BTC Price Declines Signal "Overheated Bull Phase" Before Bitcoin Halving
BTC price fell 10% last week after surpassing the $30,000 psychological level, which signals the start of the “overheated bull phase” as bulls takeover bears. The recent BTC price rally from $20,000 was actually supported by Bitcoin entering the Bull Market cycle in January and crossing the key 200-weekly moving average (WMA) in March.
The recent declines in the Bitcoin price are due to profit-taking by traders in the perpetual futures markets, with open interest falling. The “long squeeze” caused massive liquidations, giving investors an opportunity to “buy the dip.” Traders also took profits as the ETH price jumped over $2,000 after the Shanghai upgrade on April 12 and Binance opened Ethereum withdrawals on April 19.
Traders have again started opening long positions and spending activity of whales remains higher. Typically, price rallies occur during whale spending activity with at least 20% of total coins being moved, but Spent Output Value Bands indicate whale spending activity rose above 40%. In fact, whales with over 10k BTC had a spending activity of 25%, the first time since the FTX fallout. This coincides with many dormant whales waking up after 8–10 years.
