Glassnode said It is important to note that this downturn is not like previous capitulations. Most of the losses in recent months are due to traders who have bought at the top.

Futures volumes reached $128 billion. Open interest dropped by $14 billion. However, only $1 billion was forced out of long positions.

Bitcoin bullseye rally to $117.500 but will they make it?

The key level of resistance for a bullish market continuation is $117.500. This area is where a strong close each day and consolidated price above it could turn the recent correction quickly into a new rally in the next week.
