According to the data, a break below $20,000 is needed to reset the key indicator, which includes taking speculative profits.
In the latest edition of its weekly newsletter, The Week On-Chain, analytics firm Glassnode reveals that short-term holders (STH) can dictate BTC price resistance.
Profit taking reinforces the resistance level
As BTC/USD moves towards $25,000, we basically start to see a STH (155 day coin hold).
This is captured in the Market Value Realized Value (MVRV) metric, which compares Bitcoin’s market capitalization to the value of the coins that move on-chain.
“By comparing these two indicators, MVRV can be used to understand whether prices are above or below ‘fair value’ and to assess the profitability of the market,” he said. This is explained in the attached guide.
MVRV is hitting a multi-month high above 1.2, which coincides with $23,800 as its resistance area for BTC price.
As Glassnode writes, “STH’s profit potential tends to increase during periods when the average STH is 20% or more, and above 1.2 it returns STH-MVRV.”
“The recent rejection at the $23.8,000 level resonates with this structure as STH-MVRV reached 1.2 before the stop,” it continued this week.
“If the market returns him 19.3 thousand USD, STH-MVRV returns to 1.0, indicating that the spot price has returned to the cost base of this new group of buyers.
So $19,300 is an attractive target for profitability and incentives for him not to sell STH.
As reported by Cointelegraph, its Glassnode is not alone in offering $20,000 as its BTC/USD support, with a new local low forming below that line. it can appear.
