This week’s $11,000 drop occurred in just 32 hours and this definitely an important milestone for Bitcoin price. 

Many mainstream media outlets perceived the correction as the start of a new bear market but data simply does not support this line of thinking.

Bitcoin price may have corrected 26.5% as if dropped to retest the $30,300 support but it has since shown significant strength amidst a record-high $160 billion in derivatives volume.

Spot exchanges also outpaced their previous record high that was set just three days ago on Jan 9 as BTC/USD soared to a new all-time high at $41,950.

The incredible $27.7 billion in volume seen on Jan 11 was 60% higher than the previous peak.

By itself, Binance exchange-traded $9 billion worth of BTC/USD which is more than double the entire industry average seen in December 2020.

GBTC still has a noticeable premium

Although this event might have spooked some buyers, looking under the hood, it is a very healthy sign. Another factor to consider is that Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) funds added 72,950 BTC in December but suspended new shares issuance on Dec 24.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin almost doubled from $23,200 to its $42,000 peak.
