Bitcoin saw its price retrace after initially moving upwards and clearing the resistance at $80,000. Eventually, though, the price ended up hitting major resistance at $82,000 and falling back downward. Now, the Bitcoin price seems to be stuck in a sideways movement that threatens to be the end of the recovery. However, this might not be the end of the bullish trend that is being flagged on the chart. Why The Bitcoin Price Could Recover Quickly In a recent post, a pseudonymous crypto analyst who goes by HAMED_AZ highlighted three clear signals that could show that the bitcoin price is on the verge of a bullish reversal. The first of these is that the cryptocurrency has now entered a major demand zone. Related Reading: Bitcoin Enters Buy Zone That Previously Led To A ...

Bitcoin’s derivatives market has yet to fully heal from a violent shakeout last October, when roughly 71,000 BTC worth around $11 billion was wiped from open interest across major exchanges.

Strategy sold a small portion of its Bitcoin holdings last week, marking the company’s first disclosed BTC sale since its December 2022 tax-loss harvesting transaction.

According to a Form 8-K filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Strategy sold 32 BTC between May 26 and May 31 for roughly $2.5 million. The average sale price was $77,135 per bitcoin, net of fees and expenses. The company said proceeds from the sale are expected to be used to fund distributions on preferred stock.
