Bitcoin Price Drops Over 6% to Near $93K with Low Trading Activity

  • Bitcoin's network activity has reached its lowest since November 2024, with approximately 667,100 active addresses.
  • Large transactions on the Bitcoin network have fallen by about 51% in the past month.
  • A net cash outflow of $149 million occurred in US spot BTC ETFs last Friday, primarily involving BlackRock’s IBIT.
  • The supply of Bitcoin on centralized exchanges rose by 2,729 in 24 hours, totaling around 2.19 million.
  • BTC futures open interest dropped by $6 billion to around $60 billion.

Market Analysis

Trader Peter Brandt noted a head and shoulders pattern forming after hitting resistance near $100K. A consistent drop below $92K could confirm this reversal, potentially leading to prices between $75K and $77.5K. However, he also suggested a possible bear trap, indicating a rebound might occur around $92K, positioning Bitcoin for a potential rally to $125K to $150K in the latter half of 2025.
