She suggests that further price declines may be ahead, as current on-chain data reveals that the market is in a significant &#8220;stress test&#8221; phase.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Diving into the data, Sunny <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/insights\/quicktake\/69b2d2560a88cf49117027d2-Is-BTC-Bottom-In-Not-Quite?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=sns&amp;utm_campaign=quicktake&amp;utm_content=sunnymom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">identifies <\/a>several key factors that indicate the challenges ahead for Bitcoin. First, she points to the 6-12 month cohort of investors, who are currently underwater due to their Realized Price (RP) being concentrated around $100,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This means that many of these mid-term holders are seeing losses, which could continue to exert downward pressure on prices until this imbalance resolves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sunny also highlights the MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio, which stands at 1.2. This figure is commonly regarded as a &#8220;DCA (Dollar-Cost Average) zone&#8221; for &#8220;smart money.&#8221; However, substantial cyclical bottoms typically require the MVRV to be less than 1.0, indicating a state of capitulation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the importance of long-term holders (LTHs) cannot be overstated. A sustainable price floor generally requires that LTHs\u2014those who have held their positions for over two years\u2014constitute more than 20% of the Realized Cap.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Currently, they make up only about 15%, suggesting that the market lacks the robust structural support needed for a strong recovery. She outlines two potential paths for how Bitcoin could find its bottom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Two Potential Paths To Find A True Bottom<\/h2>\n<p>The first involves a &#8220;Black Swan&#8221; event\u2014a sudden crash that triggers forced liquidations among high-cost investors. Although painful, Sunny believes this scenario could lead to a faster establishment of a solid Bitcoin price floor, potentially within one to two months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The second path, referred to as &#8220;The Great Boring,&#8221; envisions institutions maintaining their positions, allowing Bitcoin to trade in the $60,000 to $80,000 range for an extended period.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The analyst asserts that this would enable new investments to mature into long-term holdings, setting the stage for a bottoming process that could extend into late 2026 or early 2027.<\/p>\n<p>While the market may be at a &#8220;Value Bottom&#8221; conducive to long-term dollar-cost averaging, Sunny\u2019s analysis suggests that a true &#8220;Structural Bottom&#8221; for Bitcoin has yet to form. Consequently, she noted that volatility within the $60,000 to $70,000 range is anticipated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/GO5UrDFV\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"1814\" height=\"981\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Featured image from OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin (BTC) made a notable recovery on Friday, witnessing a 4% surge that led the leading cryptocurrency to retest the critical $74,000 resistance level, which has remained unbroken for the past month.\u00a0 However, even with this upward movement, the cryptocurrency has retraced to approximately $72,215, establishing itself at the upper boundary of its ongoing consolidation&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10608,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[56,249,55,69,250,61,120,121,62,36,85,43],"class_list":["post-10607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bitcoin-news","tag-bitcoin","tag-bitcoin-chart","tag-bitcoin-news","tag-bitcoin-price","tag-bitcoin-technical-analysis","tag-btc","tag-btc-news","tag-btc-price","tag-btcusdt","tag-crypto","tag-crypto-market","tag-crypto-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
