Bitcoin\u2019s (BTC<\/a>) rally stalled above $76,000 stalled on Tuesday after short-term profit-taking by traders reached its highest level in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The activity coincided with continued accumulation by long-term holders, and this opposing interaction between the two cohorts may continue to impact Bitcoin\u2019s attempts to break into the $80,000 range.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin profit-taking meets whale demand<\/h2>\n

New Bitcoin short-term holders moved their holdings as BTC in profit sent to exchanges reached 63,000 BTC on April 14, the highest level in 2026, since the 44,800 spike on Jan. 14.<\/p>\n

Onchain data shows that the one-day-to-one-week cohort moved nearly 2,000 BTC back to Binance during the same time. This implied that freshly acquired coins are rotating into sell-side liquidity as BTC traded near $76,000.<\/p>\n

Crypto analyst Amr Taha flagged<\/a> this as the first clear wave of profit-taking after the retest of the monthly highs. The activity aligns with cautious distribution, in which newer participants seek to secure gains at key resistance levels during a bear market.<\/p>\n

Taha noted that this indicates a natural cooling phase in momentum.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, BTC whale behavior shows a different pattern. Market analyst CW noted<\/a> a single-day inflow of over 71,000 BTC into accumulation addresses, the largest bullish inflow since early 2022. The large holders appear to be absorbing available supply from the short-term sellers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The relationship between these flows points to a transfer of coins from weaker hands to stronger ones, which may stabilize the price while limiting an immediate rally.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin liquidity cluster may lead to a small dip<\/h2>\n

After forming equal highs near $76,000, BTC\u2019s price rejected near the 100-day exponential moving average (EMA), marking the first test of this trend since Jan. 14. The momentum slowed after the rejection, with price slipping to $73,500.<\/p>\n

However, on the lower time frame, the bullish trend remains intact.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the one-hour chart, internal liquidity levels are resting around $73,000 and $72,000. These zones may attract bid orders that may get filled before a trend continuation.<\/p>\n

The liquidation heatmap provides additional context, with $1.4 billion in cumulative long liquidations clustered around $73,000. That figure rises to $3.5 billion in long positions at risk near $70,500.<\/p>\n

At the opposite end, a move toward $80,000 would expose $2 billion in leveraged short positions. The spread between the long and short liquidation zones suggests BTC may retest the $72,000 to $70,000 range before moving higher.\u00a0<\/p>\n
