After recently achieving a new record high of $122,838, Bitcoin is currently facing increased selling activity. This surge to a fresh peak occurred shortly after the United States simplified its regulatory framework to encourage broader acceptance of
Bitcoin and other digital currencies. Analysis of the Bitcoin Whale Position Sentiment indicator reveals a change in market sentiment, with selling becoming more dominant, reaching a value of 0.75. This is corroborated by the Cumulative Volume
Delta (CVD), which also points to significant selling pressure, alongside a decrease in Open Interest.

Further confirmation of this selling trend comes from the Buy/Sell Pressure indicator, which shows increased selling pressure at 0.6, while buying activity is diminishing and nearing negative territory. The delta between buying and selling pressure stands at roughly 5, a decline from a high near 40 observed in recent days. Market observers view this shift as a natural market correction following the achievement of new highs, as institutional investors and other participants capitalize on profits.

The current wave of selling pressure is also fueled by the actions of long-dormant whales who initially acquired Bitcoin during the early days of Satoshi Nakamoto. Data provided by Onchain Lens indicates that a whale, who moved 80,000 BTC several weeks ago, has reappeared and transferred 9,000 BTC, valued at approximately $1.06 billion, to

This suggests that over-the-counter (OTC) trading platforms are being utilized as channels for converting Bitcoin to fiat currency, owing to their rapid transaction speeds and low price slippage.

Looking forward, the Aggregated Liquidation Levels Heatmap highlights potential support levels where Bitcoin's price may find stability as the excitement surrounding the recent all-time high subsides. As Bitcoin undergoes this corrective phase, key support zones are identified at $115,000 and $108,000. Should the price decline to these levels, renewed buying interest could potentially drive the price upward. These zones signify areas where traders anticipate a possible trend reversal and continuation. Furthermore, a greater concentration of liquidity is observed in the $143,000 to $146,000 range, indicating that once Bitcoin recovers, potential upward targets could be above the $140,000 mark.
