Bitcoin\u2019s price action in the past 48 hours has seen it approaching<\/a> the $80,000 price level again, with risks of breaking to the downside. Looking at on-chain data shows a notable support level between $80,920 and $78,000 that must not be broken.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Particularly, on-chain analytics from Glassnode point to a thinning of support at the $78,000 level, where only minimal cost basis clusters now exist. The insight follows a sharp move that saw savvy traders scoop up nearly 15,000 Bitcoin at the March 10 low before cashing out at the $87,000 local top.<\/p>\n

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

Bitcoin started the month of March with a crazy crash that saw its price hit below $77,000 on March 10 and March 11. Most of the month was spent by Bitcoin embarking on a recovery from this level, eventually reaching as high as $88,500 last week.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, on-chain data from <\/a>Glassnode shows that some Bitcoin traders took advantage of the crash and bought<\/a> about 15,000 BTC at this low. However, many addresses from this same cohort sold at the $87,000 local top, leaving behind a depleted buffer zone that may no longer offer the same price stability.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s strongest cost basis clusters have steadily migrated upward from $78,000 throughout the month, with the most prominent support levels now sitting between $80,920 and $84,100. Approximately 20,000 BTC were acquired at $80,920, 50,000 BTC at $82,090, and another 40,000 BTC at around $84,100. These fresh accumulations are now the new zones of confidence among recent buyers that may offer cushions for the recent market dip.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $83,120, meaning that it has lost the zone of 40,000 BTC around $84,100. This puts the onus on $82,090 and, subsequently, the $80,920 price levels. However, if the correction sharpens further, it wouldn\u2019t be until after $78,000 that structural support reappears<\/a> at $74,000 and $71,000, where long-term conviction buying occurred, estimated at 49,000 BTC and 41,000 BTC, respectively.<\/p>\n\n

$95,000 Cost Basis Cluster Grows With Cooling Demand<\/h2>\n

As support continues to climb gradually, resistance appears to be firming <\/a>near the $95,000 mark. Investor cost basis data shows an increase of 12,000 BTC clustered at this level since March 24. <\/p>\n

This implies that some investors now anticipate a top forming around $95,000, and selling activity could become more pronounced if prices approach that zone. This resistance, alongside the support levels, could see Bitcoin confined within a narrowing range in the short term.<\/p>\n

Glassnode data confirms that <\/a>long-term holders (addresses holding Bitcoin for more than 150 days) have been the primary source of profit-taking for a while. Long-term holders\u2019 profit-taking is now nearly matched by the losses endured by<\/a> short-term traders who have been holding Bitcoin for less than 155 days.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
