Bitcoin slipped to $108,035 following the unexpected movement of over 80,000 BTC, which had been inactive since 2011. The coins, acquired initially when BTC traded below $1, were transferred on July 4 in two significant transactions, raising fears of a potential dump amid near-record prices.
This was the largest shift of dormant Bitcoin in over a decade.
While no direct transfer to centralised exchanges was detected, a typical sell signal was issued; however, the scale of the move caused a ripple across the market. Traders feared that such a massive stash entering circulation could spark a correction.
In response, long positions were unwound, shorts piled in around the $110,000 resistance level, and price slipped nearly 2% within hours.
BTC price drop: $110,000 → $107,600 24h trading volume: Over $41.3 billion Dormant BTC moved: 80,000 BTC (~$8.6 billion) Price as of writing: $108,035Despite the initial shock, the fact that the BTC was not sent to exchanges suggests internal wallet reorganisation rather than a coordinated sell-off.
However, the event highlighted the sensitivity of sentiment, particularly when Bitcoin hovers near key psychological and technical resistance zones.
Long-Term Outlook Buoyed by Liquidity Forecasts
While short-term sentiment faltered, longer-term bulls found encouragement in macro commentary from Sui Group Chief Economist Hong Hao. Speaking to Phoenix Finance, Hong projected that Bitcoin could hit fresh all-time highs by late 2025, driven by strong global liquidity and dovish monetary policies.
Hong emphasised that Bitcoin remains highly responsive to changes in liquidity, and with central banks likely to loosen financial conditions into 2025, risk assets like BTC stand to benefit. He also pointed to improving sentiment in U.S. equities, suggesting broader risk-on appetite could return.
For now, analysts say this dual narrative—short-term caution vs. long-term optimism—will likely keep BTC consolidating as markets digest the implications of dormant coin activity.
Bitcoin Technical Analysis: Bounce or Breakdown?
Technically, Bitcoin is clinging to support at $108,035 after failing to break above $110,413. Price action on the 2-hour chart shows consolidation above a key ascending trendline and just below the 50-period EMA ($108,250). A bearish divergence in the MACD histogram hints at weakening upside momentum.

Trade Setup :
Entry Zone: $107,800–$108,100 (watch for bullish engulfing) Upside Targets: $109,307 and $110,413 Stop-Loss: Below $107,200 to reduce risk MACD Signal: Bearish crossover; wait for confirmationFor a Bitcoin price prediction, the next 48 hours will be crucial, as a break below the trendline support would invalidate the uptrend. However, if the $108K level holds, this remains a classic “buy-the-dip” scenario in a structurally bullish setup.
