Btc sees 150000 coin outflow as volume drops 25 billion

Bitcoin saw significant selling by short-term holders that prevented a sustained break above the $80,000 level, with on-chain data showing roughly 150,000 BTC moved to exchanges since April 15. Trading volumes have contracted sharply — Binance lost about $25 billion, Gate.io $13 billion and OKX ~$6 billion over the past month — signaling weaker market participation. Liquidation activity spiked ($604m closed in 24 hours) and a seven-day liquidation indicator turned positive (+28.7 on April 30), while open interest fell from over 300,000 BTC to ~292,000. Analysts say without renewed volume and rising open interest, BTC is likely to consolidate around the $77,000 resistance zone.
