Sales scarcity and volatility in the BTC order book in sight

If we take a close look at the Binance order book (I know we could look at the general one but I like this one) after the recent drop of BTC, we can notice an interesting fact: there are very few sales available. Even with a filter of 100, very high sales levels are reached, going up to orders of 110k. This dynamic suggests that, in the face of fear of deeper drops, many retail investors are selling, while stronger hands (whether institutions or large whales) are taking advantage of these dips to accumulate, placing sell orders well above current prices.

Why is this relevant? Because, with so few offers available in the market, any significant demand movement — for example, if a large company needs BTC and cannot find them at “low” prices — could push the price to seek those higher sales levels. This imbalance between sales scarcity and future buying needs can generate significant volatility.

Remember that these big players usually invest with a 1 to 5-year outlook, without short-term pressures, they simply take advantage of buying and selling quickly before holding and increasing the amount of Bitcoin to hold. This long-term positioning allows them to sustain prices, concentrate supply, and ultimately impact the market more forcefully.

In summary, the limitation of sales at high levels and the silent accumulation of large players could translate into sharp and rapid price movements, marking the course of volatility in the coming days or weeks. Here I attach the image of the order book so you can observe it for yourself.
