Bitcoin’s grasp on altcoins
On June 7, Bitcoin (BTC) price dipped nearly 2%, causing many altcoins to shed close to double-digits, while some went overboard. Although BTC showed strength on Monday, it failed to sustain itself as sellers overwhelmed the buyers, leading to a brief visit at the $70,000 psychological level. As the pioneer crypto heads south, all eyes are fixated on the four-hour imbalance, extending from $64,733 to $62,984. This zone is key for sidelined buyers to accumulate BTC at a discount to give the uptrend another try.

The drop from the current level of $68,109 to the four-hour imbalance could stretch up to 7.60%. If such a move were to occur quickly, it could cause a further drop in open interest and liquidate millions of eager bulls.

According to a June 7 filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Nvidia Corp’s director, Coxe Tench, has sold off $119 million worth of NVDA shares.

The worst-case scenario would include both the aforementioned events occurring simultaneously. Either way, investors need to be cautious until BTC stabilizes or provides a directional bias.
