Selling, Buying Trend
Trading activity suggested buyers maintained a slight advantage over sellers during the period, with buyer activity accounting for 57% compared with 43% for sellers.
Several factors continued to influence market sentiment. Regulatory clarity from Japan and South Korea was viewed as supporting Bitcoin’s institutional appeal, while comments from BlackRock’s chief executive pointed to broader market stability.
Meanwhile, technical indicators signaled weakening momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) both moved lower, suggesting the possibility of a short-term price retracement.
External developments also remained in focus. Geopolitical tensions and the presence of a significant leveraged short position were identified as factors that could contribute to increased market volatility.
Bitcoin remains below its all-time high of $126,198.07, recorded on 7 October 2025, but continues to draw attention from investors tracking price movements and overall market trends.
