Bitcoin has experienced a turbulent week in the market, with a 4.65% fall in its market price over the last seven days. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has issued a warning, stating that Bitcoin faces the risk of further losses unless it can reclaim a specific support zone. According to Martinez, Bitcoin needs to surge above $66,254 to avoid a potential decline to around $61,100, as indicated by the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) chart generated by Glassnode.
For context, Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) refers to units of Bitcoin that remain unspent after a transaction. Each UTXO has a realized price, representing the market price at the time of the transaction. The UTXO Realized Price Distribution chart breaks down Bitcoin’s supply based on these realized prices, providing insights into market sentiment, distribution analysis, and support and resistance levels. By studying this data, investors can analyze behavior patterns and identify potential resistance or support levels.
Martinez shared an URPD chart highlighting key levels for Bitcoin’s support. The chart revealed that 504,619 BTC was acquired at $66,254, indicating a strong potential support level amidst the ongoing downtrend. Additionally, the next significant support level was at $61,101, with 191,366 BTC purchased at that price. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $66,151, showing a 1.15% decline in the last day. The daily trading volume for Bitcoin was also down by 5.54%, standing at $25.4 billion. However, the cryptocurrency still maintained a 5.80% gain on the monthly chart, which is a positive sign for long-term traders.
Despite the bearish sentiment in the market, the fear and greed index stood at 74, indicating current optimism and risk-taking behavior among investors. This highlights the potential for high market volatility, with investors willing to take risks in the current market conditions. As Bitcoin continues to navigate through uncertain territory, understanding support and resistance levels based on UTXO data can provide valuable insights for traders and investors alike.
