Bitcoin\u2019s price has continued its gradual decline, now trading just above $81,000, marking a significant drop from its all-time high (ATH) in January. At the time of writing, BTC stands at $81,086, reflecting a 1.7% increase in the past 24 hours but still showing a 2.3% decrease over the past week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ongoing correction has raised concerns among investors about whether the asset will recover or enter a prolonged consolidation phase. While there is no definitive reason behind Bitcoin\u2019s ongoing price movements, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost has highlighted an interesting correlation<\/a> between BTC and Nasdaq<\/p>\n

According to Darkfost, Bitcoin is currently more correlated with the Nasdaq index than with the S&P 500, suggesting that macroeconomic factors and broader market sentiment<\/a> are playing a role in BTC\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

This correlation indicates that external market trends, such as changes in US equity markets and monetary policy decisions, might be influencing Bitcoin\u2019s price direction.<\/p>\n

Short-Term Holder SOPR and Bitcoin\u2019s Market Cycle<\/h2>\n

Amid Bitcoin\u2019s price fluctuations, CryptoQuant analyst Kripto Mevsimi has examined<\/a> the Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) EMA (155), which provides insights into market cycles and investor behavior.<\/p>\n

According to Mevsimi, SOPR EMA (155) recently peaked and is now declining, signaling that short-term holders are realizing fewer profits. This trend could indicate that the market is entering a consolidation phase.<\/p>\n

The analyst further explained that if SOPR approaches 1 and holds as support, it may signal a healthy market reset before the next potential uptrend. However, if SOPR drops below 1, it could indicate increased selling pressure, which may lead to further market weakness<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mevsimi emphasized that for Bitcoin\u2019s bullish trend, which began in early 2023, to continue, SOPR should stabilize around 1 and then trend upward again. Failure to hold this level may suggest a shift in market dynamics, putting Bitcoin\u2019s long-term growth trajectory<\/a> into question.<\/p>\n

Whale Accumulation Continues Amid Market Correction<\/h2>\n

While short-term price action remains uncertain, another CryptoQuant analyst, caueconomy, has highlighted<\/a> a significant accumulation trend among large Bitcoin holders. Over the last 30 days, Bitcoin whales have added over 65,000 BTC to their holdings, reflecting strong buying pressure from major network participants.<\/p>\n

Caueconomy noted that this accumulation is occurring despite the broader market correction, suggesting that whales are absorbing supply rather than selling off their holdings.<\/p>\n

This behavior contrasts with miners and exchanges, which often offload BTC to maintain liquidity. If the current accumulation pattern<\/a> continues for several more weeks, it could resemble the consistent buying pressure seen between November and December, which helped Bitcoin rally in late 2023.<\/p>\n
