Bitcoin Stalls Below $104K Amid Derivatives Market Pressure

• Bitcoin surged above $104,000 earlier this week, marking a nearly 10% weekly gain.
• The current trading price is $103,663, reflecting a 1.7% increase over the past 24 hours.
• Analyst Darkfost attributes the slowdown to negative cumulative net taker volume in the derivatives market.
• This negative volume indicates more aggressive sell orders than buy orders, suggesting short-term uncertainty.
• Technical analyst Javon Marks notes a bull flag pattern that could signal continued bullish momentum.

Bitcoin’s recent surge has hit resistance at just over $104,000, with derivatives market activity showing persistent downward pressure due to negative net taker volume. Despite this, technical indicators suggest potential for further gains.
