</ul>
<p>Bitcoin, in the midst of extreme market fluctuations, is demonstrating a speedy recovery from a substantial price drop to $10,000. This volatility continues to exert pressure on traders.</p>
<h2 id="traders-bet-on-btc-s-recovery">Traders Bet on BTC’s Recovery</h2>
<p>The BTC/USD pair is recovering more than half of its losses from March 5, according to data from market sources. On that day, Bitcoin reclaimed its all-time highs from November 2021. However, large-scale investors were ready to capitalize on over-leveraged markets.</p>
<p>“There aren’t fewer people wanting to own Bitcoin after this flush,” stated a well-known Bitcoin advocate. “This was a case of big whales moving the market like a wave, sending thousands of over-leveraged or under-informed small fish into their mouths.”</p>
<h2 id="the-impact-of-market-structure">The Impact of Market Structure</h2>
<p>Data from CoinGlass, a monitoring resource, reveals that the dip, which bottomed near $59,300 on Bitstamp, accounted for $1.17 billion in cross-crypto liquidations. The majority of these were long positions.</p>
<p>Looking at the market structure, a cathartic effect is apparent. Funding rates across exchanges have modestly reset from levels that some argued were unsustainable. The story told by open interest is similar, with the latest estimates showing this building in line with the BTC price recovery after an initial $3 billion flush.</p>
<h2 id="whale-moves-and-trader-behavior">Whale Moves and Trader Behavior</h2>
<p>Trading resource Material Indicators suggests that whales might be altering their expectations. A block of bid liquidity on the largest global exchange, <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/exchange/binance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance</a>, has moved higher, potentially cushioning the correction from $69,000.</p>
<p>“On Feb 28th whales moved $54M in BTC USDT bid liquidity on Binance from the $36k – $38k range and turned it into a buy wall at $52k. Today they moved more than half ($27M) of that buy wall and converted it into a bid ladder that climbs from $60k – $65k,” Material Indicators noted.</p>
<p>A popular comparison to <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a>‘s price behavior in late 2020, when previous all-time highs were broken, continues to circulate. Then, BTC/USD also experienced a sudden retracement, spending around two weeks below the new highs before finally breaking out.</p>
