Bitcoin (BTC) continued its downward trend from early August, dropping over 2% to approximately $63,981 before moving upwards again. This downward movement is part of a broader trend affecting the entire crypto market, including altcoins, pulling the total market value to approximately $2.39 trillion. Over $245 million, primarily in long positions, was liquidated in the crypto derivatives market in the last 24 hours, leaving investors wondering what lies ahead.
High Whale Activity in Bitcoin
Despite the downward trend, Bitcoin continues to see significant on-chain activity, especially from whales. This increased activity is partly due to rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which are expected to devalue fiat currencies over time. As a result, investors are increasingly turning to cryptocurrencies as a hedge against global economic uncertainties.
Recent market data shows a net cash inflow of approximately $50.64 million into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs on Thursday. Additionally, MicroStrategy plans to raise $2 billion to purchase more Bitcoin units, reaffirming its commitment to its Bitcoin strategy. This institutional interest indicates continued confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential despite short-term price fluctuations.
Liquidation Wave in the Crypto Market and Future Predictions for Bitcoin
CryptoQuant data suggests that the recent decline in the crypto market could lead to a consolidation phase in the coming months. This expected consolidation period could be seen as a precursor to a bullish breakout that may push Bitcoin to all-time highs.
Technical analysis also supports this outlook, indicating that the price of the largest cryptocurrency could fall between $48,000 and $53,000 in the coming weeks before a significant upward movement. Meanwhile, the upcoming U.S. presidential elections and anticipated interest rate cuts in the U.S. are expected to foster more bullish sentiment in the crypto market. These monetary policy adjustments could provide the necessary catalyst for a new upward trend in Bitcoin and altcoins.
