Bitcoin Falls Below $115,000 As Binance Buying Power Ratio Collapses

Earlier today, Bitcoin (BTC) slipped below $115,000 for the first time since August 6, raising concerns that the cryptocurrency’s bullish momentum may be fading. Against this backdrop, the Binance Buying Power Ratio suggests that demand for BTC could be weakening, potentially setting the stage for a deeper price correction.

Binance Buying Power Ratio Raises Alarms

According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor Crazzyblockk, the Binance Buying Power Ratio serves as a reliable indicator of overall market health. The analyst explained that the current reading points to a possible downturn for Bitcoin.

To explain, the ratio measures stablecoin inflows against Bitcoin outflows on Binance, essentially showing how much new capital is available to buy BTC compared to how much is leaving the exchange. A rising ratio reflects strong buying power and liquidity, while a sharp drop signals weaker demand and a greater risk of correction.

Recently, the ratio suffered a steep decline, issuing what the analyst called a “textbook warning” just before BTC’s latest price drop. The correction saw Bitcoin fall from as high as $124,474 on August 13 to a low of $114,786 earlier today.

The analyst noted that the ratio peaked at 2.01 on August 14, showing peak buying pressure where for every $1 of BTC moving to cold storage, more than $2 in stablecoins entered the market. 

In the following days – from August 16 to 17 – the ratio witnessed a sharp reversal, crashing to -0.81 within 48 hours. As a result, more buying power left Binance than entered it, confirming that the BTC market’s primary fuel source was exhausted.

Subsequently, BTC underwent a sustained price correction, falling 4.7% over the past seven days. Currently, the cryptocurrency is hovering slightly below $115,000, while its next major support lies around the $110,000 level. Crazzyblockk concluded:

This analysis proves that Binance is the market’s center of gravity. Its capital flows are an early warning system. A falling Buying Power Ratio signals exhausted liquidity and high correction risk. For any serious analyst, monitoring Binance isn’t optional – it’s essential.

How Will Bitcoin Perform In September?

If Bitcoin avoids slipping below $110,000, the short-term holder cost basis model suggests its next major resistance lies around $127,000. A strong breakout above this level could send BTC climbing toward $140,000.

In a separate X post, crypto analyst KillaXBT said BTC must hold above $115,787 to target the $125,000 – $127,000 range in September. However, the analyst warned that even if Bitcoin opens the month with a fresh all-time high, it may not guarantee sustained bullish momentum. At press time, BTC trades at $114,988, down 2.4% in the past 24 hours.
