Bitcoin is showing the first signs of profit booking, but the bears are struggling to hold the price below $69,000, indicating buying at lower levels.
Bitcoin’s (BTC) sharp rally is showing signs of a short-term pullback, which could be one of the reasons for the mere $132 million in inflows into the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds on March 14. A marked slowdown in inflows could start a corrective phase as Bitcoin’s most recent leg of the rally has largely been driven by solid inflows into the Bitcoin ETFs.
If a correction starts in Bitcoin, how deep could that be? During previous halving cycles, Bitcoin has seen a drop close to 40%, according to a X (formerly Twitter) post by the pseudonymous trader known as Bags. If history were to repeat, then Bitcoin could plummet to about $45,500.
Corrections are a part of every bull market. A positive sign during the current pullback is that it is largely due to profit-booking on hedges and has not led to “panic shorting yet,” according to popular trader Skew.
