Following a wave of selling pressure that pulled bitcoin (BTC) below $60,000 two weeks ago, analysts have highlighted on-chain data that signals possible seller exhaustion, which is further substantiated by a reprieve in macroeconomic conditions.<\/p>\n
According to analysts at crypto exchange Bitfinex, the market is witnessing<\/a> a transition into late-stage capitulation rather than a broader distribution phase. This translates to constant selling pressure among previous buyers of BTC, like exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and treasury companies.<\/p>\n Recent bitcoin buyers aggressively turned into sellers<\/a> after the asset\u2019s price fell below $75,000. Since then, demand for the cryptocurrency has been completely agnostic to price. These buyers are now realizing losses at an accelerating pace, as evidenced by the $1.35 billion in daily realized losses in June\u2019s first trading week.<\/p>\n As selling pressure persists, analysts added that the market is in a transitional phase that reflects a typical post-liquidation structure. This dynamic often appears once the primary wave of forced selling from distressed investor cohorts exhaust themselves.<\/p>\n Although current loss realization levels are enough to confirm deep bear conditions, they have not reached the intensity required to establish a definitive bottom. Market experts believe that demand levels will determine whether this consolidation transforms into a concrete support floor or acts as a temporary pause before a deeper plunge.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat the tape shows is seller exhaustion arriving at the same moment as a macro reprieve, which is a different condition from genuine demand. The price action that follows each behaves very differently, which leads us to believe that despite the short-term recovery, bulls face significant hurdles before an uptrend can form,\u201d analysts explained.<\/p>\n Looking back at the market\u2019s moves on June 5, Bitfinex\u2019s analysts believe crypto lows were a front-running of a global meltdown across risk assets. For the first time in six years, risk asset correlations broke down and commodities, equities, and yields all declined.<\/p>\n While most risk assets, including BTC, have recovered, dynamics intertwining inflation, energy markets, and monetary policy have dominated the U.S. macro environment. There is also some form of relief amid easing<\/a> geopolitical tensions, particularly signs of a potential US-Iran agreement. If the agreement holds, there could be a ripple effect that would affect macro dynamics that continue to shape digital markets.<\/p>\n Regardless of the outcome of the geopolitical situation, liquidity conditions remain a more important driver than traditional safe-haven narratives. So, demand remains bitcoin\u2019s biggest challenge for an upward rally.<\/p>\n The post Bitcoin Seller Exhaustion?
