The Bitcoin price has had a mixed performance in August, starting with a positive run-up to a new all-time high above $124,000. The premier cryptocurrency, however, has struggled to sustain this momentum in the final two weeks of the month.
On Friday, August 29, the price of BTC fell to a six-week low of around $107,500, mirroring the widespread bearish sentiment in the market going into the weekend. While the market has been somewhat stable over the past day, the Bitcoin price has failed to show any real intent of breaking above the psychological $110,000 level.
In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, CryptoOnchain shared insights on the decline of Bitcoin, revealing that heavy profit-taking by whales was the primary factor behind this corrective phase. According to the on-chain analyst, there are certain levels to watch out for when evaluating the next step for the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
CryptoOnchain revealed two crucial Bitcoin price levels to look out for based on relevant on-chain indicators. Firstly, the crypto analyst identified the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price (1-month – 3-month) as the first line of defense or support for the flagship cryptocurrency.
CryptoOnchain described the STH Realized Price as the average acquisition price for investors for investors who have held their for 1 to 3 months. This level has historically served as a strong dynamic support and resistance for the Bitcoin price. According to the analyst, the price of BTC seems to be currently testing the support around this STH Realized Price, as shown in the chart below.
Furthermore, CryptoOnchain identified the Realized Value Model’s Mid Price as the ultimate support level to watch for the Bitcoin price. This metric (green line in the chart below), which is based on MVRV and Realized Price, represents the most reliable long-term support level across various market cycles.
The on-chain analyst noted that this support level is approximately $92,000, and it could provide the Bitcoin price with the necessary relief if the other short-term supports fail to hold. However, the premier cryptocurrency might have to endure an extended corrective phase if this $92,000 support is broken.
As of this writing, Bitcoin is valued at around $108,689, reflecting no significant price movement in the past 24 hours. According to CoinGecko data, the BTC price is down by almost 6% in the past seven days.
