Bitcoin continues to hold steady above $100,000, despite facing relentless selling pressure on Binance’s derivatives platform for more than a month.

Since early May, Bitcoin has traded in a tight range between $100,000 and $110,000, occasionally dipping below the psychological $100,000 mark.

According to CryptoQuant contributor BorisVest, this behavior implies that large buyers—possibly institutional investors—are absorbing the sell orders.

“The fact that the price isn’t falling under sustained sell-side pressure could point to accumulation by more sophisticated players,” BorisVest wrote.

This dynamic has played out before in previous market cycles, where early institutional accumulation occurs during periods of suppressed volatility.

Even so, Bitcoin’s ability to remain in its range despite multiple selling attempts is turning heads.

Recent price action supports this view. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $108,589, up 0.4% on the day.

Institutional interest in Bitcoin has been steadily increasing, especially after the approval of several Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year.

Bitcoin's yearly percentage trend also adds to the optimism. If the current trajectory holds, projections estimate that BTC could reach as high as $205,000 by the end of 2025.

In the short term, analysts suggest closely watching the $110,000 resistance level. A breakout above this could confirm bullish momentum and potentially lead to a rapid move…

The next few weeks could be pivotal. As the battle between short sellers and strong hands continues, the market is likely building energy for a breakout.

In conclusion, while aggressive selling continues on derivatives platforms like Binance, Bitcoin's underlying demand appears to be absorbing this pressure efficiently.
