Analysts said that a weakening buying pressure on Bitcoin might be
a cue that the crypto is entering a downward trend phase with some
observers saying that BTC is already within the negative pressure
zone. “Bitcoin’s buying pressure has decreased over the last 60
days, allowing room for selling pressure,” Joao Wedson, Founder
& CEO of Alphractal, said in a post. Bitcoin’s buying pressure

17, 2025 Crypto analysts noted that this condition might lead to a
decline in price which could be both good and bad for digital
assets traders. Data shows that Bitcoin is having a hard time
maintaining a bullish momentum as its price hovers around $95,912
per coin. Two Opportunities Wedson said that BTC has been
experiencing a decline in buying pressure in the last two months,
noting that the market shift could offer something positive to its
investors. “Negative regions present two opportunities,” the CEO
noted. He enumerated that among the opportunities is “favoring
short positions” which could be a good sign for traders. Another
bright spot is the weakened buying pressure that indicates the
“downtrend may continue or has occurred, creating an opportunity to
accumulate BTC.” In other words, the current condition of Bitcoin
could give investors a chance to build their BTC portfolio by
buying more coins. The Buy/Sell Pressure Delta Chart In a post,
Wedson presented two charts of the Buy/Sell Pressure Delta to
illustrate the shifting dynamics between buying and selling
activity in Bitcoin, which has been going on in the past 60 days.
Wedson explained that if the market is dominated by sell pressure,
investors can take advantage of the downward momentum by entering
short positions. According to historical data, negative pressure
zones usually align with a continued decrease in price, a
potentially profitable opportunity for traders betting on further
price declines. Meanwhile, the Alphractal executive showed in the
graph that a high sell pressure commonly indicates a bearish
sentiment, adding that this is a great opportunity for long-term
traders to increase their BTC holdings. Analysts explained
accumulating more Bitcoin during this period allows long-term
investors to position themselves for a future recovery. “The
decrease in buying pressure is a significant factor to consider.
While short positions might seem attractive in a downtrend, the
potential for accumulation also presents a compelling long-term
strategy,” a crypto investor commented on Wedson’s post. Related
