The Daily Chart
Looking at the daily chart, the price has been rallying over the last few months, consistently making higher highs and lows. Yet, the $75K resistance level rejected Bitcoin lower, and the market is currently dropping below the $68K support level. Yet, there is still a significant support level available around the $60K mark to prevent a crash.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index has been showing a clear bearish divergence lately, indicating that the market is likely to go through a more prolonged correction phase.
The 4-Hour Chart
On the 4-hour chart, the price action looks much clearer. The market has made a high below the $75K level and is currently testing the $68K support zone.
A bearish breakout is likely to lead to a further decline toward the $60K level in the short term. The RSI showing values below 50% confirms that the momentum has now switched to bearish, and a further drop seems probable.

Bitcoin STH SOPR
While Bitcoin’s price has finally shown some willingness to pull back after making a new all-time high, it might be beneficial to analyze the underlying fundamentals of the network to figure out the reason.
This chart demonstrates the Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio. The STH SOPR calculates the ratio of profit realization by holders who have held their coins for less than 155 days. Values above one indicate realizing profits, while values below one are associated with realizing losses.
As the chart shows, the STH SOPR has been making a new record high, indicating that the short-term holders have been aggressively realizing their profits. Yet, their selling pressure has definitely contributed to the recent price drop. Until this selling behavior continues, the price can still drop lower in the coming weeks.

A wave of $100 billion in mechanical selling pressure triggered a "head start" on Wall Street, but these early moves by smart money instead accelerated the sell-off: the Nasdaq fell 6.4% in a single day, semiconductors plunged 12%, and the “best of the year” AI and energy barbell trades collapsed within 48 hours. Even more dangerously, lagging selling pressure is still on its way. This reflexive storm demonstrates that when everyone knows the same script and acts on it simultaneously, the script itself stops working.

BTIG Chief Technical Strategist Krinsky warns that yesterday's sharp decline in the US stock market is not the bottom, but just the beginning. Nearly 70% of S&P 500 components are still trading above their 200-day moving average, and elevated breadth indicators suggest that the sell-off is far from over. If "defensive sectors" such as healthcare and consumer staples start to fall as well, the real "generals and soldiers falling together" will occur, and the S&P may head straight for 7000 points.
