Since July 2025, the cryptocurrency market has been dominated by sales, leading to a significant increase in selling pressure. Experts from CryptoQuant note that during this period, buy limit orders, despite the activity of sellers, absorbed a substantial portion of the supply. However, recent months have shown a record level of pressure not seen in three months.

Futures Market Dynamics and Impact on Long-Term Predictions
Analysts estimate that the futures market has maintained a high level of leverage for 16 months; however, after Bitcoin reached its all-time high, this trend has gradually declined. Experts believe that the current capitulation amid the price drop of the leading cryptocurrency could signal positive developments in the long term.
Positive Signals from Bitcoin and Social Media
According to Santiment, on February 24, 2026, Bitcoin showed a local rebound, reaching a daily high of approximately $66,200. This movement was correlated with U.S. President Donald Trump’s address to Congress. Additionally, Santiment identified the highest balance of positive and negative comments regarding cryptocurrencies on social media in the past month, indicating a rise in optimism among market participants.
“It would be ideal to see some selling among retail investors over the week. If FOMO among retail remains high, and there is a consensus that the ‘bear cycle is ending,’ this could halt the rally, as historically the crowd often misjudges price movement forecasts for cryptocurrencies,” analysts emphasized.
Previously, CryptoQuant analysts reported that one of their indicators points to a potential Bitcoin accumulation zone, which could also influence the market’s further development.
