Bitcoin blasts past $118K, short sellers lose $1.25 billion   

July 11, 2025

The major reason why the most valuable crypto seems to be falling near $18,500, remains the bias that the strongest resistance level before a new all-time high is $18,500 Hence, amid increased selling pressure sellers as breaching the  $18,500 price level upward would boost the chances for a broader rally.

What they are saying

Willy Woo, a former partner at Adaptive Capital, a respected Bitcoin analyst in the crypto-verse, gave key insights on what could make the Crypto bulls suffer from exhaustion, as it approaches the $17,000 mark.

Woo said, “The spike in coin buying should not be underestimated; it’s the largest spike in the 5-year chart below. Overall BTC remains bullish, however, the price needs to settle.

“That said, during this pump, the volume of coins scooped off exchanges by buyers was unprecedented. This price move was entirely organic, powered by significant buyer demand rather than the usual trader-driven action on derivative exchanges. I have not seen an organic pump at this scale in years.”

Meanwhile, BTC Supply in Loss (1d MA) just reached a 2-year low of 328,763.223. BTC’s previous 2-year low of 329,239.896 BTC was observed on November 6, 2020.

What to expect

Taking into consideration the increased buying pressure of the world’s most valuable crypto, Nairametrics’ view on Bitcoin remains bullish in the long term. However, the price needs to cool off at least temporarily. That said, the duration for such consolidation is pretty unknown, as it could be only for a few days or a protracted consolidation for another week or even longer is hard to tell right now.
