Bitcoin Price Crash Risk Looms After 9% Bounce, 90% Profit Surge Signals Seller Rebound

Bitcoin (BTC) price rebounded 9% from February 12-15, but technical indicators suggest the rally may accelerate a crash toward $58,800. Futures open interest surged 9.6%, reaching $21.47 billion, while funding rates turned positive, revealing aggressive long bets. However, hidden bearish divergence emerged: price formed lower highs while RSI showed higher highs, signaling weakening momentum.

On-chain data confirms profit-taking risks, with Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) spiking 90% to 0.21, its highest since February 4 when BTC crashed 14% from $73,000. Analysts warn that fresh profits could trigger rapid selling if prices retreat below $66,270, the bear flag pattern’s critical support. A breakdown here could extend losses to $58,880, aligning with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level.

Short-term buyers need $70,840 to stabilize the rally, but until $79,290 is breached, downside risk dominates.
