As of 09:15 UTC, Bitcoin traded at $73,692, -0.8% over 24 hours, with $32.9 billion in 24-hour volume.

Corporate Sales Breakdown

MARA was the largest seller, offloading 40,581 BTC for $3.03 billion at an average price of $74,446 per coin. Riot Platforms followed as the second-largest seller, disposing of 20,264 BTC valued at $1.51 billion, with an average sale price of approximately $73,231.

Bitdeer ranked third on the list, with 10,553 BTC leaving its wallets between January and September. The majority of the companies included in the dataset are identified as miners. Selling a portion of mined Bitcoin to cover operational costs is a standard practice in the industry. Core Scientific achieved the highest average sale price among the group at approximately $85,000 per coin.

Sequans and KULR were noted as outliers in the dataset because they held Bitcoin as a treasury asset rather than generating it through mining activities.

Short-Term Holder Activity

Data from Cryptoquant indicates that short-term holders (STHs) have also been selling under pressure. The STH SOPR (7-day average) registered at 0.99 at the time of reporting. A reading below 1.0 indicates that more participants are selling at a loss than at a profit.

On November 6, 32,695 BTC held at a loss by short-term holders were sent to exchanges. This volume represented roughly 89% of all STH movements to exchanges on that day. By November 9, Bitcoin had dropped to a new low near $74,000. Despite the price decline, loss-making inflows to exchanges decreased to approximately 9,900 BTC.

Price Action and Technical Indicators

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $73,686, down 2.2% on the daily chart. The price had fallen from near $86,000 in early October, representing a 15% decline over that period.

Bitcoin attempted a recovery on November 4, jumping back above $80,000. The gain was erased the following day. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stood at 33.8, a level well below the Signal Line and close to the oversold threshold.
