Bitcoin pulled back again early Wednesday on the heels of a recent bull run.
- The cryptocurrency was trading near its 200-hour moving average (MA) and close to its support at $54,500 earlier today, representing a 2.6% drop on the day. That follows a 2.58% decline on Tuesday.
- The average acted as strong support during the U.S. trading hours on Tuesday.
- The relative strength index (RSI) on the hourly and four-hour charts remains in bearish territory below 50, and so a continued decline cannot be ruled out.
- Acceptance under the 200-hour MA would expose support at $50,000.
- Bulls will need to clear the lower high at $56,612 created during Asian trading hours to take greater control and attack resistance at $60,000.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
