Bitcoin continues to face downward pressure, currently trading just above $81,000—a significant decline from its all-time high in January. Despite a slight 1.7% uptick in the past 24 hours, BTC remains down approximately 2.3% on the week, raising investor concerns about the possibility of further declines or an extended consolidation phase.
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost has noted a strengthening correlation between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq index, indicating broader macroeconomic factors and market sentiment are increasingly influencing BTC's performance. Changes in U.S. equity markets and monetary policy appear to be playing a crucial role in determining Bitcoin’s price direction.
Analyzing the Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) EMA (155), analyst Kripto Mevsimi observed recent declines, suggesting short-term holders are taking fewer profits—a sign of potential market consolidation. Mevsimi highlighted that SOPR maintaining around 1 could represent a healthy reset, setting the stage for future upward momentum. However, a sustained drop below 1 could signal increased selling pressure, potentially triggering a deeper market correction.
Amid this uncertainty, CryptoQuant analyst caueconomy reports significant accumulation by Bitcoin whales, who have added over 65,000 BTC to their holdings in the past month. This accumulation, despite the broader correction, demonstrates robust underlying demand and buying strength among major market players. Continued whale accumulation may replicate the buying pressure that supported Bitcoin’s late-2023 rally.
Investors should closely monitor the SOPR indicator and whale activity, as these factors will likely play pivotal roles in determining Bitcoin’s short-to-medium-term trajectory.
