The BTC USD price is volatile, looking at the price action of the past few days. After last week\u2019s surge, which pushed Bitcoin to its highest price level in history at over $124,500, bears have taken control. Early gains on August 14 were quickly reversed as sellers pressed on, fully erasing the previous day\u2019s gains. While there were expectations that crypto prices would recover, bears doubled down. <\/span><\/p>\n

By the start of the week, there has been no reprieve. Not only is BTC USD<\/span>\u00a0trading below last week\u2019s lows, but with each lower low on the Bitcoin daily chart, the probability of Bitcoin crashing below $110,000 this week increases.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the daily chart, the path of least resistance appears northward. However, buyers are fading, and sellers believe they can capitalize, possibly popping the bubble. A double top has formed, with clear resistance at around all-time highs. On the lower end, the primary support is $110,000. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although \"btcBTC \u25bc-1.31%<\/span><\/a> bulls from late June remain in control from a top-down perspective, for the uptrend to continue, there must be a comprehensive close above $124,500 and a reversal of recent losses. <\/span><\/p>\n

If not, and sellers take over, it could lead to a bloodbath, forcing BTC USD back to $100,000 or lower. When this happens, even some of the <\/span>top Solana meme coins<\/span><\/a> may fall.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Coinglass<\/a>, over $102 million in leveraged Bitcoin longs were liquidated in the past 24 hours. Data shows that most of these liquidations occurred on Bybit and Binance. The largest BTC USDT liquidated position was worth $9.7 million on Binance. <\/span><\/p>\n

As prices fall, open interest is also down, dropping to $81 billion. This contraction suggests that traders are staying on the sidelines and possibly exiting their long positions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin Whales Accumulating as Speculators Capitulate: Who Will Win?<\/span><\/h2>\n

On X, one analyst notes that short-term holders, mostly speculators who bought less than three months ago, are officially in pain, selling BTC at a loss. The short-term holder realized profit\/loss ratio indicates that speculators began feeling pressure once prices fell below $115,000. Historically, investors who buy during this capitulation tend to be handsomely rewarded.<\/span><\/p>\n
