In the last 48 hours, Bitcoin\u2019s price behavior <\/span>has brought it closer to<\/span><\/a> the $80,000 price point once more, with the potential for a downturn. Analyzing on-chain metrics highlights a significant support area between $80,920 and $78,000 <\/span>that needs to remain intact.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Associated Reading<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Specifically, on-chain analysis from Glassnode indicates a weakening support at the $78,000 level, where just a few cost basis clusters exist. This observation follows a significant shift that saw savvy traders purchase close to 15,000 Bitcoin at the March 10 nadir before selling at the local peak of $87,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

Support Cushion Increases With Clusters Between $80,000 And $84,000<\/b><\/h2>\n

Bitcoin commenced March with a drastic drop that drove its price below $77,000 on March 10 and 11. Much of the month involved Bitcoin recuperating from this position, eventually reaching as high as $88,500 last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interestingly, <\/span>on-chain analytics from <\/span><\/a>Glassnode reveal that some Bitcoin investors seized the opportunity during the drop <\/span>and acquired<\/span><\/a> roughly 15,000 BTC at this low point. Nevertheless, many addresses from this group sold at the $87,000 local peak, leaving behind an exhausted buffer zone that might not provide the same price stability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin’s most robust cost basis clusters have gradually moved upward from $78,000 throughout the month, with the key support levels currently located between $80,920 and $84,100. Approximately 20,000 BTC were obtained at $80,920, 50,000 BTC at $82,090, and an additional 40,000 BTC around $84,100. These recent accumulations now represent new confidence areas among recent purchasers that may provide cushions against the recent market downturn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, Bitcoin is being traded at $83,120, indicating a loss of the buffer zone of 40,000 BTC around $84,100. This responsibility shifts to the $82,090 and subsequently, the $80,920 price levels. However, if the decline sharpens further, structural support might not reappear until after $78,000, <\/span>emerging at $74,000 and $71,000, where long-term conviction purchasing had occurred, estimated at 49,000 BTC and 41,000 BTC, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

$95,000 Cost Basis Cluster Expands With Diminished Demand<\/b><\/h2>\n

As support continues to gradually escalate, <\/span>resistance appears to be solidifying <\/span><\/a>near the $95,000 threshold. Data on investor cost basis indicates a rise of 12,000 BTC clustered at this level since March 24. <\/span><\/p>\n

BTC is currently priced at $83,481. Chart: TradingView<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This suggests that some investors now foresee a peak forming around $95,000, and selling pressures may intensify if prices approach that region. <\/span>This resistance, paired with the support levels, could confine Bitcoin within a narrowing range in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Associated Reading<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Glassnode data<\/span> verifies that <\/span><\/a>long-term holders (addresses retaining Bitcoin for over 150 days) have predominantly engaged in profit-taking recently. The profit-taking from long-term holders is now almost equaled by the <\/span>losses suffered by<\/span><\/a> short-term traders who have maintained Bitcoin for less than 155 days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
