Bitcoin Struggles Under Key Adjusted Realized Price — Why It Matters

Over the past two months, the Bitcoin (BTC) price has tried in vain to reclaim an $80,000 valuation, with prices in this period peaking at approximately $76,000. Interestingly, a market analyst has recently explained that this is due to a significant price level acting as resistance.

Adjusted Realized Price Poses Resistance To Recovery Attempts 

In an X post on March 28, On-chain analyst Darkfost highlighted the underlying dynamics behind Bitcoin’s recent troubles. This analysis is based on readings from the BTC Realized Price Excluding >7Y Supply, a metric that reflects the cost basis of circulating supply,  but with the exclusion of those aged seven years or older, aimed at filtering out diamond hands (that is, both lost and unmoving BTC).

 

Presently, this adjusted realized price sits at around $72,500, a level above which Bitcoin has struggled to see sustained price action for the past two months. Citing previous historical cycles, Darkfost asserts that similar conditions have often coincided with extended bearish phases.

According to the market quant, Bitcoin has previously spent between six and 10 months below this investor cost basis during extended bear markets without a decisive reclaim. This indicates that a repeat of historical patterns could cause the Bitcoin market to experience additional months of negative price growth, despite the bear market that has already lasted six months.

BTC Market Overview

As of press time, Bitcoin trades for $66,629, reflecting a gain of almost 1% in the past day. Interestingly, CoinMarketCap data show that the BTC market has barely moved over the past month, with a 1.27% downside deviation. According to renowned market analyst Ali Martinez, the premier cryptocurrency has gained more attention from traders in the last month, likely driven by observed high price volatility.

Based on data from CryptoQuant, Bitcoin Open Interest, i.e., outstanding trade contracts, reached around $30 billion in mid-March, marking the highest level seen in 2026. Notably, most of these transactions are occurring on the Binance exchange, where traders have recently initiated an additional $829 million in Open Interest.

Following the Bitcoin price struggles since October 2025, the market requires a bullish flip in defining factors such as macroeconomics, liquidity availability, and demand presence to initiate a recovery. However, until the market conditions become more indicative of an optimistic future, the Bitcoin market might indeed be in for a rough period in the months to come.

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

The US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) recorded their second consecutive week of significant outflows over the last five-day trading period. 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 Goes Official: Texas Becomes 1st US State With BTC Reserve

Everything is big in Texas, many would say. Today, the state is looking past its current state of finances by adding Bitcoin to its coffers–and making things bigger in terms of its economic implications. Texas became the first US state to establish a crypto reserve . On March 7, 2025, legislators passed Senate Bill 21, which gives the green light to the state to direct public funds toward Bitcoin and other digital assets. The action has elicited both support and concern, with some viewing it as a prudent financial hedge and others warning of potential pitfalls. A Push For Bitcoin In The Lone Star State For months, Texas has been seeing increasing favor for the idea of a Bitcoin reserve. Senator Charles Schwertner introduced SB 778, a measure that proposes establishing a strategic stockpile. Including the top crypto asset into the state’s financial reserves was meant to help cushion inflation and economic uncertainty. Texas officials, especially Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, wh...
