Bitcoin nears $79K but heavy institutional selling hints at possible correction ahead.

Bitcoin surged past $79,000, extending a five-day rally over 30%, but significant selling by institutions like Jump Crypto and a large whale triggered over $647 million in long liquidations. This selling pressure caused Bitcoin's price to retrace to around $77,000, losing some gains and signaling a potential market correction. Technical indicators such as the RSI and MACD suggest Bitcoin is overbought and cooling off, with large sell orders stacked near $79K-$80K. While the crypto market remains strong, these signs point to a possible short-term correction in Bitcoin's price.
