מדוע ייתכן שמחיר הביטקוין נמצא בתהליך של התייצבות סביב רמת המחיר של 80,000 דולר

[라온]

The Bitcoin price has surged towards the $80,000 mark over the past few weeks, signaling an ongoing resurgence from the bear-market lows observed in the first quarter of 2026. However, the premier cryptocurrency appears to have run out of the bullish impetus to sustain its current recovery, as it hovers around a psychological price level. Interestingly, the latest on-chain data shows that the Bitcoin price could be forming a consolidation range around the $80,000 region.

Weak Coinbase Demand, Zero Binance Sell Pressure Forms ‘Equilibrium Of Apathy’: Analyst

In a May 15 post on the social media platform X, market analyst CryptoOnchain revealed that a “Low-Velocity Consolidation” setup seems to be forming in the current Bitcoin price structure. This evaluation is based on a confluence of three on-chain signals over the past couple of weeks.

Firstly, CryptoOnchain shared that the Network Value to Transaction metric has been in an uptrend in recent weeks. This indicator measures the ratio of a cryptocurrency’s (Bitcoin, in this case) market capitalization to transaction volume, offering insight into whether an asset is over- or undervalued.

When this metric is high (as it currently is), it means that the Bitcoin price growth is no longer being supported by actual network activity (or increasing transaction value). Hence, a further expansion in BTC’s price, especially in the short term, might not be feasible.

CryptoOnchain noted that, at the same time, there has been a significant Bitcoin supply drought on Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. The analyst stated that the Binance Inflow CDD metric has dropped 99.5% since April, with Bitcoin long-term holders showing a reluctance to sell their assets.

The third metric highlighted by CryptoOnchain is the Coinbase Premium, which measures the demand from institutional investors in the United States. According to data from CryptoQuant, there appears to be some apathy among US investors, as the Coinbase Premium has remained largely negative in recent weeks.

CryptoOnchain explained that this combination of weak demand and zero sell pressure from two of the largest exchanges creates an “Equilibrium of Apathy.” These illiquid conditions, compounded by low Binance leverage, are often precursors to a volatility squeeze, the on-chain pundit concluded.

Could This Volatility Squeeze Trigger The Next Bitcoin Price Move?

For context, a volatility squeeze is a technical analysis pattern (shown by contracting Bollinger Bands) that signals a period of consolidation. What’s interesting is that this technical pattern has historically preceded significant price breakouts.

Hence, from an optimistic perspective, the current period of inactivity in the Bitcoin price could simply be the “calm before the storm.” As of this writing, the price of BTC sits just above the $79,000 mark, reflecting an almost 3% decline in the past day.
