run, dampening investor expectations for a near-term recovery. Currently trading just above $77,000, BTC has declined nearly 30% from its all-time high, including a 1.6% drop in the last 24 hours. Amid this, a recent insight from CryptoQuant contributor Onchained suggests that Bitcoin is nearing a significant threshold that could determine the asset’s next major direction. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst: 33% Chance Bitcoin Already Topped—Brace For $52,000 Bitcoin Realized Price Levels in Focus Onchained’s latest analysis points to the convergence of Bitcoin’s spot price with its 2-Year Realized Price. This metric, derived from on-chain data, calculates the average acquisition cost of coins moved on the blockchain within the past two years. This price band often serves as a meaningful support level, particularly in transition phases between bear and bull markets. Historically, Bitcoin maintaining price action above the 2-year Realized Price has signaled underlying strength among long-term holders. Onchained noted that BTC has stayed above this line since October 2023, a sign of sustained investor confidence. If Bitcoin continues to hold this level, it may indicate the establishment of a new value floor, potentially setting the stage for renewed buying pressure. The analysis adds that a bounce off this support zone could be interpreted as an influx of capital from investors seeing this price level as a strategic accumulation point. However, a breakdown below the 2-year Realized Price could trigger a deeper correction or a longer period of consolidation. Related Reading: Short-Term Holders Under Pressure as Bitcoin Slides—Capitulation Coming? Long Liquidations Amplify Market Volatility In a separate update, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost highlighted a significant event that shook the derivatives market. On April 6, the largest Bitcoin long liquidation event of the current bull cycle occurred, wiping out roughly 7,500 BTC in long positions. The liquidation marked the highest daily volume of forced long position closures since the bull market began. According to Darkfost, this event was largely triggered by rising volatility and uncertainty stemming from US economic policy concerns.

The analyst emphasized that such liquidation events serve as reminders of the risks associated with high-leverage positions during uncertain macroeconomic conditions. Darkfost wrote: This is a clear reminder that we need to stay cautious during periods of rising volatility like today. This is the time to care and preserve your capital.

Bitcoin is currently trading at $76,899, marking a 3.7% decline in the past 24 hours and a 29.4% drop from its all-time high above $109,000 recorded in January. After falling below $80,000 on Sunday, the digital asset has struggled to reclaim upward momentum, reflecting persistent selling pressure in the broader crypto market. While price action continues to dominate headlines, on-chain data reveals deeper shifts in market dynamics. A recent analysis by CryptoQuant contributor Onchained highlights a notable transition in Bitcoin ownership patterns.  Related Reading: Next Bitcoin Peak Delayed To Late 2026, Business Cycle Expert Warns Bitcoin Short-Term Losses and Long-Term Accumulation In the post titled “Short-Term Capitulation Meets Long-Term Conviction: A Structural Shift in Bitcoin Ownership,” the analyst identified structural changes between short-term and long-term holders, providing insights into the asset’s underlying market behavior. According to the insight, Bitcoin has seen a ~15% drawdown from $88,000 to $74,400 over the past week. On April 7, Short-Term Holders (STH) realized a significant $10 billion drop in their realized cap—a metric reflecting the price at which coins were last moved—marking their largest single-day loss of the cycle. This decline was met with an almost equivalent $9.7 billion increase in Long-Term Holders’ (LTH) realized cap, suggesting a substantial transfer of coins from recent buyers to more experienced holders. By April 8, realized losses from STHs declined to $693 million, indicating a possible exhaustion of panic selling. In contrast, LTHs continued increasing their cost basis by an additional $1.13 billion, reflecting ongoing accumulation despite minimal price recovery. Onchained interprets this as a typical sign of supply transitioning from weaker hands to those with higher conviction, which has historically occurred near market bottoms or early recovery stages. The analyst noted: “This is not merely a coincidence: this is the market transferring coins from weak to strong hands.” Adding: Long-term investors are stepping in with conviction: buying weakness and absorbing supply. – This behavior has historically marked the late stages of corrections or the early phase of recovery. Potential Impact on Market Structure This divergence between STH and LTH behavior may hold broader implications for Bitcoin’s market structure. As STHs reduce their holdings, potential short-term sell pressure and overhead resistance may decline. At the same time, rising accumulation by LTHs suggests confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects, even amid current volatility. Historically, similar patterns have preceded stabilization or trend reversals. A shrinking supply in the hands of reactive traders coupled with consistent buying by long-term participants can form the foundation for renewed price support. Whether this shift signals the end of the current correction or an early stage of recovery remains to be confirmed, but on-chain trends continue to suggest meaningful repositioning within the Bitcoin market.

Bitcoin has not been immune to the ongoing global tariff dispute, which has rippled across financial markets and placed pressure on equities and digital assets. Over the past two weeks, Bitcoin has dropped by more than 10%, slipping under $75,000 earlier today—a level last seen in November 2024. The pullback coincides with broader market volatility coming from rising geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Amid this ongoing price move, a crypto analyst has suggested that the behavior of short-term holders during episodes like this is crucial in assessing the extent of ongoing market corrections. Related Reading: Bitcoin Dips Below $75K As Markets Tremble: What’s Going On? Short-Term Holders Show Early Signs of Stress According to CryptoQuant contributor Yonsei Dent, the current price action reveals important insights into investor behavior. Dent’s latest analysis centers on the STH-SOPR (Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio), a metric that measures whether coins moved by recent buyers are being sold at a profit or loss. A reading below 1.0 indicates that holders are realizing losses, a sign often interpreted as capitulation. While Bitcoin’s price has declined significantly, Dent points out that the STH-SOPR has not yet breached extreme levels seen in past correction events. Unlike major capitulation periods in 2024—such as those in May, July, and August—the current SOPR remains near its mean value, indicating that many short-term holders are not yet exiting their positions en masse. The absence of widespread capitulation raises questions about the potential for further downside. Dent warns that if selling pressure among short-term holders intensifies, the market could experience another wave of losses. Related Reading: Analyst Uncovers Clues—Is Bitcoin’s Historic Bull Cycle Finally Topping Out? For now, all eyes remain on the $78,000 support level, which may act as a key test for whether Bitcoin can stabilize or if deeper correction lies ahead. Yonsei Dent wrote: If STHs begin to exit more aggressively, the market could face further downside pressure. In the near term, close attention should be paid to whether the $78,000 support level can hold, as it may serve as a key line in the sand for the current market structure. Technical Outlook On Bitcoin Meanwhile, technical analysts’ outlook on BTC is slightly different. According to an analyst known as Merlijn The Trader on X, BTC is currently in what is termed the “green zone” where it is an ideal opportunity for accumulation. BITCOIN IS IN THE GREEN ZONE.

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, continues to exhibit uncertain momentum since hitting its all-time high above $109,000 in January 2024. Since then, the digital asset has experienced diminished bullish activity and steady downward pressure, reflected by its latest price of approximately $82,000, marking a marginal weekly drop of about 0.6%. Related Reading: Bitcoin Market Sentiment Worsens as Bull Score Index Drops to 10 Market Implications of Volume Ratio Trends Amid these market conditions, Crypto Dan, an analyst contributing to CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform, has provided insights highlighting a notable market trend. According to Dan, Bitcoin’s trading volume over six to twelve months acts as an indicator of the amount of capital entering the cryptocurrency market during specific market cycles. As highlighted in the chart shared, the metric typically undergoes two distinct phases of decline: the first signals the conclusion of the early bull cycle phase, while the second, lower drop, traditionally marks the peak and subsequent end of the cycle. The volume ratio trend outlined by Crypto Dan provides insights into investor behavior and market sentiment. Essentially, as this ratio decreases for the second time, historical patterns suggest that investor interest and speculative activity may begin to taper, potentially signaling the culmination of the ongoing bull run. Investors typically interpret such movements cautiously, as similar past events often preceded significant corrections in the market Technical Analysts View on Bitcoin Technical analysts add additional perspectives on Bitcoin’s current status. Analyst RektCapital recently pointed out significant developments in Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI)—a momentum oscillator measuring the speed and magnitude of recent price movements to assess overbought or oversold conditions. RektCapital highlighted that the Monthly RSI level of 60 previously represented resistance levels during Bitcoin’s dominance peaks in August 2019 and December 2020. #BTC Dominance The Monthly RSI 60 (green) represented the peak for Bitcoin Dominance in August 2019 & December 2020 In previous cycles, Monthly RSI 60 was the ceiling In this cycle, Monthly RSI 60 is the floor$BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin pic.twitter.com/G47KSa33ZR — Rekt Capital (@rektcapital) April 4, 2025 Notably, this cycle differs, with the Monthly RSI 60 acting as a support floor rather than resistance. This change could suggest ongoing strength and potential resilience in Bitcoin’s price. Meanwhile, Javon Marks, another market analyst, emphasizes a bullish chart pattern currently forming for Bitcoin. Related Reading: Corporate Bitcoin Buying Hits Record Levels, Yet Prices Are Down—Here’s Why Marks believes these signals indicate an impending significant rally, suggesting that despite current market caution, underlying indicators remain strong, hinting at future bullish momentum.

Bitcoin’s price appears to have resumed its downward trajectory after briefly recovering to the $87,000 level earlier this week. At the time of writing, Bitcoin has experienced a 5.7% decline in the past 24 hours, bringing its price significantly below recent highs. Currently, BTC is down approximately 24.7% from its all-time high recorded above $109,000 in January, highlighting ongoing bearish pressure in the market. As Bitcoin continues to navigate turbulent market conditions, analysts are paying close attention to various indicators to predict the asset’s next move. Related Reading: Analyst Identifies Key Bitcoin Demand Zone For ‘Substantial Gains’ – Details Bull Score Index and Spent Output Age Bands Indicator CryptoQuant analyst Julio Moreno recently highlighted the significance of the CryptoQuant Bull Score Index, a tool designed to measure market sentiment for Bitcoin. According to Moreno, the Bull Score Index has been flashing bearish signals—below the critical threshold of 40—since Bitcoin traded around $96,000. At present, the Index has dropped even further, reaching a remarkably low level of 10, indicating severely bearish market conditions. The Bull Score Index is a metric developed to quantify the bullish or bearish sentiment of the Bitcoin market. Scores closer to 100 indicate highly bullish sentiment, suggesting strong buying momentum, while scores approaching 0 indicate overwhelmingly bearish conditions, with significant selling pressure and negative market sentiment. With the index now at 10, investor confidence appears notably weakened, pointing towards caution in the short term. Adding to these bearish signals, another CryptoQuant analyst, Maartunn, reported increased activity among older BTC holders, known as “Spent Output Age Bands.” This indicator measures the age of Bitcoin that is actively being moved or transacted. When a large volume of older coins (coins held for several years) is moved, it typically suggests that long-term holders might be preparing to sell. 1,057 Bitcoin that hadn’t moved in 7–10 years just woke up. Long-term holders may be preparing to sell. https://t.co/A6I7Mo3ljX — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 3, 2025 Maartunn noted that over 1,057 BTC aged between 7 to 10 years recently moved, pushing this indicator above the critical 50 threshold, signifying potential increased selling pressure from long-term investors. Contrasting Views from Technical Indicators Despite these bearish warnings, some analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s potential near-term performance. Crypto analyst Javon Marks has pointed to the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum indicator that measures the speed and change of recent price movements, to justify his bullish stance. A breakout in the RSI typically signals growing bullish momentum and could precede significant price increases. According to Marks, Bitcoin’s daily RSI has recently held its breakout level, similar to previous bullish occurrences that have historically preceded significant upward moves. Related Reading: Corporate Bitcoin Buying Hits Record Levels, Yet Prices Are Down—Here’s Why However, another analyst known as Titan of Crypto has issued a cautionary note. Titan stressed that Bitcoin needs to maintain its position within a key support channel and keep the weekly RSI above important support levels to avoid further correction. If Bitcoin fails to hold these levels, Titan predicts that a deeper market downturn could ensue, causing additional challenges for traders and investors.

Bitcoin has seen a notable price consolidation over the past few weeks, trading between the $84,000 and $86,000 levels. Despite the initial surge in price, the cryptocurrency has faced a decline of 3.7% in the past week and nearly 10% in the past month, signaling a period of stagnation in its upward momentum. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is priced at $84,263, raising questions about the future trajectory of the asset as investors await a clear direction. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reverses Losses—Analysts Say $100K Is On The Horizon The Dead Cross: A Signal for a Potential Price Drop? BilalHuseynov, a contributor to CryptoQuant’s QuickTake Platform, has offered valuable insights into Bitcoin’s current market behavior. In his latest post, titled “Will Bitcoin Drop Anymore?”, he sheds light on key on-chain metrics that may help predict the next movement in Bitcoin’s price. His analysis revolves around the behavior of two important metrics: Realized Cap and Thermo Cap, particularly focusing on their recent crossover, which could have significant implications for Bitcoin’s price direction. Huseynov explains that the Realized Cap metric, which tracks Bitcoin’s total value based on its last movement price, gives a more accurate representation of the network’s economic value. On the other hand, Thermo Cap measures the total capital introduced into the BTC network through mining. When Thermo Cap crosses below Realized Cap — known as a “Dead Cross” — it signals that Bitcoin might be heading toward a price decline. Huseynov points out that this situation is unfolding and predicts that BTC’s price could drop to as low as $75,000 if the second Dead Cross materializes. Is The Bitcoin Market Condition Still Healthy? In addition to Huseynov analysis, another CryptoQuant’s analyst Banker has provided insight into the Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) metric, which tracks the movement of long-dormant BTC. Since March 2025, the CDD 60-day moving average has remained low, indicating that long-term holders are not selling their Bitcoin in large quantities. This behavior is often a sign of confidence among seasoned investors, suggesting that they believe in Bitcoin’s long-term potential. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Bull Run Over? Watch This Key Price The absence of major CDD spikes indicates that the market is not experiencing extreme price volatility, which could signal a period of consolidation or eventual upward momentum as selling pressure remains low.

Bitcoin has recently displayed signs of upward momentum, trading at $85,215, marking a 2.2% increase in just the past day. Despite this short-term gain, the asset remains down by over 21.2% from its all-time high of $109,000 reached in January. The ongoing price fluctuations have left Bitcoin in a downward trend on a broader time scale, with investors and analysts closely watching for signs of a rally. Related Reading: Will Bitcoin Downtrend Continue? This Metric Suggests Yes Path To $150k: Short-Term Holders’ Changing Behavior Despite the recent dip, data from CryptoQuant provides interesting insights into Bitcoin’s market dynamics. According to one of CryptoQuant’s contributors, Onchained, the behavior of short-term holders is a key factor to observe in the current market. Onchained’s analysis suggests that short-term holders, defined as those who have held Bitcoin for between one and three months, are no longer panicking and selling at a loss as they did in previous market cycles. The analysis reveals a slowdown in the selling pressure from this group, suggesting a shift in sentiment. Onchained’s report highlights the importance of the Short-Term Holder Net Realized PNL to Exchanges (CEXs) metric. This metric helps determine the selling pressure on Bitcoin, showing who is selling, whether they’re selling at a profit or loss, and the overall intensity of the market’s movement. The data indicates that while short-term holders are selling, the realized losses have been relatively low compared to unrealized losses. This suggests that these holders, despite being in the red, are opting to hold their positions rather than panic sell. Onchained further notes that this reduction in selling pressure could indicate the formation of a market bottom. Historically, when realized losses from short-term holders have been low and selling pressure has diminished, it has marked the end of a downward trend and the beginning of a recovery phase. With 28% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply in the hands of short-term holders, if these coins transition into long-term holders, it could significantly contribute to Bitcoin’s price surge beyond $150,000. Related Reading: Saylor’s Strategy Adds $1.9 Billion Worth Of Bitcoin To Growing Portfolio Decreasing Selling Pressure and What It Means for Bitcoin’s Future Another CryptoQuant analyst, CryptoOnchain, has pointed out that the selling pressure from short-term holders is indeed decreasing, as reflected in both the Short-Term SOPR chart and the UTXO Age Band for holders between one to three months. The data shows a decrease in Bitcoin being moved by this group, suggesting that short-term investors are holding off on making further sales.

After experiencing a bearish trend earlier in the week, Bitcoin (BTC) seems to have regained upward momentum. The asset started the day with a 2.1% rise. It is currently trading above the $84,000 mark, signaling a potential return to its previous price levels. Despite this positive movement, Bitcoin remains subject to fluctuating market conditions, influenced by external factors and internal metrics impacting its performance across different exchanges. Related Reading: Arthur Hayes Predicts $250,000 Bitcoin As Fed Caves To QE Pressure Shifting Trends in Bitcoin’s Exchange Flows As BTC continues to make strides above $84,000, an interesting trend has emerged in exchange flows signaling investor behavior. A recent analysis by CryptoQuant’s Joao Wedson provides a fascinating perspective on the current state of the Bitcoin market. According to Wedson, Bitcoin’s price action has been significantly impacted by lower selling pressure on certain exchanges, particularly Binance. In his report titled “Lower Selling Pressure: Binance and the BTC Flow Across Different Exchanges”, Wedson highlights that Short-Term Holders (STHs) are sending significantly fewer Bitcoin to Binance compared to other exchanges. The current amount of BTC being sent to Binance stands at 6,300 BTC, much lower than the average of 24,700 BTC transferred to other platforms. This suggests that many traders on Binance may be adopting a more neutral stance, potentially waiting for clearer signals before making further moves. On the other hand, Bitcoin inflows to other exchanges are increasing, indicating that investor behavior may vary based on the platform they use. Binance, despite having the highest trading volume, seems to be seeing less activity from short-term holders, whereas other exchanges are experiencing higher inflows. This shift could suggest that while Binance remains a trusted exchange, other platforms are beginning to see more action from BTC traders. Binance Dominates Spot Trading Volume In another analysis by CryptoQuant’s Maartunn, the focus shifted to spot trading volumes across various exchanges, with Binance taking the lead. In the year-to-date data for 2025, Binance has been the dominant player in spot trading volume, handling a cumulative total of $1.9 trillion. This is more than three times the volume of its closest competitor, Crypto.com, which stands at 12.12%. The dominance of Binance is significant, as higher trading volumes typically result in greater liquidity and tighter spreads, benefiting traders with better pricing and smoother entry and exit opportunities.

As Bitcoin (BTC) attempts to reclaim the $84,000 barrier again, the flagship crypto risks closing the Month in red numbers. Some analysts suggest that BTC’s Q2 performance could mimic its 2017 rally. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Confirms Breakout From Ascending Triangle, Target Set At $7,800 Bitcoin Retests $84,000 A week ago, Bitcoin saw a star-of-week pump to retest the $88,000-$89,000 resistance zone. The flagship cryptocurrency surged to a two-week high of $88,765, hovering between the $85,000 to $88,000 price range for most of the week. However, as the weekend approached, BTC lost its range, falling to $84,000 on Friday and continuing to dip over the next two days. Bitcoin saw an 8.2% weekly drop during the early Monday hours, hitting $81,278 before recovering. After hitting its lowest price in two weeks, the largest crypto by market capitalization bounced from the range lows, nearing the key $84,000 barrier again. This zone has been a crucial resistance level since Bitcoin lost its post-November breakout range a month ago. Since then, BTC has failed to maintain this level for significant periods. Amid the market correction, trader Daan Crypto Trades noted that Bitcoin has created another CME Gap, becoming the fifth consecutive week that a gap has been created due to price movement during the weekend, with all the previous ones being closed “relatively quickly.” This week’s CME gap, between $82,500 and $84,100, was almost filled after this morning’s rally. However, analyst Rekt Capital pointed out, “BTC will need to rally more than that to try to seriously challenge for a reclaim of the recently lost Higher Low,” at around $85,000. BTC To Consolidate For Longer? Ted Pillows suggested BTC’s performance could see a Q2 recovery based on its 2017 price action. The analyst highlighted that during US president Donald Trump’s first term, Bitcoin’s “real rally” didn’t start until 2017’s second quarter. Per the post, “BTC’s real gains during Trump’s first presidency started after Q1 2027. For the first two months, BTC just consolidated in a range similar to now.” Then, it started to gain momentum in April, pumping from $1,400 to $20,000 until December 2017. Ted considers that if Bitcoin continues to follow its 2017 path, it could see a massive rally toward a new all-time high (ATH) later this year. It’s worth noting that Q2 has historically been mostly favorable for BTC, CoinGlass data shows. Meanwhile, Rekt Capital also suggested that Bitcoin will likely continue consolidating a little bit longer after the recent price correction. The analyst pointed out that BTC failed to confirm its breakout from its triangular market structure. He previously explained that, over the past six weeks, BTC has been consolidating between the two biggest bull market Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), the 21-week and 50-week EMAs, in a “very similar fashion to mid-2021.” Related Reading: XRP & These Altcoins Share The Same TA Fate—What’s Coming? The analyst added that in mid-2021, “Bitcoin didn’t break from this similar triangular market structure right away either, upside-wicking towards and into the 21-week EMA but ultimately rejecting from there to experience additional consolidation between the two EMAs.” This could suggest that the flagship crypto “is sentenced to a bit more consolidation between the two EMAs” before attempting to “kickstart an uptrend continuation towards the Re-Accumulation Range Low of $93,500.” As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $83,297, a 1% increase in the daily timeframe.

After showing signs of recovery last week, Bitcoin appears to have lost its upward momentum once again. The cryptocurrency was closing in on the $90,000 psychological level but has since reversed direction, falling by 6.4% over the past week to hover around $82,000 at the time of writing. This decline has placed renewed attention on market metrics that suggest the rally may have been short-lived. Amid this downward movement, several on-chain analysts have raised questions about whether recent price trends reflect real demand or speculative behavior. Particularly, insights from CryptoQuant contributors point to warning signs, including a divergence between market capitalization and actual network activity. Related Reading: Bitcoin Weekly Preview: Tariffs, Whales, And Volatility Ahead NVT Indicator Signals Caution Amid Low Transaction Volume In a recent post titled “Manipulative Moves or True Value? A Bitcoin and NVT Analysis,” CryptoQuant analyst BorisVest pointed to the Network Value to Transactions (NVT) ratio as a critical metric for understanding current market dynamics. The NVT ratio is calculated by dividing Bitcoin’s market capitalization by its daily transaction volume. According to BorisVest, Bitcoin’s elevated NVT Golden Cross reading indicates a high market cap against low transaction activity — a combination that historically suggests price inflation driven by speculative interest rather than organic growth. BorisVest emphasized that periods with a high NVT often precede market corrections. In contrast, when the NVT falls into the green zone — signaling a low market cap with rising transaction volume — it may present a stronger foundation for price appreciation. As of now, the metric suggests Bitcoin’s recent price rise lacks transactional support, and continued pullbacks remain possible unless volume returns to the network. Bitcoin Speculators Absent, Sentiment Remains Cautious Adding to the cautious outlook, another CryptoQuant contributor known as crypto sunmoon highlighted the role of leverage in driving crypto bull markets. The analyst pointed out that funding rates have recently “dead-crossed,” which occurs when short-term funding rates fall below long-term rates, often indicating bearish sentiment among traders. According to sunmoon, this shift suggests that speculators are currently unwilling to take on risk — a key component needed to fuel bullish price movements. The analyst concluded that the return of speculative trading behavior, typically marked by rising funding rates and leveraged positions, is essential for reigniting upward momentum in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin has dropped below the $85,000 level as selling pressure returns across the crypto market. After several days of tight consolidation just under the $88K resistance zone, bearish momentum has regained control, dragging prices lower and signaling the end of a short-lived period of stability. The broader financial landscape remains tense, with trade war fears and mounting uncertainty continuing to weigh heavily on risk assets — and Bitcoin is no exception. Related Reading: XRP Must Break Above $3 To Invalidate Bearish Pattern And Flip Bullish – Analyst Global markets are facing increasing volatility, driven by geopolitical tensions and fragile investor sentiment. As traditional markets falter, the crypto space has followed suit, showing signs of weakness amid macro headwinds. Many traders are now watching for signs of deeper corrections across the board. Despite the pullback, there may be a silver lining. According to fresh data from CryptoQuant, OTC (Over-the-Counter) desks are draining at a fast pace. This trend often indicates increased institutional accumulation — as OTC transactions are typically used by larger players to avoid slippage on exchanges. While short-term price action remains bearish, the reduction in OTC supply could be an early signal of long-term confidence building under the surface. For now, Bitcoin must find stability before bulls can attempt a meaningful rebound. Bitcoin Holds $84K As Analysts Debate Market Direction Bitcoin is at a critical point, with bulls struggling to reclaim the $90,000 level but managing to hold firm above the $84,000 support zone. This tight range reflects growing uncertainty in the market, as price action stalls and sentiment becomes increasingly divided. Some analysts argue that the bull market has run its course, pointing to fading momentum and macroeconomic pressure as signs that a deeper correction is underway. Others believe that this is simply a healthy pause in a longer-term uptrend, with new all-time highs still ahead. Top analyst Quinten Francois has weighed in, pointing to a key on-chain metric that may support the bullish case. According to Francois, the total balance held by OTC desks has been steadily draining since January 2022 — a trend that has continued into 2025. A declining OTC desk balance typically signals increasing demand from large-scale buyers, such as institutions or high-net-worth investors. These desks are used to facilitate large trades off-exchange to avoid slippage, so when their balances trend down, it often means big players are buying directly and moving assets into cold storage or long-term holdings. This can reduce circulating supply and act as a quiet form of accumulation during periods of uncertainty. While short-term price action remains uncertain, the continued OTC desk outflows suggest that large investors are positioning for long-term gains. For now, all eyes remain on the $84K–$90K range. A breakdown below support could trigger deeper losses, but a breakout above resistance may reignite bullish momentum — especially if institutional interest continues to grow behind the scenes. Related Reading: Ethereum Fails To Break $2,100 Resistance – Growing Downside Risk? BTC Struggles To Reclaim Higher Supply Levels Bitcoin is trading at $84,100 after losing the 200-day moving average (MA) and exponential moving average (EMA), both of which were positioned around $85,500. This breakdown has weakened the bullish structure and placed BTC in a vulnerable position, with momentum now clearly favoring the bears. For bulls to regain control, they must hold above the $82,500 support level in the coming sessions. Maintaining this level would signal stability and could pave the way for a rebound toward the key resistance zone between $89,000 and $91,000. Reclaiming that area would be a significant step toward restoring bullish sentiment and potentially reigniting the broader uptrend. However, if BTC fails to hold above the $82,000 mark, the market could see intensified selling pressure and a sharp drop below $80,000. A break of that psychological level would likely confirm a deeper correction and shift sentiment further in favor of the bears.

Bitcoin continues to show signs of price consolidation, with its value hovering just below the $87,000 mark. As of today, BTC is trading at approximately $86,990, reflecting a 0.8% decline over the past 24 hours. Despite the slight dip, the broader picture shows that Bitcoin has stabilized above $85,000 for several consecutive sessions, signaling a pause in the strong upward or downward momentum observed in previous weeks. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds Steady Above $86K as On-Chain Data Points to ‘Bullish Shift’ Long Liquidation Indication For The Market While volatility appears subdued, market dynamics remain active behind the scenes. CryptoQuant contributor Amr Taha recently provided insights into Bitcoin’s latest market structure, highlighting a key development: the liquidation of $359.7 million worth of long positions. This event has drawn attention to potential shifts in sentiment and important technical levels that may act as support or resistance in the short term. According to Taha, a long liquidation occurs when traders holding leveraged long positions are forced to close their trades after the price drops below their margin thresholds. When this happens at scale, as seen recently, it reflects a sudden change in sentiment and often forces short-term sell-offs. However, Taha points out that such events can also set the stage for a potential market rebound, as many overleveraged positions are cleared, giving space for new demand to emerge. Liquidation event of $359.7M in long positions “If BTC holds above the short-term realized price, it suggests strength in demand. A breakdown below these levels might indicate a potential reversal or correction.” – By Amr Taha Full post ⤵️https://t.co/SW9e16kofW pic.twitter.com/0YR9rfreGa — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) March 27, 2025 Bitcoin UTXO Metrics Paint a Mixed Picture Complementing this observation is Bitcoin’s realized price distribution by UTXO age bands. Taha notes that Bitcoin’s current market price remains above the realized price for UTXOs aged 1 day to 1 week, indicating that recent buyers are holding unrealized profits. Meanwhile, UTXOs in the 1-week to 1-month range have their realized price near $84,740—a level that could act as technical support if Bitcoin dips in the near term. This confluence of short-term holder profitability and support near $84K may serve as an important signal. If Bitcoin maintains its position above these realized price zones, it suggests continued strength from recent buyers. However, if the price begins to fall below these thresholds, it could point to increased selling pressure or a broader correction phase. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Make Big Moves As Bullish Momentum Resurfaces While the liquidation of long positions and UTXO age metrics offer some insight into market sentiment, Taha’s conclusion of a possibility for the price to either fall or continue rising gives more reason to remain cautious.

Bitcoin has shown signs of stabilization above the $86,000 mark after reclaiming the level earlier this week. This recovery marks a shift in short-term sentiment after several weeks of price turbulence. While the asset remains down approximately 20.2% from its all-time high set in January, the current rebound suggests a pause in downward pressure and a potential reassessment among market participants. Despite the recent uptick, traders and analysts remain cautious. Market behavior has been mixed, with on-chain metrics and trading activity offering differing signals. CryptoQuant contributor Nino recently provided a breakdown of the Coinbase Premium Index and its implications for Bitcoin’s short-term direction, pointing to changing sentiment in the US market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Pushes Past $88K Amid Rising Volatility and On-Chain Resistance Zones Coinbase Premium Turns Positive Amid Stabilizing Price In a recent QuickTake post titled “Is the Coinbase Premium Signaling a Bullish Shift for Bitcoin?”, Nino observed that the index—which measures the price gap between Bitcoin on Coinbase and other exchanges—had hovered near zero for weeks. However, it now appears to be entering positive territory. This trend, if sustained, may reflect a growing appetite from US-based traders and institutions. Historically, a positive Coinbase Premium has coincided with increased spot demand and broader upward price momentum. Nino added that while this shift can be a bullish signal, it should be evaluated alongside other market indicators such as trading volume and on-chain metrics. These combined factors help clarify whether the move represents real buying conviction or short-term speculation. In parallel, renowned market analyst Ali noted that following Bitcoin’s surge above $70,000 in late 2024, stablecoin reserves grew from $26 billion to $46 billion—often an indication of profit-taking by investors. Now that reserves have plateaued, the market may be entering a period of reduced selling pressure, as participants appear to be waiting for new catalysts before re-entering.

Specifically, 48 new Bitcoin wallets have surpassed the 100 BTC threshold, indicating growing holdings among large-scale investors. This increase in whale addresses is generally interpreted as a sign of confidence in long-term price appreciation. When whales accumulate during consolidation phases, it can reflect expectations for upward movement once market uncertainty subsides.

Bitcoin (BTC) climbed nearly 5% in the past week, reclaiming key support levels over the past three days. The recent bullish momentum has sent BTC toward the $88,000 mark, with some analysts suggesting a reclaim of its previous price range could be near. Related Reading: Ethereum To End March In Green? ETH ‘Only’ 6% Away From Positive Monthly Close Bitcoin Recovery Could Trigger 14% Surge After being rejected from the $84,000-$85,000 zone several times in the past two weeks, Bitcoin reclaimed this range over the weekend. The flagship crypto has surged 4.7% from last week’s levels, closing the week above the $86,000 mark. During the start-of-week pump, BTC eyed the $89,000 resistance, hitting a biweekly high of $88,765, but failed to retest the next crucial zone as bullish momentum slowed. Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency has held its current range, hovering between the $86-000-$88,000 support zone for the past 24 hours. Analyst Alex Clary affirmed that Bitcoin’s momentum “looks awesome” for a break above the $88,000-$90,000 support zone as the cryptocurrency shows a Relative Strength Index (RSI) bullish divergence, a V-shaped recovery, and has broken above its downtrend resistance. Per the post, a breakout and reclaim of the crucial $90,000 resistance level could propel BTC to jump between 8 to 14% from current prices to the $95,000-$100,000 levels lost in February. Meanwhile, Daan Crypto Trades noted that Bitcoin “has not moved much in the past few weeks relative to SPX.” According to the trader, BTC’s price has been correlated to the S&P 500 (SPX) and “has mostly been moving hand in hand with each other,” which could explain the flagship crypto’s recent dump and bounce. However, he affirmed that Bitcoin is still trading “at a solid spot premium during this bounce,” suggesting that a move to new local highs is possible if BTC maintains the current levels and reclaims the post-US election breakout range above $90,000. BTC Must Hold This Level By Week’s End Amid Monday’s market recovery, Analyst Rekt Capital warned that Bitcoin needs weekly closes above $88,400 and $93,500 to end its downside deviation period. The analyst explained that, over the past five weeks, BTC has been consolidating between the two biggest bull market Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), the 21-week and 50-week EMAs. Its price action has recently gotten closer to the 21-week EMA, at around $88,400, ready “for a major trend decision.” According to the analyst, Bitcoin needs a weekly close above this level and a retest into support to target its Macro Range. “This was the exact confirmation that Bitcoin needed back in mid-2021 when the price crashed -55%,” Rekt Capital noted, suggesting that “things could get volatile both on the upside (trapping FOMO buyers in the upside wick) and the downside (with panic sellers selling into a downside wick),” if history repeats. A weekly close above it “could kickstart an uptrend continuation towards the Re-Accumulation Range Low of $93,500.” Moreover, after reclaiming the 21-week EMA, Bitcoin will need a weekly close above the re-accumulation range low to “resynchronize with the Range.” Related Reading: Crypto Expert Arthur Hayes Reveals Why Bitcoin Price Will Touch $110,000 Before $76,500 Despite this, he warned that “the Post-Halving Re-Accumulation Range has shown that simple Weekly Closes above $93,500 may not suffice” as it would need “a successful post-breakout retest of the Re-Accumulation Range Low” to confirm resynchronization with the range. He concluded that failing to successfully retest and confirm the new support could cause BTC’s price to lose this crucial level and deviate to the downside again.

Bitcoin continues to trade within a tight range, consolidating below the $85,000 mark and holding above the $81,000 support zone. Bulls are making efforts to reclaim higher levels and spark a recovery rally, but persistent macroeconomic uncertainty and growing concerns over global trade tensions continue to weigh on market sentiment. Related Reading: Whales Accumulate Over 120 Million Dogecoin In Past Week – Analyst The lack of momentum in either direction has left Bitcoin range-bound for the past several sessions. However, optimism remains among futures traders. According to recent data, 60.52% of traders with open Bitcoin positions on Binance Futures are currently holding long positions, suggesting a majority still believe in an upside breakout. This bullish leaning among leveraged traders highlights growing expectations that Bitcoin could recover once broader market sentiment improves. Still, the consolidation pattern remains in place until BTC can break decisively above the $85K level and target $88K or higher. If bulls fail to reclaim resistance soon, the risk of a breakdown below $81K increases, potentially triggering a deeper correction. As uncertainty dominates headlines, Bitcoin remains at a crossroads, and traders continue to watch closely for a catalyst to drive the next major move. Bitcoin Investors Split On Market Direction As Long Positions Dominate Futures After months of volatility and a sharp correction from Bitcoin’s January all-time high, some market participants are preparing for a prolonged bear market. Sentiment among this group is driven by persistent macroeconomic uncertainty, erratic global policy shifts, and rising concerns of recession, all of which have shaken confidence across both crypto and traditional markets. However, a more optimistic view persists among analysts who argue that the current price action is simply a healthy correction within a larger bull cycle. They believe that Bitcoin is undergoing a standard consolidation phase following its parabolic move in late 2024. The structural fundamentals supporting Bitcoin—including growing institutional interest and broader adoption—remain intact. Supporting this view, top analyst Ali Martinez shared a key metric on X: the Bitcoin Long/Short Ratio on Binance Futures. Martinez revealed that 60.52% of traders with open BTC positions are currently leaning long, signaling a bullish sentiment among futures traders. This bullish skew in leveraged positions suggests that a potential breakout may be on the horizon. If bulls can reclaim resistance levels near $88K and push above the $90K mark, it could confirm the start of a recovery rally and help restore confidence. Related Reading: Cardano Indicator Flashes Buy Signal On 4-Hour Chart – Rebound Ahead? Until then, indecision continues to dominate the market, and Bitcoin remains trapped in a tight range where both scenarios—a deeper correction or a bullish breakout—remain on the table. BTC Price Range Narrows As Key Resistance Holds Strong Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $84,200 after several days of tight consolidation between the $87,000 resistance and the $81,000 support level. Despite recent attempts to push higher, bulls have struggled to break through key resistance, leaving the price range bound and vulnerable to sudden volatility. Currently, BTC sits approximately 4% below the 4-hour 200-day Moving Average (MA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA). These indicators, now acting as dynamic resistance around $87,300, are widely watched by traders as crucial short-term trend signals. Reclaiming this zone as support could be the catalyst for a recovery rally toward the $90,000 mark, helping shift sentiment back in favor of the bulls. Related Reading: Investors Withdraw 360,000 Ethereum From Exchanges In Just 48 Hours – Accumulation Trend? However, the failure to break above this technical ceiling raises concerns. If price action remains weak and fails to retake the 200 MA and EMA in the coming sessions, the likelihood of a drop below the $81,000 support increases. Such a move would not only trigger fresh selling pressure but could also send BTC into deeper correction territory. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView 

Bitcoin continues to trade just below the $84,000 mark, reflecting a broader slowdown in upward momentum. Despite attempts to reclaim higher levels, the cryptocurrency has remained under the $90,000 mark for over two weeks. This current range-bound activity comes nearly two months after Bitcoin touched its all-time high in January, indicating a period of uncertainty as traders assess macroeconomic conditions and upcoming Federal Reserve policy decisions. In the midst of the stagnation from BTC’s price, on-chain data is offering contrasting signals on where the market might be headed next. Analysts have pointed to fluctuations in buying and selling pressure on major exchanges, particularly Binance, as key indicators of short-term market sentiment. Related Reading: Bitcoin ‘Probably’ Hit Its Bottom At $77,000, Arthur Hayes Says Surge in Binance Net Taker Volume CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost recently highlighted a notable spike in net taker volume on Binance, the world’s largest centralized crypto exchange. According to Darkfost, net taker volume surged by $467 million in a single hour—marking the highest level recorded in 2025 so far. This metric, which measures the difference between aggressive market buys and sells, is often used to gauge the immediate sentiment of active traders. A positive value indicates stronger buying activity and has historically signaled short-term bullishness. Darkfost emphasized that this uptick in taker volume occurred just prior to the recent FOMC meeting, suggesting that some traders may be positioning for favorable policy outcomes. While the data only reflects an hourly time frame and may not imply long-term directional change, the movement could signal a broader shift in sentiment among active participants, especially given Binance’s influential position in global crypto markets. ????

According to his analysis, the Bitcoin Exchange Whale Ratio—defined as the share of total exchange inflows coming from the top 10 largest addresses—has surged to its highest point in over a year. This ratio is closely monitored because spikes often precede increased selling pressure, especially when large holders move funds to exchanges. While not a definitive indicator of immediate liquidation, the rise in whale-driven deposits suggests that some major players may be preparing for reallocation or profit-taking.

Bitcoin continues to experience short-term volatility, struggling to maintain momentum above key resistance levels. After recently attempting to break back above the psychological $90,000 level, the asset has pulled back again. As of the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $83,239, down 2.2% over the past 24 hours and nearly 23% below its all-time high above $109,000 reached in January. Despite this, some analysts suggest underlying indicators may point toward a potential market rebound if specific conditions align. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Are Back—Could This Be the Catalyst for the Next Rally? Stablecoin Trends Offer Insight into Bitcoin Market Liquidity Crypto Dan, a contributor to the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform shared an analysis titled “Comparison of the March 2024 Correction and the Current Market,” focusing on the relationship between stablecoin supply and Bitcoin’s price behavior. According to Dan, the flow of stablecoins into the market can serve as a proxy for measuring potential buying power, with higher stablecoin reserves typically associated with increased purchasing capacity among market participants. Dan noted that during the March–October 2024 correction phase, the supply of stablecoins remained relatively low or declined, contributing to a more prolonged bearish trend. In contrast, the current correction has been accompanied by a gradual increase in stablecoin supply, which may indicate that market participants are preparing to re-enter positions as they await favorable conditions. Dan wrote: The current market is in a state where it is ready to rise quickly whenever strong catalysts emerge. Patience remains essential in the investment market. While it is premature to declare the end of the bullish cycle, the market continues to present conditions worth monitoring closely. Notably, this upward trend in stablecoin reserves suggests that investors are not fully exiting the market but are instead adopting a wait-and-see approach, holding liquidity in stablecoins while watching for confirmation of a trend reversal. This behavior often precedes renewed buying activity when confidence begins to return. Sentiment Signals Shift on Binance as Ratio Turns Positive Another CryptoQuant analyst, Burak Kesmeci, analyzed the Taker Buy Sell Ratio on Binance—an exchange widely viewed as a leading barometer of retail and institutional sentiment due to its high trading volume. The Taker Buy Sell Ratio measures the aggressiveness of buyers versus sellers, with values above 1.00 indicating that buyers are initiating more trades than sellers. Kesmeci observed that this ratio has been steadily forming higher lows over the past ten days and recently transitioned from the negative to the positive zone. Related Reading: This Bear Market Indicator Says Bitcoin Price Is Headed For Crash To $40,000, Here’s When This shift could suggest that sentiment among active traders is improving, potentially setting the stage for upward price movement if this trend continues.

The flagship crypto has been unable to reclaim the $85,000-$86,000 zone throughout the last 10 days, struggling to hold the $84,000 support during this period. Nonetheless, BTC climbed over the last 24 hours ahead of Today’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. As some market watchers pointed out, the expectations of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s statement could “make or break” the recent reclaim of key support levels. Analyst CRG explained, “The rate change (or lack thereof) at FOMC is usually not important (unless surprise change) – as it’s baked in. It’s the forward guidance, tonality, etc., that’s important. New info surrounding the end of QT/dot plot revisions important to watch today.” The Federal Reserve announced its interest rate decision, setting the upper bound at 4.50%. As Wu Blockchain reported, the decision was in line with the expected rate and unchanged from the previous one. Meanwhile, “The dot plot indicates an expected 50 basis point rate cut in 2025. Additionally, starting in April, the Fed will slow the pace of balance sheet reduction, lowering the monthly Treasury redemption cap from $25 billion to $5 billion while maintaining the cap for agency debt and MBS at $35 billion.” Daan Crypto Trades noted that BTC’s price could “get quite interesting” with the FOMC volatility. The news could send the flagship crypto to reclaim the key $85,000 barrier or retrace to the range lows. According to the trader, Bitcoin’s liquidation heatmap showed a “few big clusters on both sides” of the weekly range. As a result, the $80,000-$81,000 and $85,000-$86,000 price ranges are two key zones to watch amid the ongoing volatility. BTC Must Hold This Key Zone The Federal Reserve’s report propelled Bitcoin’s price to a 10-day high of $85,880, registering a 3.8% surge in the daily timeframe. Daan warned investors that the current $84,000-$85,000 range is a key level to overcome, as BTC has been “unable to break back above the Daily 200MA/EMA cluster.” Reclaiming this zone could send Bitcoin back to the $90,000 resistance and reclaim its post-election breakout price range. On the contrary, a rejection could see BTC hit new lows, risking a fall to the $73,500 mark. Analyst Rekt Capital noted a decline in seller volume over the last few days, which has allowed buyers “to step in.” According to the analyst, “Buyers need to showcase above-average volume for there to be more conviction in this move.” Related Reading: BNB Ready To Breakout? New ATH Coming ‘In No Time’ If This Resistance Breaks Additionally, he highlighted that Bitcoin’s Daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) has turned into a resistance level as it has been in a downtrend since November 2024. To him, this level is worth watching in the future since “an RSI Downtrend break would likely precede a trend reversal to the upside in price.” As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $85,132, a 4.9% increase in the past week.

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to trade below the $85K level, fueling fears of further downside as the bearish trend remains intact. Bulls are losing momentum, failing to reclaim key resistance levels and hold lower demand zones, raising concerns about a potential continuation of the correction. Related Reading: 130,000 Ethereum Moved Off Exchanges – Bullish Signal? Macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility remain key drivers of price action, with erratic policy decisions from U.S. President Donald Trump adding to the turbulence in both crypto and traditional markets. The global trade war narrative and tightening monetary conditions continue to weigh heavily on risk assets, contributing to Bitcoin’s inability to sustain a meaningful recovery. However, there is a shift in market behavior that could indicate a turning point. Key metrics from Glassnode reveal that after three months of distribution, Accumulation Trend Scores hint at early signs of BTC accumulation. Historically, a transition from distribution to accumulation has often preceded a recovery phase, suggesting that investors might be stepping back in at these lower levels. The next few weeks will be crucial, as Bitcoin’s ability to hold support and attract fresh demand will determine whether the market is preparing for a rebound or a deeper correction. Bitcoin In Correction Mode – Accumulation Trends Hint At A Possible Shift Bitcoin has officially entered correction territory after losing the $100K mark, and the bearish trend was fully confirmed when BTC failed to hold above $90K. Since reaching its all-time high (ATH) of $109K in January, Bitcoin has dropped over 29%, and it appears this trend could continue as global macroeconomic conditions remain unfavorable. Related Reading: Solana Holds Bullish Pattern – Expert Sets $140 Target Trade war tensions between the United States and key global economies like Europe, China, and Canada continue to pressure financial markets, leading to uncertainty and risk-off sentiment. As these geopolitical issues intensify, both crypto and traditional markets remain highly volatile, struggling to find stability. However, not all indicators are bearish. Ali Martinez shared insights on X, revealing that the tide is turning for Bitcoin. After three months of distribution, the Accumulation Trend Scores model is hinting at early signs of BTC accumulation. Historically, these phases signal that large investors are re-entering the market, positioning themselves ahead of a potential recovery. This accumulation phase is a critical turning point that will determine whether Bitcoin sees a fast recovery above key supply levels or a long consolidation period before the next major move. The next few weeks will be decisive for BTC’s short-term outlook. $80K Retest on the Horizon? Bitcoin is currently trading at $83,000, caught in a tight consolidation as it struggles to break above $85K while maintaining support at $82K. This range-bound price action has left investors uncertain, with bulls attempting to reclaim higher levels and bears pressing for further downside. If bulls want to regain control, BTC must push above $89K, a key resistance level aligned with the 4-hour 200 moving average (MA). A successful breakout above $90K could confirm a recovery trend and open the door for further gains toward $95K and beyond.

However, if Bitcoin fails to break above $90K in the coming sessions, the risk of a deeper correction increases.

With market sentiment still fragile, the next major move will likely determine the short-term trajectory of Bitcoin’s price action. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin’s price appears to be still struggling below key levels. So far, the asset still trades below $82,000 marking a slight uptick of 0.3% in the past day and a roughly 24.3% decrease away from its all-time high (ATH) above $109,000 registered in January. Amid this price performance, key price levels, particularly those that impact short-term holders (STHs)—investors who have held Bitcoin for less than six months have emerged. Related Reading: Bitcoin Investors Shift To Strong Distribution As Demand Fades, Glassnode Reveals Short-Term Holder Realized Price: A Key Market Indicator CryptoQuant analyst Yonsei Dent has identified a critical resistance zone between $86K and $90K, where many STHs remain in a loss position. The ability of Bitcoin to break through these levels will determine whether it can regain momentum or continue its downward trend. Yonsei Dent emphasizes the importance of Realized Price, which represents the average acquisition cost of Bitcoin holders. This metric helps identify support and resistance zones by showing at what price level investors are likely to break even or sell at a loss. Currently, Bitcoin is struggling to reclaim the $83,000 resistance, as the weighted average Realized Price for 1W–6M STHs stands at $91.800. This means that many recent buyers are still holding at a loss, creating selling pressure as they attempt to exit at break-even levels. Additionally, the 3–6M STH Realized Price sits at $86.100, making it a major resistance zone. Since this group holds the largest share of Realized Cap among short-term holders, their trading activity could significantly impact Bitcoin’s price movements. What This Means for Bitcoin’s Price Action As Bitcoin trades in the $86,000 to $90,000 range, short-term holders selling at break-even could lead to increased market volatility. If Bitcoin is unable to break past this resistance, it could face renewed downward pressure. On the downside, Bitcoin’s 6–12M Long-Term Holder (LTH) Realized Price sits at $63.700, with $64,000 being a strong historical support level. Yonsei Dent notes that if buying demand is strong enough to absorb selling pressure, Bitcoin may break out of this range and establish a more bullish trend.

However, if selling from short-term holders intensifies, Bitcoin could retest lower support levels before making any significant recovery. The analyst noted: As Bitcoin navigates the $86K → $90K range, STHs looking to exit at break-even may increase market turbulence. The key question is whether buying demand will be strong enough to absorb this pressure. Let’s see how the market responds. Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView

Bitcoin’s price has been experiencing a gradual recovery on a micro level, showing a 1% increase over the past 24 hours, bringing it back above $83,000. However, when viewed from a broader perspective, Bitcoin remains in a bearish trend, down 9.3% in the past week and 24.7% from its all-time high (ATH) in January. This extended downtrend has raised concerns about whether the market is undergoing a deeper correction or if a potential reversal is on the horizon. Related Reading: Bitcoin Shows Signs of Recovery—Is the Whale Sell-Off Finally Over? Possibility Of A Deeper Correction in Bitcoin Analysts seem to have been closely monitoring Bitcoin’s market-value-to-realized-value (MVRV) ratio, which serves as a key indicator of whether Bitcoin is overvalued or undervalued based on historical price trends. CryptoQuant analyst Crypto Dan recently provided insights into Bitcoin’s current market position, noting that the proportion of BTC holdings under one month surged in both March and December 2024, reaching 23% and 24.5%, respectively. This trend mirrors past movements that preceded price corrections. With Bitcoin’s MVRV ratio now at 1.8, close to the 2024 correction low of 1.71, historical patterns suggest that a deeper decline to the $70,000 range could push the metric to similar levels seen in previous market bottoms. Market in an Oversold Zone After a Strong Correction “Even without an additional sharp decline, the market has already been sufficiently lightened, making it a favorable zone for a potential upward move without the need for further significant drops.” – By @DanCoinInvestor pic.twitter.com/mjLOQWlj4U — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) March 13, 2025 Key Indicators Suggest a Potential Rebound Despite the bearish sentiment, Crypto Dan emphasized that market conditions may already be near a turning point. He noted that altcoins have surrendered most of their recent gains, leaving many investors without profits in this cycle. This indicates that the market has already undergone significant deleveraging, reducing the likelihood of further sharp declines. If no major sell-offs occur, Bitcoin could enter a favorable zone for an upward move, even without a drastic drop to the $70,000 range. Dan also pointed out that the market is now in the final phase of its upward cycle, undergoing a strong correction that increases both risk and investment difficulty. However, as the market approaches an oversold state, the probability of a rebound also increases. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Mining Difficulty Rises Despite Market Drop—What Does It Mean? Dan highlighted that several key factors will determine whether this rebound materializes, including the strength and magnitude of the price recovery, whale activity, and changes in on-chain metrics during the rebound as well as Bitcoin’s correlation with the stock market and broader economic trends. While the short-term outlook remains uncertain, Dan noted: Despite the current stagnation, most cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, are in an oversold state, suggesting that a rebound is not far off. However, it is still too early to definitively conclude that the market has entered a full-fledged bear cycle. Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView

Bitcoin has continued its downward trajectory when observed over weekly and monthly timeframes, recording an 8.4% decline in the past week and a 16.2% drop over the past month. However, in the shorter time frame, signs of potential reversal are emerging. Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has seen a slight recovery, with its price rising to $81,647. This shift has led analysts to closely examine whale activity and exchange trends to determine whether the correction phase may be nearing an end. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s SOPR Nears Critical Level—Is a Deeper Correction Ahead? Binance’s Whale Activity and Its Impact on Bitcoin’s Trend One of CryptoQuant’s analysts, Darkfost, has identified a key trend in Binance’s whale activity that could impact Bitcoin’s price movements. Binance, as the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, plays a significant role in market liquidity, making its whale activity an important metric to monitor. Darkfost’s analysis of the Bitcoin Exchange Whale Ratio on Binance suggests that whales are reducing their selling pressure, which could signal a shift in market sentiment. The exchange whale ratio measures the proportion of the top 10 inflows to total inflows on an exchange. When this ratio is elevated, it indicates increased whale selling activity, often contributing to short-term price corrections or market consolidation phases. Conversely, a declining whale ratio suggests less selling pressure, which could help stabilize Bitcoin’s price or even contribute to a rebound. According to Darkfost, the declining whale ratio on Binance may indicate that the selling pressure from large Bitcoin holders is easing. Historically, a decrease in whale selling activity has preceded bullish market movements, making this metric a key indicator for traders. If this trend persists, Bitcoin could see reduced downward momentum, potentially setting the stage for price stabilization or recovery. Binance’s Dominance in Spot and Futures Trading In a separate analysis, CryptoQuant analyst Crazzyblockk has highlighted Binance’s continued dominance in both spot and futures markets. Binance holds the largest market share in crypto trading, reinforcing its position as a key player in price discovery and liquidity. Currently, Binance accounts for a 45.5% share of the USDT futures market, significantly ahead of other trading platforms. Crazzyblockk wrote: This highlights Binance as the preferred choice for derivatives trading, offering the best liquidity and execution. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Bottom Around $70,000?

Bitcoin is trading below crucial support levels after massive selling pressure swept through the market. Since late January, BTC has lost over 29% of its value, fueling fear and uncertainty among investors. With global trade war fears intensifying and volatile macroeconomic conditions shaking the crypto and U.S. stock markets, traders are bracing for further downside risk. Related Reading: Bitcoin Drops Below 200-Day MA – Next Key Support Lies At $66K According To Mayer Multiple Market sentiment remains overwhelmingly bearish as Bitcoin fails to hold key technical levels. Crypto analyst Daan shared a technical analysis on X, revealing that BTC has broken below the Daily 200-Moving Average (MA) and has now retested it as resistance. Historically, this pattern signals a continuation of bearish price action, indicating that BTC could see more downside in the coming weeks. With Bitcoin struggling to regain momentum, the market’s next major move will depend on whether bulls can reclaim lost ground or if further selling pressure will drive BTC toward lower support levels. As uncertainty grows, investors remain cautious, waiting for clear signals before making significant moves. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether Bitcoin can stabilize or if the current downtrend will continue. Bitcoin Downtrend Deepens as Bears Maintain Control Bitcoin has remained in a persistent downtrend since late January, with fear continuing to set lower price targets among investors. Many now question whether the BTC bull cycle is over, as selling pressure intensifies and market sentiment turns increasingly bearish. The uncertainty surrounding macroeconomic conditions has fueled this decline, with volatility increasing since the U.S. elections in November 2024. Given the ongoing trade war fears and unstable global markets, it appears that this period of uncertainty will continue to weigh on Bitcoin’s price action. Crypto analyst Daan recently shared technical insights on X, highlighting that BTC has lost the 200-day moving average (MA) and has now retested it as resistance. This signals that bears remain in control, and bulls have a lot of work to do to reclaim this level. According to Daan, Bitcoin experienced a similar scenario last year, where price action chopped around these levels for over three months before breaking out. If history repeats itself, BTC could be entering another extended consolidation phase, keeping prices range-bound for months. Related Reading: XRP Flirts With A Daily Range Breakdown – Price Must Hold Above $2 Level However, if bulls fail to reclaim the 200-day MA/EMA, further downside could follow, bringing Bitcoin to even lower price levels. With bears still in control, the market remains highly fragile, and investors are watching closely to see whether BTC can stabilize or if another major drop is on the horizon. The next few weeks will be critical as Bitcoin either finds a foothold or continues deeper into bearish territory. Bitcoin Stuck Between $80K and $85K as Fear Continues Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading between $80,000 and $85,000, struggling to reclaim key price levels amid growing panic selling and fear. With selling pressure dominating the market, investors remain uncertain about Bitcoin’s next move as bulls fail to push BTC into a recovery phase. For a bullish reversal, BTC must hold above $80,000 and reclaim the $86,000 level, which would signal renewed buying interest and possibly set the stage for a stronger uptrend. However, Bitcoin may enter a sideways consolidation phase below $90,000–$88,000, prolonging the uncertainty and keeping price action choppy for weeks.

Traders remain cautious, closely watching whether Bitcoin can stabilize or if another major decline is ahead. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin’s price has continued its gradual decline, now trading just above $81,000, marking a significant drop from its all-time high (ATH) in January. At the time of writing, BTC stands at $81,086, reflecting a 1.7% increase in the past 24 hours but still showing a 2.3% decrease over the past week. The ongoing correction has raised concerns among investors about whether the asset will recover or enter a prolonged consolidation phase. While there is no definitive reason behind Bitcoin’s ongoing price movements, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost has highlighted an interesting correlation between BTC and Nasdaq According to Darkfost, Bitcoin is currently more correlated with the Nasdaq index than with the S&P 500, suggesting that macroeconomic factors and broader market sentiment are playing a role in BTC’s performance. This correlation indicates that external market trends, such as changes in US equity markets and monetary policy decisions, might be influencing Bitcoin’s price direction. Related Reading: Michael Saylor’s Strategy Unveils $21 Billion Stock Issuance For Bitcoin Investment Short-Term Holder SOPR and Bitcoin’s Market Cycle Amid Bitcoin’s price fluctuations, CryptoQuant analyst Kripto Mevsimi has examined the Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) EMA (155), which provides insights into market cycles and investor behavior. According to Mevsimi, SOPR EMA (155) recently peaked and is now declining, signaling that short-term holders are realizing fewer profits. This trend could indicate that the market is entering a consolidation phase. The analyst further explained that if SOPR approaches 1 and holds as support, it may signal a healthy market reset before the next potential uptrend. However, if SOPR drops below 1, it could indicate increased selling pressure, which may lead to further market weakness. Mevsimi emphasized that for Bitcoin’s bullish trend, which began in early 2023, to continue, SOPR should stabilize around 1 and then trend upward again. Failure to hold this level may suggest a shift in market dynamics, putting Bitcoin’s long-term growth trajectory into question. Whale Accumulation Continues Amid Market Correction While short-term price action remains uncertain, another CryptoQuant analyst, caueconomy, has highlighted a significant accumulation trend among large Bitcoin holders. Over the last 30 days, Bitcoin whales have added over 65,000 BTC to their holdings, reflecting strong buying pressure from major network participants. Caueconomy noted that this accumulation is occurring despite the broader market correction, suggesting that whales are absorbing supply rather than selling off their holdings. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Downtrend Continues, But Analyst Predicts $180K Target—Is It Possible? This behavior contrasts with miners and exchanges, which often offload BTC to maintain liquidity. If the current accumulation pattern continues for several more weeks, it could resemble the consistent buying pressure seen between November and December, which helped Bitcoin rally in late 2023.

Bitcoin continues to face challenges in regaining upward momentum, with the cryptocurrency still trading below $82,000 as of today. The asset remains 25.1% below its all-time high of $109,000, recorded in January. Over the past 24 hours, BTC has seen an additional 0.7% decline, reflecting ongoing market hesitation and uncertainty among investors. Amid this price performance, CryptoQuant analyst Avocado Onchain has identified a notable trend in Bitcoin’s price channel. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Future Comes Down To This One Question, Says Bitwise Bitcoin Coinbase Premium and Market Sentiment Despite Bitcoin’s downward trajectory, the Coinbase premium has been forming higher lows, indicating potential underlying demand. However, the CryptoQuant analyst warns that no clear signals of a breakout or reversal have emerged, leaving the market in an uncertain state. Particularly, according to Avocado Onchain, Bitcoin’s price remains within a declining price channel, with repeated pullbacks making it difficult to determine a clear trend. Avocado noted: So far, there is no decisive movement indicating a full-fledged downtrend, but at the same time, there are no clear signs of a bullish reversal either. The market is becoming increasingly uncertain, creating an environment designed to confuse and unsettle investors. The Coinbase premium, which measures the difference between Bitcoin prices on Coinbase and other exchanges, has shown higher lows despite the downward price action. This could suggest that US-based investors are still accumulating BTC, even as the broader market struggles to find direction. The analyst cautions against overleveraging on bullish news or panic selling during downturns, emphasizing that strategic decisions should be made ahead of time rather than in reaction to market fluctuations. While there is no confirmation of a bear market, Avocado believes that exiting positions based on short-term fear could lead to missed opportunities in the long run. The analyst wrote: From my perspective, there isn’t enough data to declare a bear market at this point. Abandoning positions now could end up being an ill-timed exit rather than a calculated decision. Miner Selling Pressure and Market Implications Adding to the market pressure, CryptoQuant analyst IT Tech has noted a spike in BTC miner selling activity. Data shows that as Bitcoin dropped to $77,700, miners increased their BTC transfers to exchanges, a move that historically signals selling pressure at market lows. Related Reading: ‘The Magic Line’: Key Support Level At $74,000 Determines Bitcoin Bull Or Bear Future Miners often sell BTC to cover operational costs, especially during price declines. If miner selling pressure continues, it could limit Bitcoin’s ability to recover in the short term.

Bitcoin (BTC) is under severe selling pressure, having lost the $85,000 level just a few days ago. This breakdown has pushed the market to its lowest levels since November 2024, increasing fear and uncertainty among investors. The entire crypto market has been struggling, weighed down by negative macroeconomic conditions and an overall shift in risk-off sentiment. Related Reading: Charts Reveal Cardano Holds Key Support Zone – Staying Above Could ‘Set The Next Move’ U.S. President Trump’s policies have added to the volatility and instability, as rising global trade war fears and erratic economic decisions continue to rattle investors. The U.S. stock market has dropped to its lowest point since September 2024, further fueling concerns that broader financial markets are weakening, dragging Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies down with them. According to Glassnode data, the Mayer Multiplier suggests that the next key support level for Bitcoin sits at $66,000. If the current sell-off continues, BTC could test this level in the coming weeks, marking a significant correction from its recent highs. With Bitcoin at a crucial point, traders and investors are closely watching whether BTC can stabilize and reclaim key levels or if further downside is ahead. The coming days will be critical for Bitcoin’s short-term outlook. Bitcoin Struggles Below 200-Day MA Bitcoin has been in a consistent downtrend since late January, with fear dominating investor sentiment. Many now believe that the bull cycle is over, as BTC continues to set lower highs and break key support levels. With selling pressure mounting, the market remains under bearish control, and lower targets are being set by cautious investors. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could Rally Above ATH To $128K – On-Chain Indicator Signals Potential Recovery Since the U.S. elections in November 2024, macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility have been major drivers of the market. The rise in global trade tensions, erratic economic policies, and shaken investor confidence have all contributed to Bitcoin’s extended correction. With U.S. stock markets also struggling, Bitcoin has failed to find the momentum needed for a recovery. Top analyst Ali Martinez shared insights on X, highlighting that Bitcoin is now trading below the 200-day moving average, a key technical indicator that often signals long-term trend direction. According to the Mayer Multiple, the next major support level sits at $66,000. If BTC fails to stabilize above current levels, further selling pressure could send Bitcoin toward this lower support zone in the coming weeks. For Bitcoin to reverse its downward trend, bulls must reclaim the 200-day MA around $83,500. A break and hold above this level would indicate strength returning to the market and could prevent further downside. However, if BTC fails to regain momentum, fear and uncertainty will continue to drive prices lower, making the next few weeks crucial for Bitcoin’s market structure. Investors are closely watching price action as Bitcoin remains at a critical point that could define its mid-term trend. BTC Eyes $85K For Recovery Bitcoin is currently trading at $81,700 after losing the 200-day Moving Average (MA) at $83,450, a key technical level that previously supported its bullish momentum. With BTC now trading below this critical indicator, the market remains under bearish pressure, and traders are closely watching for signs of a potential reversal. For bulls to regain control, BTC must reclaim the $85,000 mark in the coming days. A strong push above this level would indicate renewed buying interest, potentially setting the stage for a recovery rally. However, if BTC fails to break above $85K, the market could see further downside pressure. Related Reading: Cardano Bulls Eye $10 Target – Analyst Reveals Key Levels To Break If BTC drops below the $80,000–$78,000 range, it will increase the likelihood of a decline toward the next major support levels at $75,000–$72,000. Such a move would reinforce bearish sentiment, delaying any chances of a meaningful recovery in the near term. The next few trading sessions will be critical, as Bitcoin remains in a vulnerable position where either a reclaim of key levels or a deeper correction is imminent.
