NEWSBTC
Bitcoin has reached new all-time highs for four consecutive days,
hitting $99,500 just hours ago. The relentless surge has fueled
extreme bullish sentiment in the market, with investors eagerly
anticipating Bitcoin’s historic breakthrough of the $100,000 mark.
However, on-chain data suggests that the rally may face challenges
as signs of profit-taking emerge. Related Reading: Ethereum
Consolidation Continues – Charts Signal Potential Breakout Key
insights from CryptoQuant reveal that Long-Term Holders (LTHs) are
actively spending their Bitcoin, capitalizing on profits exceeding
350%. This behavior indicates that some seasoned investors are
beginning to lock in gains after the aggressive uptrend. Whale
activity and profit-taking by LTHs could temporarily slow the
rally, potentially triggering a consolidation phase before the next
leg up. While Bitcoin remains shy of the six-figure milestone,
the market closely examines whether it can sustain its momentum or
if a pullback is imminent. Consolidation at these levels could
provide the foundation for BTC to reclaim its bullish trend and
break through the psychological $100,000 barrier. Bitcoin Rally
Seems Unstoppable Bitcoin has surged an impressive 45% since
November 5, displaying relentless upward momentum that appears
unstoppable. Despite increasing selling activity, demand continues
to support the price, driving Bitcoin to new highs and maintaining
its bullish trajectory. Market participants are now closely
watching for potential signals of a slowdown or correction as BTC
pushes deeper into uncharted territory. CryptoQuant analyst Axel
Adler recently shared X data highlighting a significant trend
among Long-Term Holders (LTHs). According to Adler, LTHs are
actively spending their Bitcoin, capitalizing on profits exceeding
350%. This marks a critical juncture, as these holders are often
regarded as market stabilizers, and their selling activity could
indicate potential shifts in sentiment. Adler further notes that if
Bitcoin’s price surpasses $119,000, LTH profits would soar to over
500%. Such extraordinary profit levels could trigger a wave of
selling pressure, potentially leading to the first major correction
after this unprecedented rally. However, he emphasizes that
predicting an exact price point for a correction remains
speculative, as no definitive threshold exists to determine when
LTHs might overwhelmingly exit their positions. Related Reading:

While the rally shows no signs of slowing down, this dynamic
between demand and LTH profit-taking underscores the importance of
monitoring market behavior. Traders should remain cautious as
Bitcoin’s rapid ascent unfolds. BTC About To Reach $100K Bitcoin
trades at $98,600, less than 2% from the highly anticipated
$100,000 mark. This psychological level is expected to be a
significant supply zone, with many investors closely watching price
movements around this milestone. Recent “only up” price action has
left little room for traders to buy at lower levels, frustrating
those who hoped to accumulate during dips. If Bitcoin holds above
the crucial $93,500 support level in the coming days, market
sentiment suggests a powerful surge above $100,000 could follow.
Breaking this barrier would likely usher in further bullish
momentum, pushing Bitcoin into uncharted territory and fueling
optimism for additional gains. However, failure to maintain support
at $93,500 could trigger selling pressure, leading to a price
pullback. In such a scenario, Bitcoin might test lower demand
zones, with $85,000 and $80,000 identified as key levels to watch.
These zones could provide new accumulation opportunities for
investors looking to capitalize on price corrections. Related
