Grade Bbearish AI signal$BTC$XAU
Gold settled 0.6% lower at $4,036 an ounce ahead of the Federal Reserve's rate decision, while Bitcoin faces potential selling pressure from long-term holders who bought at higher prices.
Glassnode analysts estimate that about 4 million BTC were acquired between $85,000 and $118,000, leaving those holdings underwater near $80,000, while fading ETF demand adds to the challenge.
Bitcoin's recovery toward $85,000 could trigger profit-neutralizing sales from underwater holders, potentially capping upside, while gold could face further pressure if firm economic data strengthens the dollar.
