On-Chain Data Signals Bitcoin Correction Ahead: Here Are 2 Levels To Watch

Bitcoin has returned above $104,000 following a rather turbulent trading week. As a matter over a GOP tax bill morphed into a major fallout between US President Donald Trump and the world’s richest man Elon Musk, the crypto market experienced significant levels of outflows with Bitcoin prices dipping as low as $101,000 on Thursday. While there has been a modest price rebound in the last 24 hours, the maiden cryptocurrency remains in danger of a price deeper correction.

Bitcoin Bulls Eye Support Near $103,700 And $95,600

In an X post on Friday, analytics company Glassnode shared a potentially impactful on-chain data insight on the BTC market amidst a price correction that has lasted over the past two weeks. During this time, Bitcoin prices have dipped from its current all-time high of $111,970 to its recent low of $100,516. Presently, Glassnode explains that BTC long-term holders are slowly offloading their holdings with the absence of a clear positive market catalyst indicating that the present price correction might persist for the short-term. In such a scenario, the analytics firm has identified two potential support zones using the Work of Cost (WOC) price model.

Bitcoin

For context, the WOC price model by measures Bitcoin value on cost basis by tracking the acquisition price for currently circulating coins. The WOC displays BTC supply in Spendable Supply Distribution (SSD) or Cost Basis Distribution (CBD) quantiles which reflects the distribution of coin acquisition prices. If Bitcoin’ price correction persists, Glassnode’s WOC indicates the next major support lies at the $103,700 which aligns with the 0.95 SSD quantile i.e. the price at which 95% of circulating (spendable) bitcoin have a lower acquisition price meaning only 5% of Bitcoin supply was bought higher than this price point. If selling pressure proves overwhelming at this first support level, Bitcoin is expected to hit its next price floor at the 0.85 SSD quantile around the $96,500 indicating a potential price decline of 7.2% from current market prices and 13.8% from BTC’s market high. Interestingly, this projected price drawdown still falls within a healthy correction range within a broader bull rally. Nevertheless, the bull rally must soon discover a positive market rally rather in the form of marco quantitative easing, increased institutional investments or ETF inflows among others.

BTC Market Overview

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $104,418 reflecting a 2.98% price gain in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, the asset’s daily trading volume has dipped by 20.02% and is valued at $51.67 billion.

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.

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.
