- Bitcoin has experienced liquidation pressure throughout the past day that wiped out any gains from the ‘Elon Musk’ bombshell a few days ago.
- The selling pressure seen comes from a combination of spot and derivatives, and investors generally avoid risk.
- It is not known what could be the cause, but it can be a combination of technical weakness and turmoil within the traditional market.
- An analyst is now signaling that there is a strong possibility that a further decline is imminent for the entire market.
- He indicates that the cryptocurrency’s January low is the next level he’s watching closely, with a rebound here potentially allowing for a massive rise.
Bitcoin has seen insane price action in recent days. It all started with Elon Musk’s endorsement of BTC, which catalyzed a massive bombshell towards $ 40,000 that has been wiped out completely in recent days.
This “FOMO” induced pump appears to provide exit liquidity to exiting holders as it has been sold aggressively.
One trader thinks this is a sign of an impending decline as he is now targeting the cryptocurrency’s January low as a near-term goal.

However, the selling pressure at those highs was significant, causing a massive pullback that has since erased all gains that have come from Musk’s backing.

“The bears have a clear pass from here in my opinion. Easy to turn around if it’s wrong, ”he pointed out gravely, pointing to the table below.

Despite this sentiment, there appears to be a strong institutional supply of around $ 30,000 as the crypto rebounds whenever that level is reached.
As such, staying above $ 30,000 could give Bitcoin significant room for improvement in the days and weeks to come.
