Bitcoin Whales Bet on Rebound Despite Bearish Market Conditions

A recent trend in the cryptocurrency market shows that even as the price of Bitcoin continues to fall, some large investors are increasing their bets on a rebound.

Garret Jin, a well-known whale, has added to his long position, bringing it to $94.4 million worth of BTC, according to Lookonchain data.

This move comes as the broader market faces significant pressure, with total long liquidations reaching $348 million and total liquidation at $366 million, according to CoinGlass.

Despite this, futures traders remain active in the derivatives market, although their order volume has decreased. The Derivatives Buy Sell Ratio has dropped to a two-week low of 0.9, indicating that sellers are currently dominant.

The negative index (-DI) for Bitcoin's momentum indicator jumped to a monthly high of 29, suggesting an extremely strong downtrend and increasing the likelihood of trend continuation. If pressure holds and futures whales show risk-off sentiment, Bitcoin could drop to $70,500. However, if excessive leverage is flushed out and the market cools down, BTC could see a healthy reset.
