New Bitcoin whales raise risk of BTC pullback toward $85K

Analysts say Bitcoin’s volatile price action reflects an increasing risk of distribution as new BTC whales dominate short-term flows. Is a drop to $85,000 in play for the short term?
Bitcoin (BTC) has struggled to regain momentum after the price dipped below $90,000 on Tuesday, with multiple analysts pointing to continued selling pressure in the short term.
