  • A second early bull signal points to a possible BTC bottom.
  • Metaplanet and Hut 8 moved large BTC amounts, raising supply concerns.

Bitcoin price remains under pressure as new data points to weak spot demand, even as futures activity grows. That split raises a question: is the market close to a bottom, or is another decline possible before buyers return? Large BTC crypto transfers from treasury firms are also drawing market attention.

Bitcoin Demand Remains Weak As Futures Activity Rises

Bitcoin price is facing a mixed setup. Ki Young Ju said Bitcoin is futures-driven right now, with open interest rising while on-chain spot demand remains net negative. Traders are taking more futures positions, but the wider market is not showing enough direct buying from spot investors.

That matters because a lasting move higher usually needs more than rising futures bets. Ju said a sustainable rally needs both spot and futures demand. He also pointed to April as an example of how futures-led rallies can lose strength when spot demand does not provide enough support.

The latest reading does not confirm that fresh money is entering Bitcoin. Instead, it shows a market where futures traders are becoming more active while on-chain demand remains weak.

For the price of Bitcoin, this creates a balance. Higher open interest can support a move, but it can also leave the market exposed if those positions unwind. Without stronger spot demand, a rally may struggle to hold its gains.

A Second Bull Signal Points to a Possible Bottom for Bitcoin

At the same time, another market signal is giving Bitcoin bulls a reason to stay hopeful. CW8900 said a second early bull signal has appeared on BTC, describing it as a possible bottom signal.

According to the analysis, the first early bull signal was followed by another decline in the past. The second signal, however, appeared around the stage when a bottom was forming and an uptrend was beginning. The market analyst believes Bitcoin may be forming a bottom again.

The analysis noted that the previous rally did not enter an overheated bull phase. The extreme bear phase was also short. CW8900 sees both points as signs that the market may have been preparing for a rally.

Still, this signal does not remove the demand problem. The Bitcoin price needs buyers to follow through if a breakout is to last. A technical bottom signal can improve sentiment, but stronger spot activity would give the move more support.

Treasury Firms Move Bitcoin (BTC) Crypto as Market Watches Supply

Another development has added to the debate around selling pressure. Lookonchain reported that Metaplanet transferred 1,473 BTC, worth about $93.82 million, while Hut 8 transferred 493 BTC, worth about $31.36 million.

The transfers are important because large movements by treasury firms can draw attention when the market is already watching demand closely. However, the available information does not say that either company sold the Bitcoin. A transfer out of a wallet or account is not, by itself, proof of a market sale.

That distinction matters when assessing the possible effect on BTC crypto. If the coins are later sold into the market, the extra supply could add pressure. If they are simply being moved between wallets or accounts, the effect on price could be limited.

For now, the market has three signals today. Futures activity is rising, spot demand remains net negative, and large Bitcoin transfers have been reported from Metaplanet and Hut 8. The second early bull signal is keeping the bottom thesis alive.

The next Bitcoin price move will likely depend on whether spot buyers return strongly enough to support the futures market. Until that happens, a breakout may remain possible, but the latest demand data does not yet confirm that it is close.
