Bitcoin’s $120K Rally in Jeopardy as Miners Flood Binance With $2B BTC
Main Idea
Bitcoin's attempt to reclaim the $120,000 mark faces challenges due to miner sell-offs and liquidity concerns, despite strong long-term fundamentals.
Key Points
1. Miners sent over 18,000 BTC (worth $2 billion) to exchanges on July 25, coinciding with a $650 million USDC withdrawal, raising short-term liquidity concerns.
2. The miner sell-off marks a shift from their previous 'HODL' behavior, attributed to profit-taking as Bitcoin neared its all-time high.
3. Bitcoin's price was trading at $117,981, slightly down over 24 hours and a week, within a tight range of $115,184 to $119,568, indicating market indecision near key resistance.

5. Analysts suggest that if Bitcoin maintains support above $115,000, another attempt to break $120,000 could occur, potentially retesting the all-time high.
