This metric indicates that market takers executing trades are predominantly selling. The negative readings underscore growing bearish sentiment among retail participants, even with Bitcoin hovering near record levels.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2025-07\/019832cb-6e99-7e22-b309-836990c94dc3\" alt=\"Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin Price, Markets, Binance, Price Analysis, Market Analysis\" \/><figcaption><em>Bitcoin Net Taker Volume. Source: CryptoQuant<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Regional demand trends further support this caution. In the US, the Coinbase Premium Index, which measures the price gap between Coinbase and other global exchanges, has remained flat for most of July. Despite Bitcoin\u2019s rally, US spot buyers appear hesitant, either taking profits or sitting out in anticipation of better entry points. Meanwhile, the Korea Premium Index has slipped into negative territory, a sign that Bitcoin is now trading at a discount on Korean exchanges. This divergence signals ongoing selling pressure and a broader lack of enthusiasm among Korea-based retail traders.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2025-07\/019832ca-81ac-79e3-97d1-c6f254a2d57d\" alt=\"Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin Price, Markets, Binance, Price Analysis, Market Analysis\" \/><figcaption><em>Bitcoin Korean Premium Index.

Crypto analyst Boris Vest noted that this ongoing liquidity battle, where sellers are absorbed near $116,000 and buyers are capped near $120,000, shows a healthy two-sided market.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2025-07\/019832cd-b082-75bc-b276-f16799204c5f\" alt=\"Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin Price, Markets, Binance, Price Analysis, Market Analysis\" \/><figcaption><em>Bitcoin Spot Volume Delta spike. Source: CryptoQuant<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite aggressive sell pressure on Binance, the recent negative $4.1 billion cumulative volume delta (CVD) was immediately absorbed, followed by a $2.3 billion positive spike as buyers stepped in. This indicates that demand remains resilient at lower levels. As long as Bitcoin continues to defend the mid-$110,000 region, bulls maintain structural control, with the upside potential if sell-side liquidity thins out. The longer this tight range holds, the more likely it sets the stage for a breakout favoring the prevailing uptrend.<\/p>\n<p>From a technical perspective, while a breakout above $120,000 remains possible, a sweep of the daily fair value gap (FVG) between $115,200 and $112,000 could provide the necessary liquidity to fuel the next leg higher. A move into this zone would likely trigger liquidations and set the stage for a strong rally past the current all-time high of $123,100, primarily as price inefficiencies above have largely been filled.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2025-07\/019832d3-ca1b-7509-bc20-8d2d1caf4083\" alt=\"Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin Price, Markets, Binance, Price Analysis, Market Analysis\" \/><figcaption><em>Bitcoin one-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph\/TradingView<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bitcoin must show a sharp bullish reaction upon retesting the FVG for this scenario to play out. A failure to rebound quickly after taking out the recent equal lows near $115,700 could signal fading momentum and expose downside risk. In short, the strength and speed of the bounce from this liquidity zone will be key in determining whether BTC is primed for continuation or a deeper retracement.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin Researcher Axel Adler Jr. said BTC remains in the growth zone, as \u201cmarket participants still support buying activity.\u201d Adler Jr added,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe haven\u2019t yet entered a phase of excessive optimism there\u2019s still room for further upside toward $139\u202fK without a serious risk of overheating.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2025-07\/019832cf-9bab-7927-892e-72a6d7256b39\" alt=\"Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin Price, Markets, Binance, Price Analysis, Market Analysis\" \/><figcaption><em>Bitcoin Price Investor Model.
