Share:

Bitcoin dropped below $86,000 on Monday, continuing to expand on a liquidity imbalance as smaller participants continued to buy dips. Still, large holders were using the demand to exit positions, keeping downside pressure firmly in place.

Key takeaways:

  • -Retail and mid-sized Bitcoin wallets purchased $474 million in cumulative buy-side volume, while whales sold $2.78 billion during the same period.

  • -Short-term BTC holders continued to sell at a loss, a sign of capitulation, but a reversal has not been confirmed.

  • -Bitcoin could re-test quarterly lows at $80,600 after invalidating its short-term bull trend.
