Bitcoin Lines Up A Trip To $105,700 In A “Normal And Healthy” Support Retest

Key points:

• Bitcoin order book liquidity remains a decisive force on low-timeframe BTC price action after a $108,000 grab.

• Whales show divergent behavior from smaller retail investors, choosing to up BTC exposure at current prices.

• A “normal and healthy” support retest is now on the cards, with the 50-day SMA of interest to buyers.

Bitcoin (BTC) cooled its upside at the June 25 Wall Street open as $108,000 became the key breakthrough level for bulls.

BTC price gains paused as whales add exposure

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD returning to consolidation after a snap move to ten-day highs.

Having taken liquidity to the upside, Bitcoin rested on a cloud of bids as sellers lined up closer to all-time highs, per data from monitoring resource CoinGlass.

Market participants themselves held divergent views of what might happen next, with smaller investors taking profit while whales and other major entities added exposure.

“As $BTC attempts to reclaim $108K, the Accumulation Trend Score shows no unified cohort behavior,” onchain analytics firm Glassnode reported in part of ongoing analysis on X.

“1–10 BTC wallets continue distributing, while 10–100 $BTC are net accumulators. Others show mixed signals, though the overall score has rebounded from 0.25 to 0.57.”

Whale accumulation tends to imply faith in further gains to come among Bitcoin’s “smart money” cohort.

Continuing, popular X commentator TheKingfisher identified $107,000 as a point where significant long liquidations should occur.

Wow, this $BTC optical_opti liq map is wild! 📈 Look at that massive wall of long liquidations clustering just below the current price (around 107K-107.1K). Looks like a clear magnet for a potential dip.

The day prior, trading resource Material Indicators revealed all order classes except smaller retail traders buying as the price rose.

“FireCharts shows a small block of bid liquidity appearing in the order book to keep $BTC price elevated amidst nominal profit taking,” it told X followers, referencing one of its proprietary trading tools. 

“It is completely normal to see traders profit taking in this range while long term investors continue to HODL.”

Bitcoin analyst sees $105,700 “buying opportunity”

Material Indicators co-founder Keith Alan, meanwhile, observed what he described as a “normal and healthy” price retracement after the $108,000 run.

“If price drops below the 50-Day SMA, I’ll anticipate another flush to shakeout weak hands, and I’ll look for my next buying opportunity,” he concluded, referring to Bitcoin’s 50-day simple moving average at around $105,700.
