Bitcoin Pricing Bands Hint At Potential $117,000 Target – Details

Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez has identified the immediate important Bitcoin (BTC) price levels using the MVRV extreme deviation pricing bands model. Notably, the premier cryptocurrency has remained in consolidation between $101,000 – $104,000 for most of the week despite news of a 90-day tariff pause between the US and China.

Pricing Bands: Next Resistance At $116,900, Support At $98,131

The Bitcoin MVRV extreme deviation bands are statistical bands based on standard deviations of the MVRV ratio from its historical mean. They help identify extreme overvaluation and undervaluation in the Bitcoin market, and thus are useful tools in pointing out resistance and support levels. According to the chart presented by Ali Martinez on May 16, Bitcoin’s next major resistance lies at $116,901, which aligns with the +1σ (standard deviation) MVRV band. A price break above this level would signify a risky overvaluation of BTC’s price and an overheated market, hinting at much potential for profit taking.

On the other hand, the premier cryptocurrency’s immediate support is around $98,131, represented by the 0.5σ MVRV band. A sustained price action above this level would indicate that Bitcoin remains in a bullish valuation zone. On the other hand, a price break below this level would suggest cooling momentum or open the door to deeper retracements. Meanwhile, the mean MVRV band stands at $79,361 and serves as a fair value anchor. If BTC prices fall to this level, it would present the ideal accumulation opportunity for a potential market rebound. However, price falls to lower MVRV bands at -0.5σ ($60,590) and -1σ ($41,820) would indicate bearish retracements and cycle bottoms, respectively.

Bitcoin Holders Sit On 120% Unrealized Gains

In other news, Martinez’s MVRV pricing bands chart also shows that Bitcoin’s realized price currently stands at $45,504. With the current market price, this data suggests that the average BTC investor is sitting on significant unrealized gains potential as high as 120%. At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $103,529 following a 0.87% decline in the last 24 hours and 0.10% in the past week amidst the ongoing market consolidation. However, the premier cryptocurrency is up by 22.62% in the past week as bullish forces remain dominant. Presently, Bitcoin’s next resistance lies at the $105,000, a convincing price close above which could spur a further rise to the current all-time high around $109,000.  If BTC successfully breaks through both resistance levels, it would enter price discovery territory, potentially accelerating gains toward the projected target around $117,000.

Bitcoin ETFs Post Second Straight Week Of $500 Million Outflow — Details

This recent run of disappointing performances reflects the ongoing shift in investor sentiment in the United States. Over the past year, strong inflows into the US Bitcoin ETF market have constantly been associated with positive action for the BTC price. Fittingly, the price of Bitcoin has been consolidating over the past few weeks, struggling to pick up any real momentum. Bitcoin ETFs Record Fourth Consecutive Outflow Day According to the latest market data , the US Bitcoin ETFs registered a total daily outflow of $62.77 million on Friday, February 21. This latest round of withdrawals marked the fourth straight day (and the eighth day in the last nine trading days) that the crypto-based products would witness a net capital outflow. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (with the ticker GBTC) accounted for a larger percentage of Friday’...

Bitcoin Remains Range-Bound As Volatility Declines – Analyst Explains Price Action

Bitcoin has experienced frustrating price action in recent weeks, leaving investors impatient about its short-term direction. The price has been testing crucial supply levels between $98K and $100K, struggling to break out as uncertainty dominates the market. The lack of a clear move has led to speculation about whether BTC is preparing for a breakout or another correction. Adding to the uncertainty, the market was hit by negative news on Friday when crypto exchange Bybit was hacked, resulting in the theft of $1.4 billion in ETH. The incident caused fear and volatility, briefly dragging prices lower. However, Bybit responded quickly to reassure investors, easing some of the initial panic and stabilizing the market. Despite this, Bitcoin continues to consolidate in a tight range. Crypto expert Daan shared an analysis on X, noting that BTC is still ranging while volatility is steadily decreasing. As price compression increases, traders are on high alert for a potential explosive move....

OpenSea Dodges A Bullet As SEC Drops Investigation—Details

In a move that many in the crypto industry view as a positive signal, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially discontinued its investigation into OpenSea, the leading NFT marketplace. This decision concludes months of uncertainty regarding the regulatory status of NFTs and their classification under US securities laws. SEC Decision Signals A Shift On February 21, 2025, Devin Finzer, the CEO and co-founder of OpenSea, said the SEC will not take any enforcement action against the firm. This comes following the August 2024 Wells Notice to OpenSea issued by the SEC, which indicated the possibility of legal action on alleged unregistered securities offenses. The outcome of this case suggests a possible shift in the way authorities handle NFTs, therefore affecting the whole scene of digital assets. For the industry, this outcome has been seen as a major turning point. Though they are in rivalry with OpenSea, Chris Akhavan, the Chief Business Officer of Magic Eden,...
