- BTC market value has slipped to $1.81T from $2.10T in the past four days.
- Bitcoin price has lost the 20-day EMA and eyeing for the 200-day EMA.
Bitcoin (BTC) price has remained bearish for the past four days and has declined by 11.58%. BTC price has been struggling below the resistance zone of $107K since December.
Bitcoin price has slipped below the 20-day EMA and dropped to the demand zone of $90K. However, the price has received mild buying pressure.
Strong selling and buying activity were correlated with Bitcoin’s price action, according to the cryptocurrency’s net taker volume on Binance.
The robust trading dynamics of Bitcoin were demonstrated over the weekend by spikes in negative taker volume, which often signaled increased selling pressure. Subsequent periods frequently resulted in reversals or price recoveries.
Large Investors Increased but Retailors Decreased in BTC
Over a given time period, the Bitcoin holding patterns of large and retail investors revealed a divergent trend in investment behaviors.
By January 2025, the retail holdings had steadily dropped from approximately 1.74 million bitcoin to 1.68 million bitcoin.
Large investor holdings, on the other hand, have increased over the same period, going from about 16.1 million to 16.3 million.
Despite significant investor accumulation, the price of Bitcoin fluctuated but generally trended lower, indicating that market prices were under pressure from widespread selling among retail holders.

According to this pattern, big investors typically buy when prices are down, probably taking advantage of retail investors’ panic selling to expand their holdings at a discount.
If big investors keep up this accumulation trend, it could signal the start of a bull market for Bitcoin since their persistent purchases might eventually overcome selling pressure and cause a recovery.
On the other hand, Bitcoin’s price may continue to drop if retail selling increases without enough large investor buying to offset it.
Bitcoin Price Received Buying Pressure in Demand Zone: What’s Next?
When writing, BTC USD was trading at $94,961.00 which has dropped by 3.71% in an intraday session.
The market capitalization was $1.81 Trillion and holds 1st spot in the cryptocurrency market. The 24-hour trading volume was $102.09 Billion which has increased by 153%.

After touching the demand zone, the BTC price has departed from this zone. If the price remains over the $90K mark, it could be a bullish signal. If buyers bounces back, the price might reach the supply zone.
Alternatively, if the price loses the major support level of $90K, sellers may dominate. If the Bitcoin price sustains below the $90K level, a bearish momentum could be triggered.
BTC Price Analysis Based on Recent Dip
Bitcoin is currently facing a critical moment as it navigates through a significant price dip. Having declined by over 11% and slipping below the 20-day EMA.
At the time of writing, BTC was trading at around $94,961, inching closer to the key demand zone at $90K.
The mixed behavior between large investors accumulating more BTC while retail investors sell off could foreshadow a potential market shift.
If Bitcoin can maintain its position above the $90K mark, there is a possibility of a bullish recovery, with buyers potentially pushing the price toward the supply zone.
However, if selling pressure from retail investors persists and the price falls below this crucial support level, it could lead to further declines and bearish momentum.
