According to a CryptoQuant report, Bitcoin is facing "short-term selling pressure" after rebounding above $76,000. Data shows a significant increase in Bitcoin inflows to exchanges during Tuesday's price rally, with hourly inflows reaching as high as 11,000 BTC, the highest level since December of last year. CryptoQuant points out that the increase in the size and speed of exchange inflows has historically been considered a significant warning sign of short-term selling pressure, indicating that some holders are transferring assets to exchanges in preparation for sale. Meanwhile, the average deposit size rose to 2.25 BTC, a new high since July 2024, approaching levels seen before the market peak in January of this year. In terms of price action, TradingView data shows that Bitcoin touched $76,052 on Coinbase, a new high since early February. However, the report suggests that as the price approaches the realized price of $76,800, this level may become the upper limit of the rebound, as investors nearing break-even may be inclined to sell, thus limiting further upside potential. Furthermore, profit-taking is still in its early stages, with daily profits around $500 million, below the $1 billion threshold typically associated with a market top. If prices rise further to the $76,000 to $76,800 range, profits could expand, potentially intensifying selling pressure and increasing the probability of a pullback or consolidation. (Cointelegraph)
