Markets remained steady, signaling resilience against large outflows.
BTC Price Stable Despite Galaxy Wallet Outflows
Trading platforms showed minor dips toward $117K during U.S. hours, but resistance at the 21-day simple moving average (SMA) ($117,480) held strong.
The stability carried despite Galaxy’s outflows being channeled into exchanges, a move typically seen as bearish.
Traders Eye CME Futures Gap Patterns
Daan Crypto Trades noted that Bitcoin continued to fill CME futures gaps, a familiar weekly pattern.
Meanwhile, indicators suggest Bitcoin may test range support near $108K if short-term momentum fades—or consolidate around $115K to $117K as traders await new catalysts.
Market Sentiment: Cautious but Resilient
Some analysts warn of bearish divergence and lack of upward follow-through across technicals, raising the possibility of a “flash sale.”
However, Bitcoin’s ability to absorb past waves of selling without large volatility has reinforced investor confidence.
Final Thoughts
Bitcoin’s stability in the face of high-profile wallet outflows from Galaxy Digital demonstrates market maturity. Technical resistance zones and CME gap fills continue to influence price action. Traders should monitor short-term momentum carefully—especially around key support levels.
