While bitcoin holds near $63,000, some data points to pain ahead for bulls
Bitcoin is currently trading near $63,000, but on-chain data suggests potential downward pressure as institutional demand from ETFs slows. While the market is currently in a pause rather than a panic, analysts warn that a recovery requires renewed institutional interest and a clearing of forced sellers.
Why it matters
The analysis provides insight into the current state of the cryptocurrency market, highlighting the shift from institutional accumulation to potential selling pressure.
The largest cryptocurrency is now only 9% above its realized price of about $53,600, according to onchain analysis firm CryptoQuant. Realized price is the average of the prices at which the coins last moved. When the market price gets close, the average holder is barely in profit. That level has marked major bear-market floors in past cycles.
