Analysis: Bitcoin May See Deeper Pullback if It Breaks Below Short-Term Holder Cost of $106,000
BlockBeats News, August 21st, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr posted that Bitcoin continues to retreat from its all-time high. The one-year MVRV Z-Score has dropped to neutral levels, currently slightly below zero, indicating that the unrealized profits on the network have compressed compared to the one-year average level, with more supply being at breakeven or in a loss state.
Bitcoin's key support level is at a short-term holder realized price of $106,000. If the price falls below $106,000, short-term holders will be in an overall loss position, exposing the market to a deeper pullback risk.
The recovery signal would be the Z-Score continuing to rise above zero while the price reclaims $118,000.
