Bitcoin (BTC)<\/strong> has lost 6% of its value<\/strong> within eight days after reaching new all-time highs (ATH)<\/strong>. While recent technical signals point to increased market uncertainty<\/strong>, a short-term drop followed by a recovery in whale activity<\/strong> has sparked expectations that some large investors might be returning to accumulation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as the Ichimoku Cloud<\/strong> shows weakness and BTC<\/strong> continues to trade below critical support levels<\/strong>, bearish indicators<\/strong> are increasing. With the price hovering just above $104,584<\/strong>, the threat of another death cross<\/strong> and deeper downside potential<\/strong> remains unless bulls can gain momentum above resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whale Numbers on the Rise Again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The number of Bitcoin whales<\/strong> (wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC) dropped to 2,002<\/strong> earlier this week but has slightly rebounded to 2,006<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This short decline followed a sharper drop from 2,021<\/strong> on May 25<\/strong>, marking a notable short-term reduction among large holders. However, the recovery may suggest that some whales are resuming accumulation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the fluctuation is minor, such changes are closely monitored as they often signal shifts in market sentiment<\/strong> or price action<\/strong>. Tracking whale behavior is crucial due to its substantial impact on Bitcoin\u2019s liquidity and volatility<\/strong>. A decrease in whale numbers typically reflects profit-taking<\/strong> or distribution<\/strong>, which can signal market cooling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, as observed now, stabilization or an increase<\/strong> can ease investor concerns and support the price at higher levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rebound in large holder numbers after a sharp decline may indicate renewed confidence<\/strong> among key players, potentially reducing sell pressure<\/strong> and helping Bitcoin<\/a><\/em><\/strong> maintain its current range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical Indicators Are Bearish, BTC Struggles Below Key Levels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Ichimoku Cloud<\/strong> chart for Bitcoin<\/strong> displays a short-term bearish structure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price is currently located below the Kumo (cloud)<\/strong>, indicating that BTC is trading in a weak zone based on historical and projected momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future cloud<\/strong> is red, suggesting the near-term trend will remain bearish<\/strong>, unless a bullish reversal<\/strong> breaks above the upper limit. The Tenkan-sen (blue line)<\/strong> is below the Kijun-sen (red line)<\/strong>, confirming short-term downward momentum<\/strong>. Both lines slope downward, adding further bearish signals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chikou Span (green lagging line)<\/strong> sits below both the price and the cloud, reinforcing the lack of bullish confirmation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future cloud is narrowing<\/strong>, pointing to potential price stagnation<\/strong> or equilibrium. For a true bullish shift<\/strong>, the price needs to break above the cloud and flip the future Kumo from red to green<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin Faces Potential Death Cross<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin<\/strong> recently experienced a death cross<\/strong>, and technical indicators suggest another may be approaching. The price is currently trading just above critical support at $104,584<\/strong>, which has acted as a short-term floor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this support fails, the next downside targets<\/strong> are $102,135<\/strong> and potentially as low as $100,694<\/strong> if selling pressure increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presence of consecutive death crosses<\/strong>, combined with weakening price action near these levels, increases the likelihood of a deeper correction<\/strong> in the short term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the upside, if Bitcoin<\/strong> manages to build strong momentum and initiate a rebound<\/strong>, it could retest the $106,726 resistance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A breakout above this level could trigger a sharper rally toward $110,728<\/strong>, with the possibility of reaching $112,000<\/strong> if the upward trend accelerates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
