The cryptocurrency market has started to mobilize again after the historical liquidation in the past hours. Investors suffered huge losses as $5.39 billion of leveraged positions were liquidated within 24 hours. But Bitcoin (BTC) $111,822.89attracted attention by showing a rapid recovery after this sharp decline.
A Resilient Comeback After Losses
Bitcoin, which dropped to $103,000 on Friday, gained 8.5% in value and rose to $111,000 as of Saturday. Although it is still down 11% from the record high of $126,300 reached at the beginning of the week, technical indicators indicate that the recovery may continue.
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe stated that it is critical for BTC to remain above the 20-week moving average (20W MA). Holding above this level could signal the beginning of a new bullish wave, as has happened in the past during the COVID-19 crash and FTX crisis periods. According to the analyst, a range of $140,000-150,000 can be targeted by the end of the year.
‘Shark’ Investors Used the Fall as an Opportunity
According to the information shared by data analysis platform Glassnode, “shark” investors holding assets between 100 and 1,000 BTC bought aggressively after the liquidation. The daily net position change of this wallet group reached 190,296 BTC, the highest level since September 2012.
There was also a record increase in the Bitcoin accumulation of this group throughout 2025. This shows that experienced investors see opportunity rather than panic and long-term confidence is maintained. If this trend continues, it seems likely that Bitcoin will enter a new uptrend.
Volatility Declines: Is This a Respite?
According to technical analyst The Great Mattsby, this decline should not be considered the beginning of a long-term bear market, but rather an “interim cooling”. The expert notes that every bull market for Bitcoin in past cycles ended with a widening of the monthly Bollinger Bands. Currently, these bands are still narrowing. This shows that volatility has decreased, so the market has not reached its peak yet. Historically, such “squeeze” periods have often been the precursor to new rallies.
Finally, Ethereum $3,836.17The fact that ‘s price started to recover from the $ 3,100 level indicates that the general market sentiment is gradually turning positive. Institutional investors’ continued ETF inflows may contribute to the market regaining momentum.
This correction of Bitcoin in 2025 follows a more controlled course compared to past examples. Technical indicators indicate that the upward trend may continue in the long term. However, it should not be forgotten that the market is still fragile. At this point, it is important for investors to consider macro data and long-term technical indicators rather than short-term price movements.
