This selling is also backed by the fact that investors’ deposits spiked to a five-month high. Historically, spikes on this metric have only been observed at peak prices thatmark the market top. Usually, this is proceeded by selling and correction. But this time around, the spike is not the result of a market top but just selling since the price is at a six-month low right now.

Therefore, this is an indication of the excessive bearishness, pessimism and fear of losses in the investors, which is also noted by the sudden jump in their participation. Active investors akin to active deposits observed a spike over the last week, wherein their numbers grew from 199 to 419, marking a 110% increase.

However, if the same investors stop selling, they could potentially pull the price back up toward the barrier at $7.25, which also coincides with the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
