Bitcoin’s failure to hold $100,000 could attract profit booking from traders. Which altcoins will follow BTC's downtrend?
Bitcoin (BTC) has pulled back near $98,000, indicating that the bears continue to fiercely defend the $100,000 level. CryptoQuant contributor Maartuun said in a post on X that long-term holders offloaded 827,783 Bitcoin since Nov. 8. He also highlighted several other signals in the thread, which suggest that Bitcoin may be close to a top.
However, there is no stopping MicroStrategy, one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin, which continues to build its stockpile. The firm said it bought 21,550 Bitcoin between Dec. 2–8 at an average price of $98,783. MicroStrategy co-founder and former CEO Michael Saylor told Yahoo Finance that he would be “buying the top forever.”
