Bitcoin<\/a> is enduring a multi-front assault on its spot market liquidity as exchange-traded funds, short-term speculators, and cryptocurrency miners simultaneously distribute assets.<\/p>\n

This coordinated selling pressure has drained market demand at the fastest pace since the 2022 collapse of the Terra\/Luna ecosystem.<\/a><\/p>\n

As a result, BTC’s price has tanked 12% over the past week, pushing the top crypto towards the $60,000 level<\/a> amid heavy hedging activities from market traders. BTC is exchanging hands at $64,036 as of press time, according to CryptoSlate’s<\/em> data.<\/p>\n

Yet, this spot-market flush has created a structural paradox that could still catapult BTC’s value.<\/p>\n

The volume of selling has twisted the derivatives market into an increasingly lopsided shape where a record wall of short positions now anchors the market.<\/p>\n

However, while traditional spot indicators point downward, any pause in selling could spark a mechanical short squeeze and turn the traders betting against Bitcoin<\/a> into the forced buyers who fuel its next rally.<\/p>\n

The primary driver behind Bitcoin\u2019s recent price weakness is a sharp reversal in institutional capital flows. Spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/a> recently logged a 13-day streak of consecutive liquidations between mid-May and early June.<\/p>\n

According to Galaxy Research, these funds shed 59,351 BTC, pulling roughly $4.33 billion out of the market.<\/p>\n
