Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows BTC/USD clawing back more than half its March 5 losses.


That day saw Bitcoin finally reclaim its all-time highs from November 2021, but whales were lying in wait for late longs on over-leveraged markets.


“There aren’t less people wanting to own bitcoin after this flush,” popular Bitcoin personality Hodlonaut wrote in part of commentary on X (formerly Twitter).“This was a case of big whales moving the market like a wave, sending thousands of over-leveraged or under-informed small fish into their mouths.”Crypto liquidations (screenshot).

Per data from monitoring resource CoinGlass, the drop, which bottomed near $59,300 on Bitstamp, claimed $1.17 billion in cross-crypto liquidations. The majority of these were longs.


Examining market structure, however, a cathartic effect is visible — funding rates across exchanges have seen a modest reset from levels that observers argued were unsustainable.BTC funding rates (screenshot). Source: CoinGlass

On the topic of trader behavior, meanwhile, trading resource Material Indicators is showing whales potentially shifting expectations of what is to come.

A block of bid liquidity on largest global exchange Binance has headed higher, providing what potentially cushioned the correction from $69,000.


“On Feb 28th whales moved $54M in BTC USDT bid liquidity on @binance from the $36k - $38k range and turned it into a buy wall at $52k. FireCharts shows that today they moved more than half ($27M) of that buy wall and converted it into a bid ladder that climbs from $60k - $65k,” Material Indicators wrote in part of accompanying comments.“Too early to tell if this will be the extent of the pullback (for now), but it"s clear that a large entity either has concern that price won"t dip to $52k, or doesn"t want to allow price to go that low.”BTC/USDT order book liquidity for Binance.

Elsewhere, a popular comparison to BTC price behavior in late 2020 — when previous all-time highs were broken — continues to circulate.


Then, BTC/USD also saw a snap retracement, spending around two weeks below the new highs before finally breaking out.Source: https://twitter.com/smilinglllama/status/1765111504192282915
