3 reasons why Bitcoin is on shaky ground after failing to retake $60K

[Cristiano]

Bitcoin (BTC) is back testing lower levels after failing to conquer $60,000 resistance — and indicators suggest the downturn is not over.

BTC/USD bounced off $55,000 overnight on Monday, hours after hitting local highs of nearly $59,000 in bullish early trading.

With sellers still in place closer to all-time highs of $64,500, the largest cryptocurrency has a lot of work to do to exit its current broad trading range.

BTC moves back to exchanges
One metric which may soon be causing problems for bulls is the overall BTC balance on cryptocurrency exchanges.

While seeing a general steep downtrend throughout the past year, local spikes in supply — when traders send coins back to their exchange accounts for potential quick sale — tends to reflect a more selling-driven mentality entering.

This is not the case for every exchange this week. According to data from monitoring resource Bybt, 16,222 BTC has entered global leader Binance in the past seven days. By contrast, institutional platform Coinbase Pro has actually lost 11,947 BTC, conforming to the overall trend.

Yet Binance is not alone — Okex, Huobi, Bitfinex and Kraken have all seen their BTC balances tick up in the last 24 hours.
