BTC Price Under Selling Pressure, Key Bitcoin Red Flags to Watch
Bitcoin faced significant selling pressure, experiencing a 3% decline to $35,000. The cryptocurrency is undergoing a notable retracement after reaching $37,000 last week, prompting caution among investors.
Key Bitcoin Red Flags to Watch
As reported, the recent selling pressure comes as Bitcoin whales have been cashing out on huge numbers over the last week. Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez stated that Bitcoin whales initiated profit-taking on November 3, capitalizing on the BTC price surge from $35,000 to almost $38,000. During this period, over 15 wallets, each containing more than 1,000 BTC, either sold or redistributed their holdings.
On the other hand, Ali Martinez also points out that the Bitcoin network has been slowing down. A surge in the price of BTC coupled with a slowdown in network growth raises concerns, signaling a potential lack of momentum to sustain the uptrend. This bearish divergence between BTC price and network growth serves as an on-chain sell signal that traders should take into consideration, he added.
With today’s price drop, Bitcoin has breached its crucial support at $36,400. The next support sits at $36,400 breaking which can lead to further price correction up to $30,200.

Positive Developments for BTC
The US CPI data shows that inflation has been easing giving equity markets a boost. Analysts predict that Bitcoin could follow the cue soon and could rally to $40,000 going ahead.
Popular analyst Michael van de Poppe said that Bitcoin is in search of support, and the scenario remains valid where a test in the range of $34.8-35.2K could provide additional strength toward the highs.

Scenario is still valid, in which a test around $34.8-35.2K could give further strength towards the highs.

On the other hand, the SEC is going to announce its decision on the approval of spot Bitcoin ETF by November 17. Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood notes an increase in the likelihood of spot Bitcoin ETF approval, citing engagements between the SEC, ARK, and BlackRock.
