Bitcoin’s move below $77,000 was not an isolated weakness signal. Binance data shows aggressive selling pressure rising sharply across both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

For Bitcoin, Binance Taker Sell Volume crossed the $1 billion level twice during the latest market window.

The first major spike came on May 15, when aggressive sell volume reached around $1.5 billion. The second came as Bitcoin dropped below $77,000 for the first time since the beginning of May, with taker sell volume rising above $1.1 billion.

Ethereum showed a similar pattern.

Binance Taker Sell Volume also climbed above $1.1 billion as ETH moved toward levels below $2,100.

This cross-asset timing is important because it suggests that selling pressure was not limited to Bitcoin alone.

Taker Sell Volume tracks market sell orders executed against available bids.

In simple terms, it reflects aggressive sellers choosing to exit immediately rather than waiting with passive limit orders.

When this metric spikes during price declines, it often points to forced de-risking or strong short-term bearish pressure from active market participants.

The key signal here is synchronization.

Bitcoin and Ethereum both saw large aggressive sell-volume spikes on Binance while testing important downside levels.

This does not necessarily confirm the start of a deeper downtrend. However, it shows that sellers were clearly in control during the move. For bullish momentum to recover, the market would likely need to see aggressive sell volume cool down while price stabilizes above key support levels.
