Bitcoin Price Falls Below $68K Again as Selling Pressure Increases

The price of Bitcoin has slipped back below the $70k level after falling roughly 5% over the past two days. The decline returned the asset to its broader monthly trading range as resistance continued to form near the $68,000 mark.

Cryptoquant data shows that short term holders accelerated profit-taking after Bitcoin’s earlier rally above $74,000. Analysts tracking blockchain activity reported that more than 27,000 BTC moved to exchanges from wallets belonging to short-term investors within a 24-hour period.

These investors largely accumulated their positions between one week and one month earlier, with an average realized price close to $68,000.

Futures and Spot Markets Show Strong Selling Pressure

Trading indicators from both spot and derivatives markets also pointed to increased selling. Data highlighted a negative shift in cumulative volume delta across exchanges, signaling that sell orders were outweighing buying activity.Charts on TradingView show that the decline below $70,000 occurred while bid liquidity in the market weakened.

Weak Demand From U.S. Traders Limits Price Momentum

Demand from U.S.-based traders also cooled during the latest rally. The Coinbase Premium Index briefly rose during Bitcoin’s move toward the $73,000–$74,000 range but quickly turned negative as prices retreated.

Analysts say the $67,000 to $68,000 range could act as a near-term support zone, while deeper liquidity may appear closer to $66,500 if selling pressure continues.
