Futures Market Selling Pressure Dominates Bitcoin's Recent Decline

The recent decline in Bitcoin's price can be attributed to several factors, but one stood out as the primary cause: heightened selling pressure in the futures market.

According to CW, a market expert at CryptoQuant, derivatives traders were responsible for driving down prices due to increased short positions and changes in financing rates. This imbalance between buying and selling volumes contributed to a difficult environment for bulls, with every attempt at recovery met with intensified sell-side pressure.

Large investors, known as 'whales,' have been quietly accumulating coins from exchanges, potentially signaling an early accumulation trend. Over the past 30 days, these whales have absorbed approximately 270,000 BTC, resulting in a 7-year low for exchange reserves.
