$BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc.(BMNR)$$iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF(IBIT)$ Bitcoin crumbles below $109K, but data shows buyers stepping in
Bitcoin price tumbled toward new lows below $109,000 and while charts suggest the sell-off is far from over, data shows spot buyers accelerating their accumulation.
Throughout the past week, traders have stepped in to buy intra-day lows, but liquidation heatmap data from Hyblock shows a liquidation cluster composed of leveraged long positions at risk of absorption from $111,000 to $107,000.
In addition to the downside liquidation risk, activity in perpetual futures markets continues to drive Bitcoin’s day-to-day price action, and heavy selling from the institutional investor-sized cohorts (1,000 to 10 million) continues to overwhelm the spot purchasing seen among retail-investor-sized (100 to 1,000) orders.
