Bitcoin Price Drops 13% After Peak, Potential Rebound Looms Amid Investor Accumulation and Bullish Patterns
  • Bitcoin's price recently experienced a significant drop of 13% after reaching an all-time high of $108,250 earlier this week, signaling a local correction.

  • Historically, Bitcoin has shown a tendency to undergo sharp pullbacks after hitting major resistance levels, with notable corrections of 84% in December 2017 and 55% in April 2021.

  • Despite this recent downturn, Bitcoin's fundamentals remain robust, highlighted by a decrease in mining output and a reduction in Bitcoin held on exchanges, which could indicate a potential rebound.

  • In the midst of market fluctuations, large holders, known as whales, are actively accumulating more Bitcoin, with MicroStrategy notably increasing its holdings to over 439,000 BTC.

  • The growing interest in Bitcoin is further evidenced by spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have attracted over $34 billion in assets, particularly from institutional investors.

  • As the U.S. public debt surpasses $36.4 trillion, the idea of establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve is gaining traction, with suggestions from prominent figures like Donald Trump.

  • On a technical level, Bitcoin's price has formed bullish patterns, including a cup-and-handle formation, suggesting a target price of $122,000 based on the depth of the cup.

  • Currently, Bitcoin's MVRV-Z score is lower than during previous historical corrections, indicating a potential for price recovery as panic selling begins to subside.
