- RHODL Ratio decline shows rising short-term activity, not mass selling.
- $100K remains critical support; breakout above $110K could follow.
Bitcoin remains in a pivotal phase as traders weigh recent price movements against long-term holder behaviour. Recent data from Glassnode shows that Bitcoin’s RHODL Ratio has started to decline after peaking below 2. The RHODL Ratio measures the balance between long-term holders (6 months to 2 years) and newer holders (1 day to 3 months).
Despite the current drop, the ratio remains well below historic highs seen in past market tops. Analysts suggest this decline is linked to increased short-term activity rather than a loss of conviction from long-term holders.
Historically, sharp spikes in the RHODL Ratio have marked market tops when profit-taking intensifies. The current range suggests that most older holders are still in accumulation mode. This ongoing behaviour indicates market strength and a lack of widespread distribution.
$100K Support Becomes Key as Short-Term Price Action Heats Up
However, Ali Martinez highlighted the importance of the $100,000 support level in a recent BTC/USDT analysis. After briefly reaching highs near $114,000, Bitcoin pulled back to around $104,852. Martinez warned that a close below $100,000 could open the door to a deeper correction toward $78,500.
According to Martinez, Bitcoin is trading within a defined price channel. Resistance near $110,000 continues to cap upward momentum, while the lower bound of the channel offers potential support.
If bulls fail to hold the $100,000 level, technical pressure may intensify. The zone now acts as both a psychological and structural benchmark for short-term traders.
Consolidation Suggests Breakout Setup as Bulls Eye $120K
Bitcoin is forming a tightening range between rising mid-channel support and a flipped resistance level, according to a technical analysis by Lingrid. With the price hovering around $104,724, analysts see coiling action that typically precedes larger moves. The setup signals consolidation rather than weakness.
The BTC/USDT chart reveals strong support zones beneath current levels, giving traders confidence in the bullish structure. Lingrid emphasized the importance of the $118,000–$120,000 target range, which aligns with upper channel resistance.
As long as the ascending trendline holds, the broader structure remains favourable for continued upside. The analysis suggests that Bitcoin’s medium-term trend is intact, and a breakout above $110,000 could unlock further gains.
