- The cumulative volume delta turned more negative, indicating stronger selling pressure than buying activity.
- Monday’s trading formed a bearish marubozu candlestick pattern, suggesting complete seller dominance.

Bitcoin retreated below $92,000 in overnight trading, marking a significant pullback from recent highs as derivatives data signals mounting bearish pressure in the cryptocurrency markets.
The decline coincided with a substantial increase in perpetual futures open interest on Binance‘s BTC/USDT pair, which saw approximately 12,000 BTC (valued over $1 billion) in new positions opened as prices fell from $96,000, according to data from Coinglass.
Market analysts interpret the simultaneous rise in open interest and price decline as evidence of traders establishing new short positions. The cumulative volume delta (CVD), which measures the net difference between buy and sell volume, turned increasingly negative across both futures and spot markets, confirming the dominance of selling pressure.
Monday’s price action produced what technical analysts call a bearish marubozu candlestick – a rare pattern where prices open near the high and close near the low with minimal shadows, indicating sellers maintained control throughout the trading session. This formation, combined with prices trading below key moving averages, suggests the potential for continued downward momentum.
From a technical perspective, Bitcoin now faces crucial support at $89,200, corresponding to the January 13 low. Should this level fail to hold, the 200-day simple moving average at $81,661 represents the next major support zone. Conversely, bulls need to reclaim the February 21 high of $99,520 to invalidate the current bearish setup.
