However, the five-minute window records a short-heavy 59.90%, suggesting a jump in selling pressure at ultra-short intervals. The broader market remains dominated by selling pressure, though some assets like HYPE have shown buying activity with a long share of 53.59% (57.66% in the one-hour window) before a sudden flip to short dominance in ultra-short timeframes.

Whale positions differ across exchanges.
Binance’s whale accounts show extreme bearishness on BTC, ETH, and SOL, while OKX displays an “extremely bullish” stance on BTC. Given the mid-term prevalence of shorts, there remains downward pressure over the longer horizon, though select assets like XRP, HYPE, and XAUT exhibit rising long allocations in shorter windows, hinting at potential near-term rebound. The price action around key support and resistance zones continues to guide direction, with a broad consolidation roughly in the $65,000–$69,000 range underscoring the balance between short-term rallies and medium-term corrections.
