Market watchers consider this concerning as the asset has previously seen multiple weeks of consolidation which could have fueled a breakout to the key $80,000 level.

Further data showcased by the source shows that large holders might have begun to trade with caution as the Bitcoin Exchange Whale Ratio surged to 0.707 on the same day.
While this marked the highest reading in over a week, it shows that the top 10 largest transactions accounted for over 70% of total inflows, suggesting that large Bitcoin holders were actively moving funds onto exchanges on that day.
With the exchange whale ratio metric, market watchers predict that whales might be preparing for distribution, especially in a period of resistance like this.
