The cryptocurrency market experienced a dip on [Date], with major coins like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) trading lower despite an uptick in whale activity. While large transactions saw a modest increase, other indicators painted a less optimistic picture.
According to data from IntoTheBlock, large transaction volume surged by 12.5%, suggesting whales are still active in the market. However, daily active addresses fell by 6.3%, indicating a potential decline in overall user activity. Additionally, transactions exceeding $100,000 dropped from 8,210 to 8,092 in a single day, highlighting a slight decrease in large-scale transactions. Exchange netflows also saw a significant decline, dropping by 38.6%, potentially suggesting investors are holding onto their assets.
The recent downturn led to a wave of liquidations, with Coinglass reporting 80,992 traders liquidated in the past 24 hours, resulting in a total of $236.73 million in losses. This highlights the volatility of the crypto market and underscores the risks associated with leveraged trading.
Despite the downward pressure, some analysts remain bullish on Bitcoin’s prospects. The Moon, an industry expert, observed Bitcoin briefly dipping to retest the ascending support, predicting a potential surge towards $70,000 if the 4-hour candle closes bullish. BloFin partner Justin Bennett identified a weekend range for Bitcoin, anticipating a period of consolidation before potential price movement.
Meanwhile, CryptoQuant highlighted the low level of retail Bitcoin transfer activity, which historically precedes price rallies. On Sep. 21, daily transfers by retail investors hit $326 million, marking the lowest level since at least 2020. This suggests that retail investors are accumulating Bitcoin, potentially setting the stage for a future price increase.
Crypto trader Poseidon expressed confidence in Bitcoin’s future, forecasting a climb to $80,000 before 2025. This optimism underscores the belief in Bitcoin’s long-term growth potential and the influence of institutional adoption.
