The sudden sell-off followed an extended rally to new all-time highs above $124,000 last week, raising fears of a deeper correction toward the $110,000 support zone.<\/p>\n<p>Data from CoinGlass revealed that long positions accounted for the majority of the liquidations, highlighting the overleveraged state of the market. More than 60% of BTC\/USDT perpetual contracts remain long-biased, leaving traders exposed to cascading liquidation risks if prices fall further.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bitcoin Technical Patterns Signal Bearish Breakdown<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s weekly chart shows a rising wedge formation, a pattern often preceding bearish reversals. Analysts warn that a breakdown from this structure could send BTC tumbling as low as $88,000, nearly 26% below current levels.<\/p>\n<p>On the <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">daily chart<\/a>, BTC also completed a double-top pattern at $123,000 with a neckline near $112,000. A sustained move below this neckline could target the $101,000 zone, reinforcing the bearish outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the caution, Bitcoin\u2019s RSI has formed a descending channel, indicating weakening momentum despite recent price gains.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fed Policy and Institutional Buying in Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Beyond technicals, Bitcoin\u2019s trajectory hinges on upcoming Federal Reserve events.<\/p>\n<p>Investors are closely watching the release of Fed minutes and Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. A hawkish tone from Powell could dampen hopes for a September rate cut, potentially accelerating Bitcoin\u2019s decline.<\/p>\n<p>Still, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitrade.com\/insights\/news\/live-news\/article-3-1045624-20250817#:~:text=Institutional%20Bitcoin%20Holdings%20Barrel%20Toward%2020%25%20Of%20Supply&amp;text=According%20to%20data%20from%20Bitbo,17.344%25%20of%20the%20total%20supply.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">institutional accumulation<\/a> remains strong. Tokyo-based Metaplanet recently added 775 BTC worth $93 million, while Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy purchased 430 BTC for $51 million.
