Bitcoin Prices Drop Again as Big Investors Sell While Small Buyers Join

Bitcoin fell below $70, 000 and small investors started buying more. Big holders—those owning between 10 and 10, 000 coins—started taking profits when the price hit $74, 000. Between February 23 and March 3, whales bought a lot while the price ranged from $62, 900 to $69, 600. Since Wednesday, these large investors have sold about 66 % of what they bought recently. Meanwhile, tiny holders with less than 0. 01 Bitcoin are adding to their piles. When small buyers step in while big sellers pull out, it often means the price has not yet stopped falling. At the time of writing Bitcoin traded around $67, 984.The drop pushed the Crypto Fear & Greed Index into “Extreme Fear” with a score of 12. A trader named Michael van de Poppe warned that if Bitcoin cannot hold in the $67‑$68K area, it may fall further to gather cash before rebounding. The price slip happened as U. S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw their biggest net outflow in three weeks, losing $348. 9 million across 11 funds. Historically, Bitcoin has bounced back from lows near $60, 000, which an economist calls a likely floor for now. He estimates there is a 99. 5 % chance the price will stay above $60, 000 in the short term.
