Bitcoin Struggles at $110,000 as Traders Pull Back Across Markets
Bitcoin’s $110,000 support is under pressure as futures and spot traders lean bearish. Without renewed demand, BTC risks sliding to $107,557.
Bitcoin is trading 10% below its all-time high, pressured by heavy profit-taking that has wiped out some of its value since August 14.
The leading cryptocurrency now trades around the $110,000 level, with on-chain signals suggesting a deeper correction could be imminent.
BTC Futures Traders Retreat as Selloffs Continue
On-chain data shows that sell-side pressure continues to mount, threatening to push BTC below the psychological $110,000 threshold.
One of the most telling signs is BTC’s Taker-Buy Sell Ratio, which has been predominantly negative since July. At press time, it stands at 0.96 per CryptoQuant, indicating that sell orders dominate buy orders across the coin’s futures market.

An asset’s taker buy-sell ratio measures the ratio between the buy and sell volumes in its futures market. Values above one indicate more buy than sell volume, while values below one suggest that more futures traders are selling their holdings.
For BTC, this trend indicates that its futures traders are pulling back from aggressive bullish bets, adding to the pressure already weighing on the market. It shows a lack of conviction among derivatives traders that the king coin could see a notable near-term recovery.
Bitcoin Spot Traders Turn Sellers
The trend is no different among spot market participants. Per CryptoQuant’s data, Bitcoin’s Spot Taker CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta, 90-day), which tracks net buying and selling activity in the spot market over a 90-day period, flipped from “neutral” on August 18.
Since then, it has consistently posted red bars, signaling that sellers are dominating spot market activity.

This shift into a taker-sell dominant phase for BTC reflects fading demand and weaker buy-side absorption of increasing supply. With spot traders increasingly offloading rather than accumulating, the imbalance heightens the risk of further downside.
$110,000 Support Under Siege Amid Fading Demand
As demand thins across both spot and futures markets, leading coin BTC risks plunging below $110,000. In this scenario, the coin’s price could fall to $107,557, its next major support level.

However, if buyers regain dominance and drive a rally, they could drive BTC’s price to $111,961. A breach of this wall could trigger a move to $115 892.

Foreign investors have made net sales of $31 billion in Indian stocks this year, and administrative controls are accelerating hedging demand towards the offshore NDF market, with the effectiveness of interventions continuously diminishing.

India faces a dilemma: persisting on the current path will exhaust policy space, while relying on rate hikes to rebuild the yield spread would directly stifle economic growth.
