Bitcoin News

This week saw one of the top 12 highest bear pressures this cycle.
Only 7.3% of weeks in the bull run had similar selling volumes.
Despite this, Bitcoin quickly rebounded to $117K.

This week marked a rare moment in Bitcoin’s ongoing bull cycle. Out of the entire cycle, only 12 weeks have shown equal or greater selling pressure from bears—placing this week among the top 7.3% in terms of volume sold. Despite the intense downward force, Bitcoin showed resilience. The quick recovery to $117,000 has caught the attention of traders and analysts alike.

Market behavior like this is unusual. Normally, high selling volume during a bull cycle could trigger panic or a longer-term downturn. However, Bitcoin’s rebound hints at strong investor confidence and potential buying strength that may be building beneath the surface.

Why the Recovery Matters

Selling pressure alone doesn’t tell the whole story. What’s remarkable is that after such intense bear action, Bitcoin managed to regain its footing rapidly. Rebounding to $117K sends a strong message: the bulls are still in control—or at least ready to defend key levels.

Analysts often look for these kinds of responses to gauge market sentiment. A quick recovery after heavy selling typically suggests that long-term holders or institutional buyers are stepping in. This can act as a bullish signal moving forward.

The week is coming to an end and in this bull cycle, only 12 weeks have shown the same or greater selling pressure from the bears, which accounts for about 7.3% of the entire cycle.

Looking Ahead

While it’s too early to call this a turning point, historical data supports optimism. If only 7.3% of weeks in this cycle had this level of selling—and most of them led to further gains—then this week may end up being a launchpad rather than a warning sign.

Investors should remain cautious but attentive. The strength Bitcoin displayed this week shows that, even under extreme pressure, the market has room to grow.
