Bitcoin Faces 2024’s Largest Long Position Liquidation: Report

by

Bitcoin has gone down sharply, thereby destabilizing the entire crypto market. Prominent analytical service CryptoQuant pointed out in a recent post on X that Bitcoin is in for a tumble alongside global stock markets.

Bitcoin declined by 16% in a single day and 30% from a recent high in the more short-term trend. This rapid decay led to the reduction of 5,500 BTC long positions in the next 24 hours, which was values at $303 million using the hourly closing rate.

Bitcoin Drop Halves Open Interest

The effects of the free-fall witnessed by Bitcoin in the given period became even more pronounced within the crypto market as a whole. The market’s open interest on major exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and OKX controlling a vast share of the market’s open interest fell down, reducing to almost half of the prior level. This decrease in open interest demonstrates that the market has been severe in its response to Bitcoin’s slide down.

Further exacerbating the effects in the market, critical trend lines are at risk. The high in January was at $48.9K had also not been maintained. The levels and the consolidation range during February at $51-52k are important support levels.

Such levels on CryptoQuant present a risk to the realized price for long-term holders (LTH) if broken. Regarding the 2018 mini-cycle, this situation creates great pressure on the Bitcoin market, which struggles to level its fluctuations, alongside fears for the currency’s future development.

Such supports are closely watched by market analysts, as the violation leads to the further bears, the level of investor confidence is undermined even more. Such expectations are pretty evident among traders, who tend to avoid more losses and fixate upon resisting considerable declines for a long time.

As a result of such a heavy slump, market participants are now calling for prudence. As a result, the investors are asked to keep abreast with development continue to learn and be ready to operate in conditions of higher risk and volatility. The next few days will be probably decisive for the Bitcoin prices to trade above or below the support levels. 

Analyst Predicts Bitcoin’s Potential Breakout To $100K After Rare Signal

by

Popular crypto analyst Crypto Rover recently shared a YouTube video showing Bitcoin showing a very specific and rather rare signal that has previously preceded significant price gains. When this signal was last seen, Bitcoin jumped to $72,000. In his video, Rover focuses on this signal and explains the important resistance levels that BTC is nearing.

AD 4nXcwQQdCbNB8krCQwFddnGDQiBvJHlog7gY6S87kFuJMnufw 6JiWSdURc89 fOvg7w Bbs99xumMQYVjhFE6vLR0LNp86 rUO5 52MJl33oRKIEn0pP pEGZnbR4CIn9AnvZ1IYvVXk5HuhVRnGDNxU13g ?key=Ya5R113y4 25GPkHh6lCgw

Bitcoin has been moving in a range that can be described as critical, identified earlier by Crypto Rover. The short term outlook for Bitcoin is that the digital currency is battling to break a major prior level in the market, that had formed a double top in the past. This resistance is critical, and the recent efforts to penetrate it have been reversed. Concerning the market as it approaches the weekend, there is a high chance of Bitcoin establishing a CME Gap, but this is not considered to be a problem.

Bitcoin Potential Breakout

Bitcoin has been on the rise in the past weekends, which is rather unusual for the given period. If Bitcoin gets a break above the present resistance level, this may initiate a huge price surge. As can be seen from the chart, the previous resistance has become support and that suggests that the market is likely to recover and possibly continue the upward trend.

Rover expects BTC to test the $72,000 level and has a target of $74,000. This range could be considered as the range high and to some extent the all-time high for BTC. If BTC manages to close above these levels, then an exponential rise towards new record high prices is possible, which is price discovery.

Crypto Rover also explained his approach, and he entered a long position in BTC at the bottom of the range. His first take-profit target is at $72,000 whereby he will be taking out half of his position. If BTC goes up to $88,000, he plans to close the trade and take his profit which could be $800,000 from just this trade.

Bitcoin Surge To $100K?

The analyst also pointed to recent inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and said that, although BlackRocks’s Bitcoin ETF has seen modest inflows, the Ethereum ETF has been reporting outflows for two days in a row. Furthermore, he mentioned that Mt. Gox sold 66% of the BTC and after the distribution is done, there would not be much selling pressure that could slow down the bits price appreciation.

Stressing on the importance of the MACD signal which has generated a buy signal in the three-day timeframe, Crypto Rover pointed out that similar signals in the past have been followed by huge rallies. They were sure that the BTC is again ready for a new important upward movement, especially when the cryptocurrency crosses those crucial borders.

Crypto Rover painted the picture of a possible large scale breakout backed up by past trends and current indicators. He still has positive sentiments towards Bitcoin especially in the post-halving consolidation and as it approaches critical levels. This confluence of events, he said, creates the conditions for BTC to hit $100,000 in the near term maybe.

Bitcoin Booms: Major Buy Signal And High-Profile Endorsements

by

In the cryptocurrency market, massive shifts are happening as Bitcoin presents one of the most popular buy indicators. Crypto Rover, a popular crypto analyst, recently shared his insights, and he expects that Bitcoin will experience significant upside due to endorsements and crucial events.

The Crypto Rover’s analysis shows one of the most important buy signals that could lead to a massive increase in the price of Bitcoin. This has been a bullish signal in the past and given that Bitcoin is experiencing this now, more and more enthusiasts are watching the next move.

Bitcoin 2024 Conference

This is the start of the much awaited Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville and this event is expected to shape the future of the bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Former President of the United States of America, Donald Trump is expected to give a speech and his appearance is believed to cause a lot of activity in the market.

Trump has previously spoken favorably about cryptocurrency, supporting the ability to have control over one’s assets and against the idea of a CBDC. Recent speculations have it that Trump may be planning to launch new policies regarding BTC which may greatly boost the market. Since his approval rating for re-election is currently above 61%, his bullish comments might greatly affect BTC.

This includes as far-fetched scenarios as Trump promoting BTC as the reserve currency of the United States. This view, which CNBC has interviewed, seems more and more realistic as the US now has more than 200,000 BTC. An announcement like this has the potential of raising the valuation of Bitcoin, and take it to new heights.

Influential Speakers At The Conference

The conference has impressive speakers like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Michael Saylor, and possibly Elon Musk. Indeed, Musk’s recent remarks on dollar value destruction and hyperinflation have already created a commotion in the market. His appearance and any positive words he has to say about BTC could help increase its worth.

Rover explains charts and patterns and focuses on the continuous bullish pattern after the hash ribbon buy signal. Traditionally, this signal has been the immediate lead to major market rallies following every halving of BTC. The present signal, beginning at the first halving of the fourth cycle is indicative of the beginning of a new bull market.

The once-feared sell-off from the defunct Mount Gox exchange now looks less alarming. Thus, with the majority of lost Bitcoins from Mount Gox, the expected market manipulation can be ruled out. This gets rid of a major bearish pressure and therefore opens up the way for potential increases.

Bitcoin has been sending buy signals and such personalities as Donald Trump and Elon Musk could become its big supporters in the future. The 2024 Bitcoin conference may very well define BTC’s price action and bullish thesis. 

Bitcoin Market Analysis: Analyst Uncovers Key Patterns And ETF Influence

by

Crypto Rover, a popular crypto-analyst, recently shared his insights in a YouTube video and analyzed the situation with Bitcoin and the reasons for the price drop. The analyst insights focus on the key trends, the effects of Ethereum and Bitcoin spot ETFs, and the large sell-off by Mt. Gox to help give a richer picture of the market today.

AD 4nXdPjNqZVgJ9mFmJDW0Ee1KDKuViUwlD1MaKrhG4U2Qkyzbl9kd1ogJ7Jz NrG UFIKTGGlh8d6kTl2xo3H6r 8sdo7s FLem1rcsmeK0WbxSfogr8Lxe0qN0I7ZH Cmcl1Yz8LxRdyMVONIsNBZB1cnK fm?key=QpE7ZBrrPC63hHFaqJHrgA

Crypto Rover highlighted that the current price drop of Bitcoin could be due to a large transaction of Mt. Gox in sending 37,000 Bitcoins to an unknown address which may be to repay customers. This large action has led to more fluctuations in the market which has seen Bitcoin decrease in value. Nonetheless, Rover is still optimistic with the current situation, especially when taking into account the history of BTC and common trends.

Bitcoin Outflows Amid ETF Surge

The analyst explains the subject of the Ethereum spot ETF, which experienced a $106 million inflow on the first day alone. On the other hand, BTC had outflows worth of around $78 million. This divergence shows that there is a dynamic in the market and that sentiment around Ethereum is changing.

Furthermore, the analyst explains the technical setups that are developing in Bitcoin’s price chart. He outlines placing stop at the break of the first bar after a high volume candle and the second bar and targets the symmetrical triangle and the falling wedge, which are bullish reversal patterns. In his opinion, these patterns indicate that Bitcoin will most likely break out at the current resistance levels.

Analyzing the one-hour frames, the cryptocurrency is still trading in the context of a descending resistance level and has a distinct support level on the opposite end. A move through this level could lead to a sharp appreciation of the pair. 

Bitcoin’s Bullish Divergence

Also, Crypto Rover notes a concealed bullish divergence on the four-hour chart where the Relative Strength Index is making lower lows while the price is making higher highs which also supports the bullish view.

The analyst reaffirms his optimistic view on Bitcoin’s future and decides to keep his trades and set the new target at 72K. He observes that this is not the first time such a phase of consolidation has occurred before a major rally and this strengthens his view that the current downturn is just a correction in the backdrop of an upward trend.

Rover also points at what he considers as high volatility in the market, with about $10 billion in short positions in Bitcoin ready to be liquidated should BTC trading price reach $72,000-$73,000. These short liquidations could therefore be a cause to magnify any upward pressure, thus increasing prices.

Crypto Rover remains rather optimistic in the case of further developments with such a significant inflow into the Bitcoin spot ETF since January 2024 that has amounted to $17.5 billion. He has an outlook that as the interest in these ETFs persists and Ethereum gains market share, the rest of the crypto market stands to benefit.

Bitcoin On The Brink: Analyst Predicts Potential 3% Surge

by

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently pointed out a peculiar pattern in the behavior of Bitcoin. In a post on X, Martinez gave a detailed analysis and stated that Bitcoin is currently in an ascending parallel channel in the lower time frames. This could mean that the BTC is in the process of establishing an upward trend if it stays the course.

AD 4nXdtZq0hWautXHgI P9CN4R2 9h8NNtdxVQp6KQgNC3lggHUXTGxVBxq0XF MvId5b8tQRKleF hTE3hxA2Z9UbSv5PIJZll8jErYK6Ut5elBCWE9TV2s4o75mIS79Jy3a6g0oVLazZxzuisS xOiUH99b4?key=1arM50bzMhHVt3

According to Martinez, the most significant level of support to watch is at $65,200. Based on the analysis, should this BTC hold above this level, there is a high possibility of a 3% price appreciation that could take the prices past $67,300. This potential rise is crucial because it is of interest to traders and investors who are keen on the changes that are happening in the market especially regarding Bitcoin.

Bitcoin’s Path Forward

The ascending parallel channel described by Martinez is a technical chart analysis that is characterized by a tendency of the price to continue in the same direction once it has been defined by the channel. In terms of the current channel, Bitcoin has been in an ascending movement, which gives a positive outlook as long as the support level holds.

AD 4nXcMp1nSXwv7RPZcJ xOMffdJrg4DSzgXzxR1D9ALwVZzb0EMVn Lg6JiuTSwYagR2akWLTPMaMtmo65qkhfyi81qA VLljyc9PsWV8PCYBMaU8pSKET7xg2 p1QXgn5kTAfEE6Lrwg4y6hzY1L6JZ6RRuCp?key=1arM50bzMhHVt3

The following are the observations made by Martinez at a time that is rather significant for Bitcoin. Over the recent months, it has been on the rise and fall based on several factors such as changes in the law, sentiments people, and even general economic conditions. Therefore, his prediction of a 3% increase is a positive sign for those that have invested in Bitcoin as they stand a chance for short term profits in the middle of the fluctuating market.

At the moment, Bitcoin is trading near the $65,200 support level, and the focus is on market signals and participants’ moods. Therefore, the cryptocurrency’s capacity to hold this support level may very well determine its short-term direction. On the other hand, if the price falls below this level, it could mean increased price fluctuations and possible drops, which is why trading cryptocurrencies is rather risky.

In a recent analysis, Ali Martinez has identified a possible profitable trade for Bitcoin investors. The key level to watch is the critical support level at $65,200, as well as the ascending parallel channel. If Bitcoin manages to stay above this support level, targets at $67,300, which is a 3% rise are quite possible, hence increasing the price of the cryptocurrency further. 

Bitcoin Market Sees Temporary Dip After Old Coins Hit Exchanges

by

Top tier data analytical platform CryptoQuant provided some analysis of the recent Bitcoin market volatility. The analysis of the platform’s CDD data showed that there was a decrease in the price of BTC when older coins are moved to exchanges. This trend reveals how even a small amount of aged BTC could affect the market in the short term.

AD 4nXfPPdwzo4xRjJ OVVFQuXGNy9CLL iQwMpNRN1ZhmyDKMA IGgbt1PKeNxwJgv RQz RbHoGWs7Unbjg LwM6QNBACP6iTldBO7hoVfXCf z0qw5LvErrJiMMFx

CryptoQuant reveals that intraday CDD data demonstrates which age groups of Bitcoins effect the market in a certain way. Specifically, the data revealed high values: These are 4% for the BTC that are 3-5 years old, 8% for those that are 2-3 years old, 4% for those that are 12-18 months old and lastly 2% for the 6-12 months old BTC. These figures show that moving the older Bitcoins would cause an immediate effect on the price, although the quantities are small.

Bitcoin Transfers Affect Market Dynamics?

CryptoQuant has also pointed out that transfers in the market tend to come in different sizes. Certain days have more old BTCs being pushed into the market, while others have fewer transactions. Nonetheless, the majority of intraday trading is carried out with new BTC that have little to no effect on the market.

Thus, the analysis stresses the need to consider CDD data alongside selling pressure to capture the market’s response in its entirety. This is that, when old BTC are transferred to exchanges, the price of Bitcoins goes down most of the times.

This recent analysis by CryptoQuant could be useful for investors and those who follow the market closely. It captures the interaction between the age of Bitcoins entering the market and the price movement that follows. Despite this, the market is rather stable and can quickly bounce back, especially when old Bitcoins are introduced.

Nevertheless, CryptoQuant highlights that such selling pressure is often transient given the small volumes being traded. Thus, the market is expected to return to normal in the short term after the first effects of the crisis.

The recent trend of the Bitcoin price decrease after the flow of the old coins to the exchanges proves the significance of CDD data for the market analysis. Although these events may have short-term effects of disturbing the market, it bounces back immediately. Investors are advised to remain knowledgeable and be more concerned with the long-term approaches to the dynamics of Bitcoin trading.

Bitcoin Seller Pressure Rises As 4,623 BTC Hit Spot Exchanges In One Block

by

According to CryptoQuant, a prominent analytical service, a noteworthy shift has occurred in the Bitcoin market. A total of 4,623 Bitcoins was traded in spot exchanges in a single block on 8th July 2024, which has led to speculations regarding the future of the seller pressure.

AD 4nXemA1PMJFwnuldqJGLlLo1PwnHwZrOUjwq123lpPNPJ4Y72HqSHkceCI0XVgcniL79plhWIvzJ39VY0WX3Jt94zoJR7v0gVSuokb5j4ZIgUUYawwpGd23Ajic2vhjrP51EiTYYIVenhsRnrfTQCHdpdu94?key=YhWyB arnaLKb02EAHECFg

CryptoQuant analysts have offered a detailed analysis of futures and spot exchanges and estimated that 81,000 Bitcoins were withdrawn from the exchanges on July 5-6, 2024. Out of these, around 47,000 are attributed to the now-bankrupted Mt. Gox exchange.

This is because the Bitcoins would be transferred to the spot exchanges for the purpose of liquidation slowly. Also, the German government has sold out more than 10,000 Bitcoins since June 2024 and holds about 39,826 Bitcoins estimated to be about $2.2 billion, still in their reserves.

Bitcoin’s Minimal Seller Impact

Nevertheless, the adoption rate of Bitcoin is very high based on the mentioned figures, yet, it has a market capitalization of $1.1 trillion, which puts such activities in a rather small perspective. The inflow from Mt. Gox and the German government is considered as “drop in the ocean,” and only short and weak effects on seller pressure.

According to a recent report data, the inflows to spot exchanges have seen a significant increase crossing the 5,000 BTC mark. This is the largest net flow since April 25, 2024, with 4,623 BTC moved in a single-block transfer. The historical analysis shows that similar large inflows usually lead to sales as evidenced by on-chain data.

Several on-chain variables indicate that BTC is at present in a local decline zone. The NVT Golden Cross that is considered a very important indicator also supports this trend. Similar to this, in January 2024, the price of BTC was around $39,000. Although identifying a specific dip level remains rather challenging, it is possible to observe that BTC is swimming in a rather stable pool.

AD 4nXfbTwVtN CuUHNYpH6LYcJYdc3sb6cWSQYHy3xeDKsOP

With Mt. Gox and the German government’s possible sale, their combined effect is still insignificant to the whole BTC market. Despite this pressure, it is necessary to recall the strength and imperativeness of BTC and not surrender to pushovers.

Despite the fact that 4,623 Bitcoins were dumped into the spot exchanges in a single block, the rest of the market paints a picture of a temporary effect on seller pressure. These fluctuations have not been a problem for BTC and its market structure showing that the cryptocurrency is stable and has a bright future ahead of it.

Bitcoin Market Sees $2.4B Shift: Short-Term Speculators Vs. Long-Term Holders

by

Cryptocurrency analysis platform CryptoQuant has identified a potential trend unfolding in the Bitcoin market. In the recent X post, the platform pointed out that about $2.4 billion worth of Bitcoin, ranging from 3 to 6 months old, has moved within the BTC network during the bear market. This large shift has attracted the attention of the analysts as well as the investors, and has led to the debates on the possible reasons for the same.

AD 4nXeNFM7ZcNCBVzbiUdcMgwb9v6XO7Jz 7kg 0QGw1 y DZfNmCIo4CZs UU9qovZK4S8ED9vhsPWTjgtT9RKIBwNS

Based on CryptoQuant data, these outflows are likely to be made by those who bought Bitcoins this year. These investors might have been wagering on the approval of Bitcoin ETFs as well as the upcoming halving of the mining reward and the subsequent possible price increases. Although, the current market conditions may have probably forced these speculators to take a second look at their bets thus creating a sell off pressure.

Bitcoin Investors Shift

Peculiarly, these entities are considered “long-term” holders, but their behavior in the recent months has been rather similar to that of short-term investors. As they have entered the market in the early 2023, they are leaving the market earlier than the traditional long term investors hence change in investment strategy. Such behavior further supports the understanding that investors’ categorization within the cryptocurrency market is by no means set in stone.

On the flip side, long term holders of Bitcoins with coins older than one year have been very calm. Based on CryptoQuant, data, these real long-term holders did not display signs of spending in the recent market turmoil. This could be an indication that investors are still confident with the long-term value proposition of Bitcoin and this may help stabilize the market.

AD 4nXfwfVeNOjfX7hla4QJ1t9T6kZ2B04IEdxBDJxvK7fisSTHCyMhPuX4N Iv64nghVvLCZeVQ3lD xG363BwRG7nb4VQMk0fau Nr9IA1IH33itpf558I2Yh9T1zJlaIBkP6njtWGsFbUlRJeYssgOVqmIZE?key=gpHvB6fUvW80YAggRv9zFg

The behaviours exhibited by these two groups of investors make an interesting comparison to the psyche of the Bitcoin market. While new comers appear to be influenced by short term occurrences and sentiment, the long term investors remain focused. This split may have significant consequences for the further development of Bitcoin’s price and trends.

Experts are keen to see how the rest of the market is going to respond to this $2. 4 billion shift. Speculations are made on whether the exit of the recent investors will cause more fluctuations in the market or whether the trust of the long term holders would come to the rescue of the market. The interactions between these investor categories can greatly affect Bitcoin’s evolution in the next few months.

Bitcoin Market Forecast: Analysts Highlight Potential Trends and Key Price Levels

by

Popular Crypto analyst, Altcoin Sherpa has recently shared his thoughts on the current state of the Bitcoin market. According to Sherpa the market conditions in May 2021 and July 2024 have some interesting parallels. He stated that although he does not anticipate the market to behave exactly like it has done in the past, some features define such periods.

In May 2021, a drastic sell-off from $60,000 to $30,000 in a single swift move was observed mainly due to liquidations. On the other hand, the current market’s liquidation activity has not been very active, which points to a different market situation this time.

Sherpa’s analysis suggests a guarded prognosis; Bitcoin may not return to the $50,000 level soon. Instead, he stresses watching if the current price zone is holding, which means the stabilization may be possible. This is a more conservative approach which couldbe attributed to a wait and see strategy and the next move of Bitcoin will depend greatly on how the current support levels hold up.

Bitcoin’s $70K Short Risk

Crypto Rover, another popular analyst in the cryptocurrency space, shared a different view. Rover described a possibility of a short liquidation rush if Bitcoin hits $70k. From Rover’s analysis, this price level can cause more than $12 billion worth of Bitcoin short positions to be liquidated, which would cause a lot of market volatility.

This expectation of such a large scale liquidation event shows that the Bitcoin market remains very sensitive to large price swings. If Bitcoin is to reach $70,000, the traders and investors may experience a huge move due to the liquidation of short positions.

The analysis of the experts fosters the overall perception of today’s BTC environment. While Sherpa focuses on the need to be rather conservative when it comes to the current price levels, Rover underlines the possibility of dramatic market shift at the higher price levels.

Altogether, the analyses reveal what may be the most likely directions which BTC may take in the near future. The analysts present a variety of opinions and approaches of traders in the cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin Faces Decline, Analyst Predicts Imminent Gap Fill: Report

by

In a recent YouTube video, Crypto Rover, a prominent crypto analyst has explained that the price of Bitcoin is going through a slight decline. His technical assessment was based on the current price action and he believes that Bitcoin is about to complete a gap that he had predicted earlier. 

The recent volatility in the price of Bitcoin has attracted the interest of many traders and analysts. The market is once again indicating a bearish trend on Monday morning, with the price of BTC touching the $60,000 mark, a level that has attracted a lot of interest among enthusiasts and analysts. Rover explains that the market is almost at this important mark, meaning changes are possible in the near future.

Rover focused on the main levels of support that Bitcoin is in the process of testing at the moment. These levels have offered considerable support in the past and their penetration may cause issues to Bitcoin’s short-term outlook. Given that cryptocurrency trading is just past these critical points, the market is in a position that could result in a massive price action either on the bull or the bear side.

Bitcoin Buy Orders And Market Outlook

As for the market strategy, Rover has set a series of buy orders from $56,000 to $57,000. This range comprises crucial liquid zones that used to be key in the market before. If the market were to go down to these levels Rover intends to go out and buy more stock, which affirms his short-term optimism.

Furthermore, Rover explained general tendencies in the market and possible circumstances that may impact the Bitcoin price. He said although the current market is bearish and in the consolidation phase, the market is capable of trending higher should some levels be broken. This is in consonance with his note of a mild bullish trend on the shorter time frames, which gives a more precise outlook of the market.

The fluctuations of inflows and outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, as well as the neutral position of funding rates do not make the situation any easier. In Rover’s view, such factors lead to a rather well-ordered but still rather cautious market mentality. Thus, because the liquidity is still above the current market prices, Rover expects a short squeeze that may drive Bitcoin to much higher levels.

As the cryptocurrency market grows, Rover’s insights offer a more comprehensive view of Bitcoin’s possible future trends. Both traders and investors are closely observing these events as the trading activity in July is starting, which may lead to a change in the cryptocurrency market.
