Bitcoin [BTC] has fallen by 3.21%<\/strong> in the past 24 hours, after facing rejection at the $64.6k<\/strong> local resistance zone. This was the same area that rebuffed the bulls a week ago.<\/p>\n

The price downturn has led to $373.58 million<\/strong> in liquidation across the market, with Bitcoin seeing $107.32 million<\/strong> in long and short liquidations.<\/p>\n

AMBCrypto reported that extreme fear ruled the market and had warned that derivatives demand was surging while spot demand was lacking. This spot-versus-derivatives divergence<\/a> has naturally led to a correction.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin excess leverage is being flushed<\/h2>\n

A measured wave of profit-taking<\/a> saw the 100-1,000 BTC<\/strong>-holding cohort sell 67,000 Bitcoin<\/strong> on July 13<\/strong>. This did not signal market panic, and the derivatives signals agreed.<\/p>\n

Crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr. observed that Open Interest was falling as prices also declined. However, market participants were not aggressively building short positions yet.<\/p>\n
