Bitcoin Recovery Stalls As HODLers Apply Selling Pressure

On-chain data shows that Bitcoin long-term holders have potentially been selling recently, something that may explain BTC’s continued bearish momentum. Bitcoin Exchange Inflow CDD Has Registered Huge Spikes Recently As an analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post explained, old cryptocurrency tokens have recently been deposited in large quantities in centralized exchanges. The on-chain metric of interest here is the “Exchange Inflow Coin Days Destroyed (CDD).” A “coin day” refers to a quantity that 1 BTC accumulates after staying dormant on the blockchain for 1 day. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crash Forced Weak Hands Into Largest Loss-Taking Since 2022 Lows: Report When a coin that had been sitting still inside a wallet is finally moved, its coin days counter naturally resets back to zero, and the coin days it had been carrying before the move are said to be “destroyed.” The CDD keeps track of the total amount of coin days being reset in this manner across the network. In the context of the current topic, though, the general CDD isn’t the one of focus, but rather the Exchange Inflow CDD, which only keeps track of the coin days being destroyed through transactions into wallets connected to exchanges. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Exchange Inflow CDD over the past month or so: As is visible in the above graph, the Bitcoin Exchange Inflow CDD has registered some spikes of considerable scale this month. This would imply that many dormant coins have recently seen deposits into exchanges. Generally, spikes in the CDD correlate to movement from the long-term holders (LTHs), as these HODLers tend to accumulate large amounts of coin days. Therefore, the recent spikes in the Exchange Inflow CDD suggest that these diamond hands have been transferred to exchanges. Holders make transactions into exchanges when they want to use one of the services these platforms provide, which can include selling. The chart shows that the spikes earlier in the month had come when Bitcoin had plunged towards its lows, implying that the selling pressure from this cohort may have played a role in the crash. The latest spike, larger in scale than the others, has come while BTC has been trying to start a recovery rally from these recent lows. So far, BTC has had no luck, suggesting that the selling from the LTHs has potentially been holding the coin back. Related Reading: Chainlink Traders Capitulate After 10% Plunge: Bottom Here? It remains to be seen how the Exchange Inflow CDD behaves in the coming days and if any potential further spikes would impede Bitcoin in its path to recovery.

Bitcoin Miner Selling Cools Off Is This The Breakout Moment?

In an analysis provided by CryptoQuant, a significant change in Bitcoin miner behavior has been noted, potentially indicating a turning point. CryptoQuant analyst, known as Crypto Dan, outlined a reduction in miners’ selling pressure, which has historically been a pivotal factor affecting Bitcoin’s price trajectory. Bitcoin Mining Selling Pressure Decreases According to Crypto Dan, “Miners’ selling pressure decreases. One of the whales that have caused the cryptocurrency market to fall recently have been miners.” He explained that the BTC halving, which halved mining rewards, led to a decrease in the use of older, less efficient mining rigs, subsequently reducing overall mining activity. This change forced miners to sell Bitcoin in over-the-counter (OTC) transactions to sustain their operations. The analysis suggests that the market is currently absorbing the sell-off, with a notable decline in the volume and frequency of Bitcoin being transferred out of miners’ wallets. “The current market can be seen as being in the process of digesting this sell-off, and fortunately, the quantity and number of Bitcoins miners are sending out of their wallets has been rapidly decreasing recently,” Crypto Dan stated. Related Reading: BlackRock Global Allocation Fund Reveals Major Bitcoin ETF Stake With 43,000 Shares The implications of this shift are significant. Crypto Dan added, “In other words, the selling pressure of miners is weakening, and if all of their selling volume is absorbed, a situation may be created where the upward rally can continue again.” He projected optimism for the market, predicting positive movements in the third quarter of 2024. Historical data from CryptoQuant corroborates the analysis. BTC has previously shown a similar pattern where miner selling activity exerted a strong influence on market prices, particularly noted from May to September 2023 and from December 2023 to January 2024. During these periods, prolonged sideways movement in BTC prices was observed, aligning with peaks in miner selling. Notably, when these selling activities diminished, Bitcoin prices resumed an upward trend. This pattern suggests that the recent decrease in miner selling could be the precursor to another significant bullish phase for Bitcoin, as market conditions appear ripe for a similar reversal of fortunes. Key Price Level For A Bullish Breakout Further insights from technical analysts at alpha dj provide a granular view of the market conditions. Their daily update on Bitcoin through X underscores the current market indecision, characterized by Bitcoin “chopping around” without clear directional movement. However, the analysts have identified critical price levels which could indicate future market movements: “If BTC reclaims the $63.5k area, it would be bullish; if it loses the $60k level, it would be bearish.” Related Reading: Fears Of Bitcoin Sales By US And German Govts Are FUD, Even Bullish: Experts The technical analysis also reveals that the liquidity in the Bitcoin market is currently dispersed, with few substantial clusters of orders. The most notable concentration of orders is around the $63.5k level, suggesting that this price point is pivotal for market sentiment and potential bullish momentum. The order book data provided by alpha dj highlights a current dominance of sell orders, indicating a bearish sentiment among traders. Conversely, the bid side is described as weak, with fewer buy orders supporting upward price movements. This imbalance suggests that the market is currently cautious, potentially awaiting more definitive signals before committing to more substantial positions. At press time, BTC traded at $61,704.

Solana Drops Below $100 For First Time In A Year Is An 80% Correction Underway?

Solana is now trading below the $100 mark after intense selling pressure swept through the crypto market over the weekend. Sundays drop pushed SOL into its lowest price zone in more than a year, signaling a sharp shift in sentiment as fear grips the market. Since the start of March, Solana has lost more than 45% of its value, and momentum suggests the downtrend may not be over yet. Related Reading: Dogecoin Faces Make-Or-Break Support Level Will DOGE Hold? The breakdown has sparked concern among investors and analysts alike, with many warning that SOL could be headed for deeper lows if current support fails to hold. Top analyst Jason Pizzino shared a technical analysis pointing out that this is the first time in over 12 months that Solana is trading below the $100 level a historically significant threshold. According to Pizzino, the next major price targets sit at levels levels that would represent an 80% total decline from Solanas recent highs. Such moves, while steep, arent uncommon during heavy altcoin corrections. With macro uncertainty and broad market weakness driving risk-off behavior, Solanas path forward will likely depend on whether bulls can reclaim key levels or if more downside is still to come. Solana Faces Critical Breakdown As Analysts Eye Deeper Correction Solana is now undergoing a crucial test as the price trades below $100 for the first time in over a year. Bulls are under pressure to reclaim key levels quickly in order to prevent further downside. However, the broader macroeconomic landscape paints a grim picture. Global markets remain rattled by escalating trade war tensions and policy uncertainty stemming from the U.S. and China, with financial conditions tightening across the board. For high-risk assets like Solana, the backdrop suggests the decline may still have room to continue. Pizzino has shared a bearish technical outlook that supports this view. He highlights the significance of Solanas repeated bearish signals using the 3-bar rule. The first warning appeared in November 2024, followed by another in January 2025. Now, with SOL firmly trading below $100, Pizzino believes the next targets lie at $80 and potentially sub-$60 a level that would represent an 80% correction from Solanas recent highs. While that may seem extreme, such pullbacks are not unusual in major altcoin cycles, particularly when driven by broader market panic. Related Reading: Ethereum Lags Behind Bitcoin In Q1 Performance Amid Market Downturn Details For Solana, the path forward hinges on whether bulls can reclaim momentum soon. A push back above the $110$120 zone could shift sentiment and delay deeper losses. Until then, the market remains on edge. Solana Bulls Fight to Avoid Further Losses Solana is currently trading at $100 after briefly dipping to $95 a price level not seen since February 2024. The sharp correction highlights the intense selling pressure that has taken hold of the market in recent weeks. As fear and uncertainty continue to dominate sentiment, SOL remains vulnerable to deeper losses if bulls fail to step in. The $100 level is now a psychological and technical battleground. While bulls are attempting to defend it, the broader market context shaped by global macroeconomic instability and weakening investor confidence suggests the recovery may face significant resistance. For Solana to regain momentum and signal a possible trend reversal, it must reclaim the $120 zone, which previously served as a key support level. Related Reading: Massive Chainlink Demand Wall At $6.26 As 90K Investors Buy 376M LINK However, selling pressure remains strong, and if SOL fails to hold the $100 threshold, a move into lower demand zones becomes increasingly likely. Analysts point to the $80 level as the next critical area where buyers may look to step in. Until then, price action remains fragile, and the downtrend could extend if broader market conditions fail to improve. For now, all eyes are on whether $100 can hold or break.

This Bitcoin Metric Foreshadowed Recent Price Drops, Quant Reveals

A quant has pointed out how a Bitcoin metric may have detected selling pressure in the market, and therefore, the subsequent price drops, in advance. Bitcoin CDD Registered Spikes Before Recent Price Plunges In a new post on X, an analyst has discussed about how the Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) on-chain indicator may be used to identify selling pressure in the market early. A “coin day” refers to the quantity that 1 BTC accumulates after staying still on the blockchain for 1 day. When a token stays dormant for a while, it naturally accumulates some number of coin days, and once it’s finally transferred on the network, its coin days counter resets back to zero. Related Reading: XRP Whales Are Active: Heres Where They Are Sending Coins The coin days that this token had been carrying prior to this movement are said to be “destroyed” by the transaction. The CDD keeps track of the total number of such days being reset across the network on any given day. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the CDD for Bitcoin over the last couple of months: The pattern that the indicator has followed alongside the BTC price in the past two months | Source: CryptoQuant As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin CDD observed a large spike just a few days ago. Whenever this metric’s value shoots up, it means that a large amount of coins previously dormant are now on the move. Such transfers are generally correlated with the long-term holder whales, who are large entities who carry their coins for significant periods, and thus, accumulate a large number of coin days. Often, when these dormant entities finally break their silence, it’s for selling-related purposes. As such, spikes in the CDD can be an indication that the HODLer whales have decided to do some selling. In the chart, the quant has highlighted the major spikes that the indicator observed during the last two months. It would appear that following the onset of such spikes, the asset’s price has generally gone on to witness some bearish action. The aforementioned spike from a few days ago, too, has proven to be bearish for the asset so far as it occurred when Bitcoin had recovered towards $67,000, and the price has since erased this recovery. It would appear that some of these diamond hands had looked at this surge as an exit opportunity. Related Reading: 85% Of Altcoins In Opportunity Zone, Santiment Reveals Last month, the CDD had seen two spikes even larger than this recent one. These spikes had occurred near what continues to be the top for the rally so far. Thus, the selling pressure from HODLers may have played a role in this top and the subsequent drawdown that followed. Given the relationship that this metric has appeared to have held with the Bitcoin price, it may be worth keeping an eye on it, as it may continue to indicate the onset of selling pressure in the near future as well. BTC Price Bitcoin has continued its bearish trajectory during the past day as it has now slipped towards the $62,300 level.

Bitcoin Back Above $70,000 Despite Negative Taker Volume

Bitcoin has surged back above the $70,000 level during the past day despite the negative Net Taker Volume for the asset. Bitcoin Net Taker Volume Has Seen Some Large Negative Spikes Recently As explained by CryptoQuant Netherlands community manager Maartunn in a post on X, selling spikes of a significantly heavier scale than before have recently appeared in the Bitcoin Net Taker Volume. Related Reading: Bitcoin 2 Months Through Euphoria Wave, How Long Was The Last One? The “Net Taker Volume” is an indicator that keeps track of the difference between the Bitcoin taker buy and taker sell volumes in perpetual swaps. How can the sell and buy volumes be different? As CryptoQuant explains in its data guide: This concept is often confusing because every trade requires both a buyer and a seller of the given underlying asset. However, depending on whether the order taker is a buyer or seller (whether a transaction occurs at the ask price or the bid price), you can distinguish between long volume from taker seller volume. When the value of this metric is positive, it means that the taker buy volume is overwhelming the taker sell volume right now. Such a trend implies a bullish sentiment is shared by the majority. On the other hand, the negative indicator suggests that more sellers are willing to sell the coin at a lower price, a sign that a bearish mentality is the dominant one. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Net Taker Volume over the past year: The value of the metric seems to have been quite red in recent days | Source: @JA_Maartun on X As the above graph shows, the Bitcoin Net Taker Volume has recently registered a sharp negative spike, implying that the taker sell volume has been higher than the taker buy volume. The Net Taker Volume has been seeing some large red spikes for a while, as the analyst highlighted in the chart. “Bitcoin is being hammered down massively, with selling spikes on the Net Taker Volume significantly heavier than before,” says Maartunn. Interestingly, despite this bearish sentiment in the market, the Bitcoin price has managed to hold up relatively well. Obviously, the coin’s bullish momentum has gone while these negative Net Taker Volume spikes have taken hold, but the fact that BTC has shown strength against any sustained drawdowns is still impressive. Related Reading: Dogecoin Slows Down: What Needs To Happen For New DOGE Highs? A pattern that’s perhaps visible in the chart is that although the Net Taker Volume has continued to see red spikes recently, their scale has gradually decreased. Thus, if this trend continues, it’s possible that the bearish mentality will eventually run out, and buying pressure will take over Bitcoin. It now remains to be seen how the indicator develops shortly. BTC Price Bitcoin declined below $68,000 just yesterday, but today, the asset has already bounced back and is now trading around $70,800.

Bitcoin Liquid Inventory Ratio Hits All-Time Low, What It Means

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin “Liquid Inventory Ratio” has dropped to an all-time low. Here’s what this could mean for the asset. Bitcoin Sell Side Liquidity Is Low Relative To Demand Right Now In a post on X, CryptoQuant founder and CEO Ki Young Ju discussed the recent trend in the Liquid Inventory Ratio for Bitcoin. The Liquid Inventory Ratio is an on-chain indicator that tells us about how the total sell-side liquidity inventory of the asset compares against its demand. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sentiment Returns To Extreme Greed As BTC Breaks $71,000 The sell-side liquidity inventory of the asset is gauged using four factors: the total exchange reserve, miner holdings, OTC desk holdings, and US government-seized BTC. Out of these, the exchange reserve (that is, the total amount sitting in the wallets of centralized exchanges) is the largest potential source of sell-side liquidity. The chart on the right below shows how the sell-side liquidity inventory of the coin has changed over the last few years: The value of the metric appears to have been going down in recent years | Source: ki_young_ju on X From the graph, it’s visible that the sell-side liquidity of the cryptocurrency has been heading down for a while now. This decline is mostly driven by the depletion of exchange reserves, as investors have been continuously pushing towards self-custody, possibly preferring to hold onto their Bitcoin for extended periods. The chart on the left displays the trend in the total demand for the asset. Here, the demand is measured using the 30-day balance changes of “accumulation addresses.” The accumulation addresses are those that have a history of only buying BTC and no history of selling. Exchanges and miner entities are excluded from this cohort, of course, as they count under the sell-side liquidity instead, regardless of whether they satisfy the condition for accumulation addresses or not. Clearly, the demand for Bitcoin has exploded recently as new players like exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have entered into the arena. All this BTC is potentially going out of circulation and being locked into the wallets known for hosting a one-way traffic. Given these two developments in the sell-side liquidity inventory and demand, it’s not surprising to see that the Liquid Inventory Ratio, which measures the ratio between the two, has plunged recently. The trend in the Liquid Inventory Ratio for the asset over the past few years | Source: ki_young_ju on X Following the latest decline in the indicator, its value has, in fact, dropped to a new all-time low. This means that the sell-side liquidity has never been this low when compared to the demand for Bitcoin. Related Reading: Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Returns To Neutral: Buying Push Already Over?

Bitcoin Miner Selling Power Plunges, Green Signal For Price?

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin miner selling power has plunged recently, a sign that could be positive for the crypto’s price. Bitcoin Miner Selling Power Has Plummeted In Recent Days As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, there has been less selling pressure from the miners recently. There are two relevant indicators here, the miner supply and the miner outflow. The first of these, the miner supply, is simply a measure of the total amount of Bitcoin currently sitting in the wallets of miners. The other one, the miner outflow, is a metric that keeps track of the total number of coins that miners are transferring out of their supply at the moment. Now, the “miner selling power” is defined as this miner outflow divided by the miner supply (30-day moving average, log-scaled). When the value of this indicator is high, it means miners are transferring out large amounts compared to their total supply right now. Since miners usually take out their BTC for dumping purposes, this trend can be bearish for the value of the crypto. On the other hand, low values suggest miners are spending relatively little amounts currently. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bullish Signal? Small Investors Show Rapid Accumulation The below chart shows the trend in the Bitcoin miner selling power over the last few years: The value of the metric seems to have taken a plunge in recent days | Source: CryptoQuant As the above graph displays, whenever the Bitcoin miner selling power has reached high values and set a local peak, the price of the crypto has seen some downtrend. This trend makes sense as highs in the metric suggest increased selling pressure from these chain validators. Recently, the indicator again showed such a formation, and BTC reacted with a decline this time as well, as its price went from more than $18,000 to the current $16,000 level. However, since this recent peak, the miner selling power has been rapidly going down and has now set a new low. Related Reading: Bitcoin Selling Pressure Becoming Exhausted? This Metric May Hint So This muted selling pressure from miners may not necessarily be bullish by itself, but it does mean that if Bitcoin shows any bullish momentum now, miners wouldn’t provide any impedance to it for the time being. An interesting long-term trend to notice in the miner selling power chart is that the metric has been on an overall downtrend in the last five years or so. This means that over time, miners have been selling lesser and lesser BTC compared to their reserves, suggesting that they have been accumulating and growing their supply instead. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $16,800, up 1% in the last week.

Bitcoin Leverage Remains High Data Reveals Selling Pressure Above $93K

After a historic rally, Bitcoin has faced its first major setback, pulling back 7% from its all-time high of $99,800. This comes after an impressive surge from $67,500 on November 5, marking a nearly 50% climb in just a few weeks. The price action has largely been “only up,” attracting significant attention from traders and investors alike. Related Reading: Ethereum Analyst Predicts $3,700 Once ETH Breaks Through Resistance However, the current pullback highlights growing caution in the market. Market caution said leverage levels remain elevated despite recent deleveraging efforts. Adler’s analysis reveals that increasing short positions and consolidation below the psychological $100,000 mark have contributed to the retracement. While Bitcoin’s performance remains strong in the broader context, this dip signals a potential shift in market sentiment. The question is whether BTC can gather enough momentum to break past the $100,000 barrier or if further consolidation is on the horizon. Many investors consider this pullback a healthy pause in a bullish cycle, but the high leverage levels suggest continued volatility. All eyes are on Bitcoin as it navigates this critical phase, with the next few days likely to determine its short-term direction. Bitcoin Bears Showing Up After three weeks of minimal resistance from bears, signs of their resurgence emerge as Bitcoin struggles to break past the $100,000 level. This critical price point, which many believed would act as a springboard for further gains, has instead highlighted growing bearish sentiment. According to CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler, the recent price action marks a potential shift in momentum. Adlers analysis on X reveals that despite a wave of recent deleveraging, leverage levels in the market remain elevated. Many key long positions were established around the $93,000 mark, providing bears with an opportunity to profit as BTC failed to push higher. This level has now become a battleground, with Bitcoin’s inability to sustain upward momentum signaling the possibility of further downside risk. Bitcoins price hovers around this key level, raising the likelihood of a correction toward $88,500 or prolonged sideways consolidation below $100,000. Such a scenario would impact Bitcoin and set the tone for altcoin performance in the coming weeks. Related Reading: XRP Analyst Sets $2 Target If It Holds Key Level Can It Reach Multi-Year Highs? The next two weeks will be pivotal as market participants closely watch Bitcoins price action. A decisive move, whether up or down, will shape the broader cryptocurrency landscape and determine whether this is merely a pause in a larger rally or the start of a deeper correction. BTC Testing Fresh Demand Bitcoin is trading at $93,500 as bears regained control after it hit an all-time high last Friday. This retracement marks a shift in momentum, but bulls still can reclaim dominance if the price remains strong above the critical $92,000 support level. Holding this level would keep Bitcoin’s price action structurally bullish and signal resilience in the face of increased selling pressure. If Bitcoin sustains strength above $92,000, the outlook for the short term remains optimistic, with the potential for another attempt at breaking key resistance levels. However, a drop below this mark would signal short-term weakness, potentially triggering further declines. The next critical level to watch would be around $84,000, where the 4-hour 200 EMA aligns as a support zone. This level represents a major line in the sand for bulls. A breakdown below it could accelerate bearish momentum, extending the correction and dampening market sentiment. On the other hand, holding above $92,000 would reinforce bullish confidence, setting the stage for a recovery and a potential pushback toward previous highs. Related Reading: Avalanche Soars 20% In 24 Hours Analyst Reveals Next Price Target Traders and investors are closely watching these levels, as Bitcoins ability to stay above $92,000 will determine whether it remains in a short-term bullish structure or succumbs to bearish pressures.

Bitcoin Spot Is King STH Selling Pressure Expected To Be Absorbed By ETFs

Bitcoin has experienced a whirlwind of volatility following its recent all-time high of $93,483 set on Wednesday. Over the past few days, the price has oscillated between this record level and a low of $85,100, indicating the potential onset of a consolidation phase before the next major move. Traders and investors are now closely monitoring whether BTC will stabilize or continue its upward trajectory. Related Reading: Solana God Candle Is Close As It Breaks From Crucial Resistance Top Analyst Key data from CryptoQuant suggests that selling pressure may increase quickly, primarily driven by speculative traders looking to lock in quick profits. However, this doesn’t necessarily spell trouble for Bitcoins bullish momentum. Analysts predict that much of the selling pressure will be absorbed by the growing demand for Bitcoin ETFs, which have gained significant traction among institutional investors. This balance between short-term selling and institutional accumulation could set the stage for Bitcoins next move. With volatility expected to persist in the coming days, market participants are eagerly watching for signals that might indicate the direction of BTC’s price action. Whether this phase leads to a deeper correction or propels Bitcoin toward new highs, one thing is clearBitcoin continues to dominate the financial landscape with its dynamic performance. Bitcoin Strong Demand Supports Bullish Price Action Bitcoins price action has been impressive, surging by 38% over the past ten days. This rapid rise has caught the attention of many investors, reaffirming the growing strength of Bitcoins demand.  Key data from CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler offers insight into the current market dynamics, highlighting that Bitcoin is trading above its short-term holder (STH) cost basis of $69,000. This level represents a crucial support threshold for those who acquired Bitcoin in the past few months, indicating solid demand above this price. Additionally, the MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio stands at 1.3, suggesting that Bitcoin is still profitable. However, Adler notes that if this ratio crosses the 1.35 mark, it could trigger selling pressure from short-term speculators looking to lock in profits. While this may prompt some market volatility, its important to note that most of these coins are expected to be absorbed by growing institutional demand, particularly through Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Related Reading: Cardano Skyrockets Over 40% Funding Rate Suggests Further Upside This data points to a significant shift in Bitcoins rallyrather than being fueled by speculative futures trades, the recent surge appears to be driven by strong spot demand. Spot demand typically reflects a more sustainable, stable price move than the volatility often seen in futures-driven rallies.  As Bitcoin continues to trade above key support levels, the outlook remains bullish, driven by a healthy balance between speculative trading and long-term institutional interest. BTC Technical View: Prices To Watch  Bitcoin is trading at $89,240, reflecting a 7% retrace from its recent all-time high of $93,483. The price has consolidated below this level following a period of aggressive upward momentum that propelled it into price discovery territory. This pause in the rally allows the market to stabilize and test key support levels before determining its next move. During this consolidation, the $85,000 mark has emerged as a crucial support level. If Bitcoin can hold above this level in the coming days, it may provide the foundation for another surge, potentially challenging the $90,000 resistance and retesting its all-time high. A successful reclaim of $90,000 would signal renewed bullish momentum, paving the way for further price expansion. Related Reading: Ethereum Analyst Sees Altseason Potential As BTS Is Still Outpacing ETH Time To Buy Altcoins? However, failure to maintain the $85,000 support could lead to a deeper correction. In this scenario, Bitcoin would likely seek lower-level demand, with $82,000 emerging as a significant area of interest for buyers. As the market navigates this critical phase, traders and investors will closely watch price action for signals of either a breakout or a pullback, with both scenarios carrying implications for Bitcoin’s short-term trajectory.

Bitcoin Consolidates After Recent Surge Metrics Reveal Moderate Selling Pressure

Bitcoin has reached a new all-time high of $90,243 following a week of relentless upward momentum. After days marked by euphoria and rapid gains, the price is now entering a consolidation phase, providing a much-needed pause for the market.  Key data from CryptoQuant indicates moderate selling pressure is emerging, which may signal a brief pullback or stabilization below the $90,000 mark. Related Reading: Dogecoin Could Target $2.4 If Price Aligns With Macro Pattern Details This week will be pivotal in determining Bitcoins next steps as traders and investors watch if BTC will hold near the $90,000 supply level or retreat to test support around $80,000. With strong market fundamentals and continued interest from bullish investors, the potential for another rally remains high.  However, a short consolidation period could offer healthier groundwork for BTCs long-term ascent. All eyes will be on whether Bitcoin can sustain its current levels or if this cooling-off phase will allow buyers to re-enter lower demand zones, setting the stage for the next major price move. Bitcoin Selling Pressure Still Far From Peak Levels Bitcoin has reached a local top after setting a fresh all-time high, signaling a potential pause in its recent surge. Analysts and investors are watching closely, as BTC has a history of making aggressive moves once it starts trending upward. Despite this bullish momentum, many are exercising caution, anticipating that Bitcoin might need time to consolidate before pushing higher. According to key data from CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler, the market is now experiencing moderate selling pressure. Adlers analysis points to a possible consolidation phase, as short-term holders take profits. He specifically examines the short-term holder realized profit and loss data, which reveals that the current selling pressure is relatively mild compared to historical peak selling periods. In Adlers view, this moderate pressure suggests that BTCs recent rally might not end. He highlights clusters of intense selling seen in previous peaks, marked as Clusters #1, #2, and #3 on his chart, showing levels of selling pressure significantly higher than what we see today. This data implies that while some profit-taking is underway, its nowhere near the intense levels seen at past tops.

Investors are eyeing this moment to gauge whether BTC will gather strength for the next leg up or continue cooling off, forming a solid base around current levels before another potential breakout. BTC Testing New Supply Levels (Again)  Bitcoin has officially entered a much-anticipated price discovery phase, recently marking a new all-time high of $90,243. Currently trading around $87,500, BTC has experienced days of intense buying pressure and record-setting highs. However, the market may see a period of consolidation below the $90,000 threshold as traders assess new demand levels, potentially around $80,000. The coming days will be critical in determining BTCs short-term path. If Bitcoin holds above the $85,000 mark, this would signal resilience and likely encourage a push toward higher supply zones as bullish momentum builds. However, if BTC loses this level, a retracement to lower demand of nearly $82,000 could come into play, allowing for a more stable foundation before the next rally attempt.
