Bitcoin fell nearly 10% to $74,027 on May 23 following a $766 million liquidation event that wiped out many long positions, marking the largest in three months. Bitfinex analysts warn that $79,000 acts as a strong resistance level, limiting near-term recovery unless new institutional demand emerges. Despite low exchange reserves and stable long-term holder supply, upside momentum remains fragile amid macroeconomic pressures like persistent inflation and rising Treasury yields. The withdrawal of a bitcoin ETF application by Truth Social highlights tough competition in the ETF market dominated by major players like BlackRock.
