Market Analysis: Traders Face First Loss-Taking Since October 2024
📉 Traders Finally Break

Recent onchain data shows crypto traders are selling at a loss for the first time in 5 months, marking a potential shift in market sentiment. This follows a period of significant volatility, with $3B in options expiring last week.
Key points:
- First instance of widespread loss-taking since October 2024
- Major market swings coinciding with large options expiration
- Uncertain whether this indicates a market bottom or further decline ahead
The timing aligns with broader market uncertainty, coming after February's worst performance since 2014 and recent recovery sparked by Trump's Crypto Reserve announcement.
