TREE NEWS reports: Bitcoin fell from $85,500 to $83,900 early on October 7 before recovering slightly to $84,100, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. said, with aggressive sell orders dominating and long positions forcibly liquidated. The taker buy/sell pressure oscillator dropped to -4.9 before rebounding to -3.1, while the liquidation pressure oscillator fell from -11 to -78, reflecting dominant long liquidations. Sustained trading below $83,900 with both gauges deeply negative could signal more persistent selling pressure.
Bitcoin dips below $84K as sell pressure and long liquidations mount
The notable detail is the divergence between the two gauges: buy/sell pressure was only mildly negative and already rebounding, while liquidation pressure deepened sharply, meaning the drop was driven less by broad spot selling than by forced unwinding of leveraged longs. That distinction matters for anyone watching derivatives positioning, since liquidation-driven moves can exhaust themselves faster than organic distribution. Whether price holds above the $83,900 level while both gauges stay negative is the open question.
