Before its recent rebound, the downturn in Bitcoin’s price was attributed to several factors that significantly hampered its performance. However, one of these factors stood out the most during the downtrend, and that was heightened selling pressure in the market.

Bitcoin Was Hampered By Selling Pressure
During the Bitcoin downside performance, speculations about the factors fueling this negative move swell across the community. However, CW, a market expert and verified author at the CryptoQuant platform, has shed light on the matter, attributing it to waning investors’ sentiment in the market.

In the report shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), CW highlighted that the recent decline in Bitcoin was largely led by the Futures Market, which is hovering in negative territory. Increased short positions, changes in financing rates, and elevated leverage all suggest that derivatives traders are mostly responsible for determining the direction of prices.

According to the expert, the net selling volume in the spot market was approximately half of what was recorded in buying volume. However, a massive wave of selling pressure unfolded in the futures market, causing BTC to return to its previous price. This imbalance caused the bulls to experience a difficult environment as a result of every attempt at recovery being met with increased sell-side intensity.

Bitcoin’s large investors and whales have also been caught up in this imbalance. These key investors continue to hold on to their spot BTC and liquidating high-leverage long bets due to the drop in the futures market. In addition to holding their spot BTC, the cohort is absorbing volume from retail investors who are steadily selling their positions out of fear.

Crypto usage is consolidating around two core areas: speculative trading and stablecoin payments, said Dan Romero, Stripe-backed blockchain Tempo's go-to market lead.

Tempo is leaning into payments, building a network for enterprises with compliance and control in focus.

Stablecoins are gaining traction in real-world use cases like remittances and global payouts, he said.

Miami Beach, FL — After years of experimentation, crypto today is boiling down to two core uses: trading and payments.

Speaking at a fireside chat at Consensus 2026 in Miami, Tempo’s go-to-market lead, Dan Romero, said the industry is settling into a "barbell" shape, with speculative trading like Hyperliquid's marketplace on one end and stablecoin-based payments gaining traction on the other.

Mastercard’s Maja Lapcevic, Crypto Council for Innovation’s Alison Mangiero and Clerisy’s Alexandra Wilkis Wilson told CoinDesk’s Consensus Miami conference Tuesday that bringing different voices into product, policy and hiring discussions can change the outcomes those discussions produce.

Lapcevic said an outside partner helped Mastercard think beyond crypto infrastructure and focus on making crypto “accessible, not complex,” including through cards linked to stablecoins for users in markets with limited access to traditional financial services.

Mangiero said CCI’s policy work on staking changed after builders of staking primitives joined the discussion, helping the group describe staking as a “technical service” rather than a financialized product.

Bitcoin eyes $83K as Trump pauses Strait of Hormuz military operation, Iran signals cooperation
Bitcoin climbed past $82,800 this morning as signs of de-escalation between the US and Iran boosted risk appetite, putting the asset within reach of $83,000.

The rally came after President Donald Trump said the US will temporarily halt its Strait of Hormuz escort mission, known as Project Freedom operation, following reported progress in negotiations with Iran.

Iran signaled that reopening the strait could be negotiated in stages, with early discussions focused on maritime access before other issues.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC Eyes $90K While Altcoins Continue to Struggle
Bitcoin price holds above key support as BTC dominance rises, putting pressure on altcoins and ETH/BTC pairs.Bitcoin traded near $81,359 on the 4 hour BTC/USD chart shared by Man of Bitcoin. The chart shows BTC moving inside a rising channel, while the short-term wave structure remains unclear.Man of Bitcoin said the key levels are well defined, even though the micro structure has not confirmed a clear path. The main support level sits at $74,917. As long as Bitcoin holds above that level, continuation without a deep pullback remains possibleThe chart also marks a highlighted support zone between $76,103 and $77,709, based on Fibonacci retracement levels. These levels include the 0.5 level near $77,709, the 0.618 level near $77,042, and the 0.786 level near $76,103.

However, Man of Bitcoin still expects a possible retrace into that support zone before stronger continuation. A pullback into this area would keep BTC above the wider invalidation level, as long as price does not lose $74,917.

The upside level also remains clear. A decisive breakout above the rising channel would suggest that wave 2 has already bottomed. In that case, BTC could continue toward higher targets marked near $87,000 and $90,000.

For now, Bitcoin remains above key support but below the upper breakout zone. A clean channel breakout would strengthen the bullish structure. However, a drop below $74,917 would weaken the setup and raise the risk of a deeper correction.

Bitcoin Stalls at $83K After Trump Doubts Iran Deal

Bitcoin hit a 13-week high of $82,833 before Trump called Iran's ceasefire agreement a 'big assumption.'

Oil dropped over 10% on the Iran deal uncertainty, with nearly $1 billion in short interest flagged before the move.

Over $550 million in crypto liquidations occurred in 24 hours, with traders now watching $78,200 as the key support level.

Bitcoin climbed to its highest level in 13 weeks on Wednesday before pulling back sharply after President Donald Trump poured cold water on reports of a US-Iran peace deal.
