Bitcoin experienced significant selling pressure after successfully breaking above the $100K mark, a psychological milestone that had investors buzzing with optimism. However, the celebration was short-lived as BTC failed to hold this critical level, dropping as low as $92,500 in less than three days. This sharp downturn has reignited concerns about the market’s stability and Bitcoin’s ability to sustain its upward momentum.

Axel Adler, a prominent CryptoQuant analyst, shared valuable insights into the recent market activity. He revealed that the largest deleveraging in the past week took place between January 6 and 7, when Bitcoin’s price fell from $102K to $100K due to liquidations. This wave of forced selling pushed prices lower, allowing bears to regain control and drive Bitcoin’s price down further to $92,500.


The current market conditions have left investors questioning Bitcoin’s next move. Will it stabilize and find support to mount another rally, or will the bearish momentum lead to a deeper correction? With the market sentiment teetering between fear and cautious optimism, all eyes remain on Bitcoin as it navigates this critical phase.  Bitcoin Regains Ground After Aggressive Sell-Off


Despite experiencing an aggressive drop that saw Bitcoin plummet to $92K, the cryptocurrency has managed to find key support at this critical level. In the past few hours, BTC has pushed above this threshold, climbing to $95K, offering a glimmer of hope for bullish investors. The ability to hold and rebound from this support level suggests potential resilience, but uncertainties remain.


Prominent CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler shared insightful data on X about the recent market dynamics. He noted that the largest deleveraging in the last week occurred between January 6 and 7, when Bitcoin’s price dropped from $102K to $100K due to a wave of liquidations. This liquidation event wiped out overleveraged positions and set the stage for bearish activity. Capitalizing on the chaos, bears opened shorts, further driving the price down to $92K.

Despite the recent recovery, Adler warns that the current 9K BTC reduction in open interest (OI) doesn’t provide a definitive signal of pressure easing in the market. This leaves Bitcoin’s next move uncertain, with investors closely watching how the price action unfolds in the coming days.

The recovery to $95K is a positive sign, but BTC must reclaim higher levels to confirm bullish momentum and stabilize the market. Until then, traders remain cautious as the potential for further volatility looms. BTC Holds Key Level: Bulls Eye Higher Ground


Bitcoin is trading at $95,000, holding above a critical support level and sitting just 2% below its 4-hour 200 EMA at $96,200. The 200 MA, another significant indicator, lies 3% away, adding further importance to Bitcoin’s current position. These technical levels are pivotal for assessing short-term market momentum and potential bullish recovery. BTC finding support above $92K | Source: BTCUSDT Chart on TradingView


For bulls to reclaim the uptrend, the $95K level must hold as a foundation for further upward movement. A decisive push to reclaim the $98K and $100K levels is crucial. These price points serve as key resistance levels that, once surpassed, could set the stage for a robust leg up, paving the way for Bitcoin to revisit its all-time highs.


Failing to hold above $95K could open the door to increased bearish pressure, potentially sending BTC into a deeper consolidation or even testing lower demand zones. However, holding the line at current levels and building momentum could restore investor confidence and create the conditions needed for a sustained rally.
