Bitcoin Short-Term Holders Dump 48K BTC In Profit As Price Tests $75K

Bitcoin is testing the key resistance level of $75,000 amid growing bullish momentum, but on-chain data reveals significant profit-taking by short-term holders (STHs). According to a CryptoQuant report, STHs sold over 48,000 BTC in profit in a single day as the asset approached this threshold, marking a yearly high in profit-realization activity. This behavior reflects continued caution among near-term investors, who are using price rallies as exit opportunities rather than holding for further gains. While demand is returning, persistent selling pressure at key resistance levels may slow upward momentum and delay a sustained breakout. The market remains in a balance between new buying interest and opportunistic profit-taking.

‘Liquidity still low’- Bitcoin’s $75K rally looks fragile, warns analysts

Despite Bitcoin's recovery to $75,000, analysts from Amberdata warn that the rally appears fragile due to structurally weak orderbook liquidity, which remains below pre-October crash levels. Current liquidity, though improved to over $30 million, is still insufficient compared to the $40 million+ considered healthy, making the market vulnerable to large downward moves if selling pressure returns. A decline below $25 million in liquidity, combined with high volume, could trigger significant liquidation cascades. Additionally, increased Bitcoin inflows and potential resistance near $75,000–$85,000 may cool the rally. For a sustained breakout, Bitcoin must firmly hold above $75,000 as support, indicating strong spot-driven demand.

Jane Street Is Trading Bitcoin Again: What You Should Know About This Major Player

Jane Street, a major trading firm, has resumed significant Bitcoin activity, drawing market attention. Recent on-chain data shows coordinated inflows of over 205 BTC (worth ~$15 million) from exchanges BitMEX and LMAX Digital into a single wallet linked to the firm. The timing and structure suggest institutional positioning or rebalancing. This activity occurs amid ongoing scrutiny of Jane Street’s alleged role in the May 2022 Terra/LUNA collapse. Legal filings claim the firm purchased LUNA at a deep discount before the crash and sold portions for substantial profit, though Jane Street denies wrongdoing, calling it standard market-making. The renewed Bitcoin movements highlight the firm’s continued influence and the market's attention to major players' actions.

Bitcoin Whale Vs. Retail Activity Now Lags Relative To Altcoins: What This Means

Bitcoin has maintained an upward trajectory after surpassing $70,000, but a key shift in market structure is emerging. According to analytics platform Alphractal, the gap between whale and retail activity in Bitcoin has decreased compared to altcoins. This suggests whales are more inclined to close long positions or open shorts on BTC, while retail investors show increased interest in long positions. This divergence may stem from whales perceiving more downside potential in Bitcoin, whereas altcoins have already declined significantly. If the whale vs. retail metric turns negative, the market could turn bearish. Meanwhile, traders are positioning ahead of the Federal Reserve’s decision, with Bitcoin's reclaim of $70,000 triggering short liquidations and a shift toward long positions, indicating a potential increase in volatility.

Bitcoin longs stack above $73K ahead of FOMC – Is short squeeze coming?

Bitcoin is seeing significant long positions stacked above $73K ahead of the March 18 FOMC meeting, amid expectations of continued upward momentum. Despite broader risk-off sentiment in traditional markets, nearly $400 billion has flowed into crypto in three weeks, driving a 25% BTC rally from its $60K floor. With $1.3 billion in shorts near $80K, a short squeeze could catalyze a breakout. Key factors include the Fed’s likely unchanged rates, Bitcoin’s low MVRV ratio suggesting long-term upside, and renewed buying pressure on major exchanges. Volatility is expected post-FOMC, but strong bid support may help bulls trigger a bear trap and push BTC past $80K.

Supply Cleared, Conviction Pending

Bitcoin has broken above the $70k resistance, trading near $74k and clearing a dense supply cluster between $59k–$72k. It now enters a low-resistance "air gap" up to $82k. While the move is encouraging, the Percent of Supply in Profit remains at ~60%, below the 75% threshold needed to confirm a bull market. The rally is supported by renewed spot ETF inflows, positive CVD trends, and institutional re-engagement, but derivatives show defensive positioning with negative funding rates and subdued futures open interest. Options markets indicate stabilizing sentiment, though negative gamma at $75k may influence near-term price movement. Sustained upside requires continued capital inflows and broader market conviction.

The Bitcoin Inheritance Challenge: How to Help Your Family Recover Your Assets?

Self-custody of Bitcoin fundamentally changes estate planning. A robust inheritance plan must protect assets during the owner’s lifetime while ensuring designated individuals can recover them after death. Bitcoin’s key advantage—bypassing banks and custodians—also complicates inheritance, as the network only recognizes cryptographic keys, not legal documents. Key challenges include balancing security and accessibility, managing technical complexity for non-expert heirs, preserving privacy, and ensuring long-term viability. Common solutions include: 1. Custodial Inheritance: Relies on exchanges or institutions, sacrificing self-custody benefits for familiar legal processes. 2. DIY Inheritance: Ranges from simple seed-phrase handovers to complex multisig setups. High autonomy but requires technical competence from heirs. 3. Assisted Custody: Uses a service provider for multisig setup and recovery guidance, improving usability but depending on the provider’s longevity. 4. On-Chain Collaborative Inheritance: Combines assisted recovery with on-chain fallbacks (e.g., timelocks), ensuring access even if the provider fails. The strongest plans integrate a smooth, guided recovery path with a durable on-chain backup. Regular testing and updates are crucial. Inheritance isn’t just a technical issue—it must align with legal frameworks and family circumstances. Ultimately, a well-designed Bitcoin inheritance plan ensures assets remain secure, private, and recoverable for generations.

Bitcoin Is Showing A Major Deviation From 2022, Analyst Says This Is A Different Foundation

A crypto analyst, DorkChicken, highlights a significant deviation in Bitcoin's current market structure compared to the 2022 cycle. The analysis indicates the present bull market is developing on a stronger foundation, with price forming multiple consolidation zones that act as robust support levels. This contrasts sharply with the 2022 crash, which occurred after BTC fell below $30,000 into an area with little historical support, leading to a deep selloff. The current structure suggests future corrections may be less severe. Furthermore, analyst 'Investor Jordan' asserts that bearish pressure is in its final stages following Bitcoin's recovery above $70,000 and a breakout from a key bull flag pattern. This breakout opens a path toward two short-term targets: filling the CME gap between $81,500 and $83,000, and a final push to reclaim the $84,000 level.
