Bitcoin experienced a highly volatile trading session yesterday, with prices swinging between $92,300 and $96,420 throughout the day. The cryptocurrency now hovers near the $93,000 mark, struggling to establish a clear direction in the short term. As market participants await decisive action, uncertainty looms over whether Bitcoin will sustain its bullish structure or face a deeper correction.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler recently shared valuable insights, highlighting a significant trend among short-term holders (STH). According to Adler, these investors continue to sell their coins at high-profit margins, capitalizing on Bitcoin’s recent upward momentum. While profit-taking is a natural part of market cycles, the lack of consistent demand to absorb this selling pressure could challenge Bitcoin’s price stability.


If demand fails to match the pace of active profit-taking, a local correction could occur, potentially leading to a decline in Bitcoin’s price. This delicate balance between profit-taking and market demand makes the coming days critical for determining Bitcoin’s next move. Will buyers step in to support the price, or will selling pressure lead to a deeper retrace? Investors and analysts are watching closely as Bitcoin navigates this pivotal moment. Bitcoin Demand Levels Responding


Bitcoin has faced days of intense volatility as it struggles to break above the $100,000 psychological barrier while holding firm above the $92,000 support. The market remains in a state of flux, with investors and analysts closely monitoring Bitcoin’s next move. Despite the uncertainty, Bitcoin’s resilience at these key levels highlights the ongoing tug-of-war between bullish and bearish forces.


Top analyst Axel Adler recently shared an insightful analysis on X, shedding light on the behavior of short-term holders (STHs). According to Adler, STHs are actively selling their coins at high profit margins, taking advantage of the recent price surges. While profit-taking is a normal part of market cycles, a lack of consistent demand to counter this selling pressure could lead to a local correction and a potential price decline.

However, in the event of a price drop, STHs are unlikely to continue selling their holdings, as selling at a loss in a bull market is often considered an unwise move. This dynamic could provide Bitcoin with the breathing room needed to stabilize at its key support levels, currently around the $90,000 mark.

If Bitcoin successfully holds above $90,000, a period of consolidation around this level could create the foundation for the next rally, potentially propelling BTC to new all-time highs. The coming days will be critical in determining whether Bitcoin continues its ascent or faces a temporary setback. BTC Holding Above $90K


Bitcoin is trading at $93,800 after enduring days of selling pressure and market uncertainty. Despite holding above key support at $92,000, the loss of both the 4-hour 200 moving average (MA) and exponential moving average (EMA) is a short-term bearish signal. These indicators, often viewed as gauges of market momentum, suggest that Bitcoin may need additional demand to regain upward traction.

For bulls to reclaim control and ignite a fresh rally, Bitcoin must recover these critical levels. The 4-hour 200 MA at $96,500 and the 4-hour 200 EMA at $98,500 are essential hurdles. Successfully pushing above these thresholds and securing a decisive close beyond them would confirm renewed bullish momentum.

If Bitcoin achieves this feat, the stage could be set for a massive rally into price discovery, breaking through psychological barriers like $100,000 and paving the way for new all-time highs. On the flip side, failing to reclaim these indicators might signal extended consolidation or a potential retest of lower support levels.
