Bitcoin (BTC) Price Makes a Turnaround to Close the Week, Bouncing Back Above $62K as Selling Pressure Drops
Oct 06, 2024 at 03:00 am
The price of Bitcoin hasn’t quite started the month as widely expected, falling to around the $60,000 mark on Thursday, October 3rd.
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has failed to meet expectations so far this month, dropping to the $60,000 mark on Thursday, October 3. This bearish pressure is likely due to the rising tensions in the Middle East following Iran's missile attack on Israel.
However, the flagship cryptocurrency appears to be making a comeback to close out the week, bouncing back above $62,000 on Friday. Recent on-chain observations suggest that this latest recovery in the Bitcoin price is linked to decreasing selling pressure.
4,000 Long Positions Liquidated on October 1 — What’s Next?
In a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post, an analyst under the pseudonym Caueconomy discusses the impact of the recent liquidations of long positions in the Bitcoin futures market. According to the analyst, these ongoing liquidations have been beneficial in reducing the bearish pressure on the Bitcoin price.
To provide some background, futures enable investors to speculate on the price of a particular asset (in this case, Bitcoin) in the futures market. A long position is created when a BTC trader purchases a futures contract, anticipating the coin's price to increase at a later date. If the asset's price drops below the purchase price specified in the futures contract, the trader incurs a loss.
As per data from CryptoQuant, following the latest price decline on Tuesday, October 1, over 4,000 long positions were liquidated, marking the second-largest liquidation event this year. While liquidations indicate substantial selling activity and trader losses, they can also signal crucial shifts in market sentiment.
The CryptoQuant analyst points out that periods of heavy losses and market liquidations often lead to the formation of local price bottoms. “During periods of significant price declines, the number of contracts purchased tends to drop sharply due to liquidations, which reduces selling pressure in the market,” explains Caueconomy.
Moreover, the analyst suggests that the Bitcoin price might be setting itself up for a short-term recovery as a result of the decreasing selling pressure. However, Caueconomy emphasizes the need for increasing buying power from investors for the Bitcoin price to fully rebound.
Bitcoin Price At a Glance
It seems that the price of Bitcoin established a local bottom around the psychological level of $60,000 before making a crucial rebound. At the time of writing, the flagship cryptocurrency is trading at the $62,000 mark, indicating an increase of over 2.5% in the past day.
However, this single-day performance is not sufficient to offset Bitcoin's 5% price decline over the past week. Yet, with selling pressure dropping and considering Bitcoin's positive price history in October, it seems like only a matter of time before the flagship cryptocurrency returns to the $65,000 level.
