Bitcoin Panic Selling Accelerates as Price Drops
Bitcoin investors who bought at its all-time high of $109,000 in January are now panic-selling as prices decline, according to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode.
The firm warned that continued selling pressure could push Bitcoin’s price down to $70,000.
Glassnode claimed that recent sell-offs from top buyers have led to “intense loss realization and a moderate capitulation event.”
This trend is evident in the short-term holder realized price—an average purchase price for those who have held Bitcoin for less than 155 days.
The firm also pointed out that short-term holders are “deeply underwater” between the $71,300 and $91,900 price levels, making $70,000 a possible bottom if the selling pressure continues.
“The probability of forming a temporary floor in this zone is meaningful, at least in the near term,” Glassnode added.
