This leaves the door open for another move higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what if the on-chain data is telling an entirely different story? Is it possible that Bitcoin&#8217;s latest leg higher is simply the deleveraging unwind and not a sign of fresh spot demand? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If so, then the move could well be just a short relief rally, setting the stage for an even bigger bearish September.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bitcoin weighs $9 billion liquidations against bearish signals<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a breakout past resistance, conviction is key.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, with regard to the positioning of investors ahead of September, that conviction seems to be fading. According to SoSoValue, Bitcoin ETFs saw over $201 million in net outflows on the 28th of August, thus ending a 9-day inflow streak. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, a contrasting trend in the current cycle may affect BTC\u2019s momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the chart below shows, smaller holders were the ones accumulating as Bitcoin dipped below $67k. In other words, wallets with less than 100 BTC saw heavy gross inflows. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But STHs are also among the first to cash in when the market turns risk-off or BTC fails to break key resistance, which could put more <a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/analyzing-bitcoins-14m-profit-milestone-btcs-next-move-hinges-on-this-level\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pressure<\/a> on Bitcoin around the $80k level.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_629167\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-629167\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3-4-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-629167 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3-4-1.png\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"680\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3-4-1.png 680w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3-4-1-300x149.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-629167\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Glassnode<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To exacerbate, this trend may already be starting to weigh on investors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a technical perspective, ETH\/BTC is sitting at a key breakout <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AshCrypto\/status\/2093772769679008086\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">level<\/a> with analysts expecting a major move ahead. However, with Bitcoin\u2019s spot demand weakening, STH supply rising, and sentiment turning bearish, BTC\u2019s setup is looking less convincing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If ETH\/BTC breaks higher while BTC struggles, it could signal that capital is rotating away from Bitcoin, adding further pressure to the September outlook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping this in mind, BTC\u2019s end-of-August rally could fail to deliver on its bullish promise. That\u2019s where these over $9 billion crypto liquidations come into play. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The majority of liquidations came from shorts, indicating that the recent move may have been driven primarily by a short squeeze and not strong buying. If so, Bitcoin\u2019s latest rally may fizzle out, leaving September on a bearish note.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Final Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"\" data-turn-id-container=\"request-WEB:68db3497-df26-4cee-b5dd-1c5aa97f5046-34\" data-is-intersecting=\"true\">\n<section class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [&amp;:has([data-writing-block])&gt;*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:68db3497-df26-4cee-b5dd-1c5aa97f5046-34\" data-turn-id-container=\"request-WEB:68db3497-df26-4cee-b5dd-1c5aa97f5046-34\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-42\" data-turn=\"assistant\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-8 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" data-conversation-screenshot-content=\"\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"0\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"e1a490f6-f3dc-4d0d-96d8-99a878c03dac\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-6-mini\" data-turn-start-message=\"true\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full dark markdown-new-styling\">\n<ul data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"181\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1krwuhe\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"94\"><em>Bitcoin\u2019s $9.71 billion liquidations were mostly short squeezes, raising doubts over the rally.<\/em><\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"k8g33r\" data-start=\"95\" data-end=\"181\" data-is-last-node=\"\"><em>Weak demand and rising STH supply could put Bitcoin under pressure in September.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s latest breakout faces a bearish test as over $9 billion in crypto liquidations hit the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":113,"featured_media":629165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,66,4,20],"tags":[6427],"class_list":["post-629162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bitcoin-news","category-new-news","category-social","category-trading-view","tag-ambcrypto"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.5) -
