The ongoing sell-off in the crypto ecosystem might be taking a breather as the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has finally formed support at the $61,100 mark. At the time of writing, the combined crypto market cap is down 0.55% to $2.56 trillion, and Bitcoin has pared off its losses. It is down by 1.83% to $61,113.37, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
Unusual trading volume impact
Over the trailing seven-day period, the price of Bitcoin has slipped by more than 7% in what marks one of its worst weekly performances this month. However, on-chain data pegs the trading volume at $42 billion, up 135.56% in a 24-hour period.
Yuri MolchanThis triple-digit surge underscores a growing but subtle bullish sentiment in the price of Bitcoin. While this positive sentiment is not showing yet, it is vital in printing a recovery from the current bearish onslaught. In recent times, the Bitcoin price has not traded as low as it currently is, with the spot ETF market providing the much-needed cushion up to now.
At the moment, the massive rally in Bitcoin trading volume is entirely retail-driven considering how spot BTC ETF products have continued to record outflows.
Revival trigger to watch
While Bitcoin is showcasing some forms of resilience, the sustained revival hinges mostly on external factors. While not many outside forces can trigger a Bitcoin bull ride, the potential approval of S-1 registration filings for a spot Ethereum ETF might do the trick.
Also, the ongoing recovery in the altcoin ecosystem might complement the revival in the near term. Ultimately, the Bitcoin price is poised to hit bottom, wherein the price will print the long-awaited rebound.
Arman ShirinyanThe major takeaway is that many Bitcoin whales and addresses are still in profit, and this will help keep the recovery in check when short-term holders start taking profits on revival.
