Bitcoin Remains Above $109K as Long-Term Holders Increase Accumulation

Bitcoin is currently trading at $109,874, reflecting a 2.3% daily increase after a modest correction from its recent all-time high above $111,000. Despite market volatility, there is ongoing bullish sentiment among traders.

High Leverage Triggers Liquidations

  • Over-leveraged traders faced significant liquidations during the price drop below $111,000.
  • The first wave of liquidations near $110,900 resulted in over $97 million lost in long positions.
  • A second wave occurred around $109,000, wiping out an additional $88 million.
  • Cascading margin calls intensified sell pressure during these corrections.

Long-term holders (LTHs) remained active and seized the opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin during this volatility.

Long-Term Holders Accumulate

  • LTH realized cap surged past $28 billion, not seen since April.
  • Accumulation by LTHs during liquidations suggests confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value.
  • This behavior historically precedes upward price expansions as selling pressure decreases.
  • The reset of leveraged positions may set the stage for another breakout attempt beyond previous highs.
