The premier cryptocurrency continues to hover around the $62,000 mark, reflecting a mere 0.3% decline in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Recent on-chain data suggests that the price of Bitcoin might continue to turn in a sluggish performance, as short-term holders remain under pressure. Specifically, the market leader continues to trade under the realized price of short-term holders (STH).<\/p>\n<h2><b>What Does This Mean For Bitcoin Price?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In a recent post on the X platform, crypto analyst Ali Martinez <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1842440833787957617\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">revealed<\/a> $63,000 as the realized price for Bitcoin short-term holders, explaining the relevance of this level to the asset\u2019s long-term health. For context, the short-term holder realized price is a metric that measures the average price at which short-term investors purchased their BTC.<\/p>\n<p>When the spot value of Bitcoin is higher than the short-term holders\u2019 realized price, it indicates that most recent investors are in the green. Typically, this encourages the traders to buy more coins, precipitating a positive market sentiment and potentially triggering an upward price movement.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, a fall beneath the STH realized price implies that most short-term holders are in unrealized loss. In this scenario, some investors may look to cut their losses by offloading their holdings, leading to downward pressure on price and further sell-offs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GZEifBgWwAAD7HL?format=jpg&amp;name=medium\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"1199\" height=\"675\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>According to Martinez, Bitcoin has been trading beneath the short-term holders\u2019 realized price since June. With the current STH realized price at $63,000, the premier cryptocurrency appears to be at risk of further decline, especially in the short term.<\/p>\n<h2><b>BTC Holder Behavior Similar To 2016 And 2020<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The overall outlook for Bitcoin&#8217;s price in the last quarter of 2024 has been quite positive. CryptoQuant <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/community\/dashboard\/66fd07280075637180889552?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=sns&amp;utm_campaign=dashboard&amp;utm_content=crypto-weekly-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">revealed<\/a> in its latest weekly report that the behavior of Bitcoin holders in the current cycle mirrors the 2016 and 2020 halving years, indicating a potential price growth for the market leader.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The on-chain analytics firm highlighted that the short-term Bitcoin supply increased following the launch of spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in early 2024. Although a cooling period followed after this spike, CryptoQuant pointed out that another rise in short-term supply could occur \u2014 if historical trends hold.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/b40kJrzy\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin \" width=\"2174\" height=\"1432\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bitcoin price has somewhat slowed down this weekend, failing to capitalize on its resurgent momentum from Friday, October 4.
