 Although the flash crash caught many longs off guard, some analysts and traders saw this coming. One analysts, @CryptoTony on X, sees the dump as an opportunity to buy the dip. Dumps are for loading up,” he said.

 Another analyst, @CryptoJelleNL, says the dump is merely shaking off froth.
 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

 Meanwhile, all eyes remain on the upcoming Bitcoin halving in just over two weeks. The landmark event is widely expected to kickstart the next bull cycle.
 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

 With this in mind, some investors are positioning for more upside. According to Head of Research at Uphold Inc., @MHiesboeck on X, “…institutions and whales have bought more than 12,000 BTC mostly on Coinbase and Kraken and removed them to the private wallets.”
 The researcher also notes that small investors (retail) continue to cash in on every spike, while the wealthy (large holders) buy every wick.”

 Elsewhere, blockchain tracker @whale_alert has flagged multiple transactions by large holders, as they prepare for the pre-halving rally.
 <ul>
 <li>The first whale moved&nbsp;1,000 BTC&nbsp;tokens worth $68.54 million from Bitfinex exchange to a new unknown wallet.</li>
 <li>A dormant address holding&nbsp;500 BTC&nbsp;worth around $34.72 million was activated after 11.7 years.</li>
 <li>The third whale moved&nbsp;1,500 BTC&nbsp;worth $103.08 million from an unknown wallet to another unknown wallet.</li>
 <li>At approximately 07:00 GMT, a fourth whale moved 75,887,800 USDT worth around $75.8 million from an unknown wallet to Coinbase Institutional. Notably, stablecoin movement to exchanges is a clear intention to buy.</li>
 </ul>
 Glassnode has also observed new capital into the asset class as old whales sell BTC to new whales at higher prices.

 The Bitcoin price closed the first quarter up 64%, making it the third-best quarter over the past three years, much of that due to the arrival of spot BTC ETFs (exchange-traded funds).

 The Bitcoin price could drop to the midline of the lower section of the market range at around $64,700 as part of a mean reversal as the downtrend continues. Overhead pressure is growing, seen with the position of the 50-, 100-, and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA) offering resistance at $69,674, $67,615, and $67,420.
 Besides the SMAs, other bearish indicators include the nose-diving Relative Strength Index, suggesting falling momentum and the position of the Awesome Oscillator (AO) in negative territory. Beyond the above, the volume indicator is also showing red bars, suggesting a growing bearish sentiment.
 In the dire case where $64,700 fails to hold as support, the Bitcoin price could extend the fall all the way to the bottom of the market range at $62,000 before BTC is safe to buy.

 On the other hand, if sidelined and late bulls jump in, Bitcoin price could stage a recovery. This could see Bitcoin price climb to overcome resistance presented by the SMAs. A decisive candlestick close above the 50% Fibonacci placeholder of $67,621 would encourage more buy orders.
 Confirmation of the end of the pullback will happen upon a candlestick close above the 50-day SMA at $69,674. This would constitute a climb of around 7% above current levels.
 In a highly ambitious case, the Bitcoin price could reclaim the $73,777 peak, before marking another all-time high above the $74,000 threshold.
 Meanwhile, in anticipation of a huge Bitcoin rally fired by the halving, forward-looking investors are flocking to the BTCMTX presale, which has raised upwards of $12.8 million.
