Updated: Dec 27 2025- Price Behavior Analysis: Bitcoin's price is gradually drifting lower towards its realized price of $56,200 after failing to maintain momentum above the $100,000–$110,000 range, indicating a potential for further downside in the short term.
- Historical Pattern Reemergence: The analysis shows that Bitcoin typically retraces towards its realized price after reaching cycle highs, with the current market structure resembling previous corrective phases in 2017 and 2021-2022, suggesting a similar dynamic may unfold again.
- Distribution Signals Emerge: Data indicates that Bitcoin has slipped into a distribution range akin to previous post-peak phases, where buyers become increasingly cautious and recent highs remain unclaimed, reinforcing the notion of stalled price discovery.
- Long-Term Holder Confidence: Despite the weakening market price, the realized price line continues to rise, suggesting that long-term holders are not capitulating, reflecting a higher aggregate cost basis even as spot prices correct.
