As Bitcoin (BTC) attempts to reclaim a key resistance level, one analyst suggests the end of its two-month consolidation phase could be just weeks away, potentially creating “generational opportunities” before the next major rally.
Bitcoin surged 5% from Sunday’s lows on Monday, retesting the $69,000-$70,000 resistance area for the first time in April. The cryptocurrency has been trading between $62,000 and $74,000 over the past two months but hasn’t reached the upper end of that range since late March. This retest could set the stage for a crucial short-term move.
Market observer Ted Pillows noted that if Bitcoin reclaims this zone, it could rally toward $72,000-$74,000. Conversely, a rejection would likely see it fall back to the $65,000-$66,000 support level, where the price has held over the past month.
Analyst Ali Martinez pointed out on X that Bitcoin appears “stuck in a ‘No-Trade Zone,'” according to the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) metric. The URPD shows where each BTC last changed hands, revealing a large cluster of holders between $70,685 and $63,111. “As long as we trade here, millions of holders are incentivized to defend their ‘buy-in,’ creating a natural floor,” Martinez explained.
Analyst Max Crypto added that Bitcoin’s “decision time is very close,” with its next significant move likely unfolding in the coming weeks based on historical patterns. He observed that Bitcoin has consistently consolidated for 8-15 weeks before its last four major price movements. Having now moved sideways for 8 weeks, entering its 9th week on Monday, he believes “BTC’s next big move will most likely happen by mid-April, irrespective of US-Iran talks, and will probably be to the downside.”
Where Could Bitcoin Find Its Final Support?
Martinez also examined several patterns and on-chain metrics to identify Bitcoin’s high-probability accumulation zones and potential bottom. He highlighted that Bitcoin is approaching its most significant support floor since 2017: a long-term ascending trendline that has supported its price for nine years. Each previous retest of this trendline has preceded a parabolic rally. Currently situated around the $60,000 and $56,000 levels, this trendline could serve as “the potential launchpad for the next major bull cycle” if it holds.
Additionally, Martinez outlined three key metrics that could signal optimal buying opportunities for BTC:
1. Cumulative Value Days Destroyed (CVDD): Currently around $47,960, this metric tracks when long-term holders transfer BTC to new buyers, helping to establish a structural market foundation.
2. MVRV 0.8 Band: Located around $43,647, this level has historically marked market bottoms—the point where selling pressure exhausts itself and long-term investors begin accumulating supply.
3. Long-Term Holder (LTH) Realized Price: Currently at $49,387, this is often considered the final support level. Martinez noted that if the price falls below this, “it signals a final capitulation phase,” especially if it reaches the -0.2 standard deviation band at $36,657, which he labeled “Generational Buy” levels.
