Bitcoin has been a wild ride for investors lately, with the world’s
most valuable cryptocurrency breaking through the $29,000 mark,
only to be swiftly rejected. However, on-chain data is now
revealing a concerning outlook for the future of Bitcoin. It seems
that some traders and whales are cashing in following weeks of
gains, which has sparked fears of an imminent decline. This
development has left many investors concerned, wondering whether
this is just a temporary pullback or the start of a larger
correction. CoinMarketCap shows the current price of Bitcoin (BTC)
is $27,779.40, down 3.6% in the last 24 hours. Despite the recent
dip, Bitcoin’s 14-day increase is 10.1%, and the 30-day rally is
19.6%. This shows that Bitcoin’s overall trend is still bullish,
but the recent pullback has some investors concerned. Related

Selling In the past week, CryptoQuant’s Spent Output Profit Ratio
data has surged above 1, indicating that certain traders and whales
are cashing out after a period of steady gains. This can be seen in
the rising count of hefty transactions that are transferring
Bitcoin from exchanges to private wallets. This indicates
that some investors are taking their profits and transferring their
digital assets to cold storage or off-exchange wallets. #Bitcoin –

2023 $29,000 Breach A ‘Fakeout’ Bitcoin made a brief foray into the
$29,000 territory on Thursday, only to experience what market
participants have labeled a “fakeout.” This term is often used in
the world of technical analysis to describe a false breakout –
where Bitcoin’s price breaches a key level – only to swiftly
retreat below it. Essentially, the fleeting incursion past
the mark was an indication that the rally was not yet sustainable.
While this may have disappointed some investors who were hoping for
a sustained move above $29,000, it is important to remember that
Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset. It is not uncommon for the
price to experience sharp pullbacks after extended periods of
gains. BTC total market cap currently at $539 billion on the

The yellow dotted line indicates the beginning of 2023. Note the
volume – the past 5 days are the weakest this year. Last time
similar was observed in June 2022. Paradoxically, just before the
drop from 30k. pic.twitter.com/JKtEpYhP6G — Lukasz Wydra

Wydra, a prominent Bitcoin and crypto analyst, on Twitter
highlighted that the current trading volumes are at their lowest
for the year 2023. This is an ominous similarity to what occurred
in June 2022, when a similar lull preceded the drop from
$30,000. His message is clear: with the current state of
affairs, investors should keep their wits about them and keep a
close eye on market developments. -Featured image from
