The bitcoin price pulled back after an unsuccessful attempt to hold above $97,000. Trading is now around $95,500, which increases the chances of a larger correction toward $93,000. Ether also came under pressure and is now trading around $3,300, leaving the possibility of further growth if there is a reason for it.
Meanwhile, according to CryptoQuant data, short-term holders sold 41,800 BTC over the past 24 hours, roughly $4 billion. This indicates that traders are taking profits after the rapid rise earlier this week.
Such large profit-taking by short-term holders is already putting pressure on bitcoin's price. The natural question arises: is this merely a temporary correction after the sharp rise, or a harbinger of a deeper decline? To answer this, several factors must be considered. First, the macroeconomic backdrop remains uncertain, including the Federal Reserve's restrictive policy stance. Second, long-term holders' activity also plays an important role. If they continue to accumulate bitcoin, this could mitigate the negative impact of short-term selling. Third, the lack of systematic inflows of new money into spot ETFs also signals the caution that new market participants are currently exercising.
One cannot rule out the psychological factor. FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and the fear of missing potential profits, which fueled bitcoin's rise this week, may turn into panic and a desire to avoid losses, triggering another wave of selling.
Regarding the intraday strategy for the crypto market, I will continue to act on large pullbacks in bitcoin and ether, expecting the long-term bull market to continue.
