Bitcoin's Price Dives Below $70K Amid Market Resistance

Bitcoin's recent drop to below $70,000 has raised questions about the cryptocurrency's short-term trend. Market data suggests that resistance near this level is a major factor limiting Bitcoin's price increase. According to CryptoQuant, over 27,000 BTC in profit were moved from short-term holder wallets to exchanges over the past 24 hours.

The transfer of profits to exchanges is not a new phenomenon and has occurred before during previous rallies. However, it does indicate that short-term holders are taking their gains and contributing to the selling pressure on the market.

Futures data also shows aggressive selling activity, with both spot and perpetual futures markets recently flipping negative on the cumulative volume delta (CVD) indicator. A negative CVD reading indicates dominant selling pressure.
