Bitcoin Faces Selling Pressure and Declining Trading Volumes
- Short-Term Selling Pressure: Since April 15, 150,000 BTC have been sent to exchanges, indicating that short-term holders are accelerating profit-taking, which has prevented Bitcoin from breaking through the critical $80,000 resistance level, reflecting weakened market confidence in Bitcoin.
- Significant Drop in Trading Volumes: Bitcoin's daily transaction volumes have fallen to levels seen during the market lull in September 2023, with Binance, Gate.io, and OKX losing $25 billion, $13 billion, and $6 billion in volume respectively over the past month, indicating a decline in investor interest.
- Changes in Liquidation Pressure: As of April 30, the liquidation pressure indicator turned positive at +28.7, signaling a shift in market dynamics; however, despite $604 million in positions being liquidated, the overall trend remains negative, suggesting that long-term liquidations continue to impact Bitcoin's price.
- Decrease in Open Interest: In the past 10 days, between 8,000 and 9,000 BTC in leveraged positions have exited the market, with open interest declining from over 300,000 BTC to around 292,000 BTC, and analysts note that without a clear increase in open interest and spot market volumes, Bitcoin's price is expected to consolidate around the $77,000 resistance zone.
