Lightning fast, like most things in Bitcoin and the crypto space, general sentiment in the market seems to have changed. The bears have taken over. BTC’s price has been bleeding and this time suggests further downside.

Many “bought the dip” when it BTC was below $50,000 expecting a bounce-back during the weekend towards the familiar $58,000 area. The bounce is yet to happen and, as some experts have pointed out, BTC could see more blood before it experiences a recovery.

At the time of writing, BTC stands at $42,692 with a 9.4% loss in the daily chart and a 30% correction in the monthly chart. Lower timeframes are moving sideways with a 10% loss in the daily chart as BTC’s price broke below 3 critical support levels at $47,000, $45,000, and $43,000.

As Bitcoin expert Preston Pysh claimed via Twitter, Bitcoin has seen similar corrections in the past. The expert has called recent price action “business as usual” and a consequence of BTC’s compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 200%.

As depicted below, during 2016 and 2017 bull-fun, BTC’s price saw at least 6 corrections from its yearly low towards, at the time, a new all-time high of $20,000. The corrections varied from 38% and 29%.

The Bears Put Relentless Selling Pressure On Bitcoin

After losing 3 critical support levels, Bitcoin needs to reclaim the area above $44,000 for a potential bounce to finally kick in. However, as trader “lowstrife” has shown, the market is facing relentless selling pressure. A whale on Bitfinex has been selling 100 BTC every minute with a 4,000 BTC short margin. The trader said:

This person has single handedly moved bitfinex -100bp, currently trading ~$180 discount to spot (…). 7091 btc have been taken out from the lending market in large blocks. Looks like this guy takes out a chunk rather than letting the system nibble out like his orders are. We’re talking ~$300m in exposure if these all get added on. Serious player playing serious games.

In the last hour, the entity selling BTC on Bitfinex has increased the selling pressure to 200 BTC every minute before taking a pause.

CryptoQuant’s CEO Ki-Young Ju has recorded an increase in BTC inflows for the past days and classified the activity as “unusual”. Although Young Ju said most of the funds have gone towards the derivative sector in Binance, he warned caution:

I don’t usually trade when a bunch of inflow alerts rings off. I’m going to wait until the inflow signal cools off.

Data from Glassnode suggest the selling pressure might be coming from addresses with 1,000 BTC. This metric is at its lowest point in 10 months dropping from 2,500 to 2,150, at the time of writing.

Additional data indicates that inactive coins for the past 5 years could have reentered the market. The metric reached a 6-month high with 21.9% of this supply on the move.

Reynaldo Marquez

A literature major, Reynaldo Márquez has been deeply immersed in the crypto industry since 2017. His journey began with translating articles for various crypto news outlets, a role he took on with zeal. In 2018, amidst a challenging market, he embraced his first writing assignment, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the nascent industry and the promise of change it bears for many people worldwide.
In March 2021, he joined the prestigious crypto news outlet NewsBTC and Bitcoinist, where he not only reported on the latest crypto news but also had the privilege of interviewing some of the industry's most influential figures. A year later, his dedication and hard work were recognized, and he was promoted to Managing Editor, a position he currently holds with pride.
He believes in honesty, good communication, hard work, and the power of cryptocurrency and its potential to transform people's lives, especially those alienated by the legacy financial system. Born in 1992 in Venezuela, Reynaldo is familiar with how governments and central banks can negatively affect people, their everyday lives, and their futures by creating inflation and erasing their hopes for a better future. Thus, like many Venezuelans, he embraced this new technology to help him and his family navigate difficult times.
In another life, Reynaldo would have pursued a career as an investigator, most likely tracking down the origins of the Cyberpunk movement with the publication of William Gibson’s ‘Neuromancer.’ The intersection between fiction and reality, with the materialization of Bitcoin in 2009, would have allowed him to dive deep into the crypto sphere as something more than a financial phenomenon but also a cultural shift in society that was brewing since the XX century, and maybe even sooner, in the XIX century with the publication of Henry David Thoreau’s ‘Civil Disobedience.’
But that’s for another life. In this one, Reynaldo has been trading to improve his trading skills. Since 2023, he has been trying to learn Python to create successful strategies and find ways to execute them. It is a difficult task, which continues to keep him busy today and will most likely continue to keep him busy in the near and long term.
In his free time, he enjoys lifting heavy objects, reading, watching movies, and listening to his favorite music. Some of his favorite authors are Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Raymond Carver, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Mario Vargas Llosa, Reinaldo Arenas, Rafael Cadenas, and many others. Lately, he has been primarily interested in reading about dystopic societies, a topic that deeply resonates with the crypto industry.
Since 2023, he has lived in Spain with his wife. He loves the weather, the food, and the people and their culture. They both expect to travel much more within the country they now call home and beyond its border. He hopes to retire with his wife, maybe in a quiet place near a beach, but most likely in a city close to a library and a university with his kids and, hopefully, grandkids.
