The Whale Screener tool recorded transfers of more than $400 million in BTC from the wallets of large investors, with a similar movement of $500 million already taking place in January. Analyst Amr Taha points out that such transfers usually signal preparation for a sale or an increase in liquidity for asset distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trader-magazine.com\/news\/google-musi-sdilet-data-se-svymi-souperi-rozhodl-soud-v-usa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Data<\/a> also shows that the market has entered a distribution phase, with long-term holders realizing profits. Since the beginning of January, they have sold approximately 68,650 BTC, and their net position change remains negative. <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto-globe.com\/en\/after-octobers-crash-small-investors-abandoned-altcoins-and-returned-to-btc-and-eth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Investors<\/a> are taking advantage of price increases to lock in profits, including Bitcoin&#8217;s recent high of around $97,000. Increased selling pressure thus increases the risk of a decline to the $80,000 level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Read also:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crypto-globe.com\/en\/ibit-investors-are-losing-money-bitcoin-sell-off-wipes-out-average-gains\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IBIT investors are losing money<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin under pressure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technical analysis shows that breaking through the $90,000 mark has weakened the bullish scenario. At the time of writing, BTC\/USD was trading around $88,000, with the nearest support at $87,300, which corresponds to the 100-week moving average. Below that is a strong psychological zone between $84,000 and $86,000, where the price was trading at the end of November and where analysts expect a possible rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MN Capital founder Michael van de Poppe notes that geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty are keeping <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto-globe.com\/en\/interest-in-bitcoin-is-waning-whales-are-losing-out\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Bitcoin<\/a> in a lower trading range. According to him, the four-hour RSI indicator is at similarly oversold levels as during the previous decline to $80,000, which may support a technical rebound in the short term. <strong>However, this is not a confirmation of a trend reversal \u2014 further developments will depend on trading volume and investor reaction to global economic news.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Don\u2019t miss out:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crypto-globe.com\/en\/fx-junction-social-trading-that-connects-traders-and-profits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>FX Junction<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin fell below $90,000 during Tuesday&#8217;s trading session in New York.
