For many in the crypto ecosystem, using the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) system is a great tactic for winning over the market in the long run. But in the short term, there are usually concerns about assets moving in both directions.
Shorts blooms; longs in the “red pool”
An undeniable reason for the fall is the crisis facing Binance. Recall that on June 5, the SEC threw the crypto community into panic mode and released a statement that it was suing the exchange.
As the world’s largest exchange, Binance records billions of dollars in volume. But according to Guardian data, more than $1.4 billion, representing 2.6% of its total reserves, had left the exchange since the announcement. Sure, this outflow included BTC.
With such sale pressure, it was inevitable that the king coin did not feel the effect. This has also spread to the total crypto market cap, which fell to $1.09 trillion.
Consequently, traders tried to take advantage of the situation. According to Coinglass, the long/short ratio became 0.84 shortly after the public got wind of the issue with regulators.

A ratio above one means there are more long positions than shorts. So there was more positive sentiment in the market. But as the ratio fell below that value, the number of short positions outnumbered the number of long contracts.
Therefore, the broader expectation was negative.
Despite the increase in short positions, the liquidation heatmap showed that BTC’s breakout exceeded $110 million in the past 24 hours. According to data from the derivatives portal, longs suffered the most.

Bulls have the lost support
For all the heat the market was going through, Benjamin Cowen meant that BTC may have reached a local short-term high. Speaking to his 783,000 YouTube subscribers, Cowen suggested that Bitcoin may have lost its bull market support band at the new weekly close.
Historically, the indicator has been great at identify market shifts. When the price drops below the band, it means that BTC had entered the bear phase. But when it breaks above it, the price is usually bullish.
Cowen said:
“It is worth leaving open the possibility that June could show renewed strength. But I think that is more of a secondary case.”

Further, on chain data showed that the seven-day market value to realized value (MVRV) ratio had fallen to -3.771%. When the stat goes up, it means more participants made a profit and were willing to take a profit.
But when it breaks through the positive region, it means the market has a bunch of unrealized losses. However, the broader market appeared poised to bounce back from the troubling events as weighted sentiment grew to 0.775.
