Bitcoin (BTC) Rearing To Resume Uptrend? $97,532 Holds Key To Renewed Bullish Momentum

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has shared some important insights into the current Bitcoin (BTC) market based on URPD.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has shared some important insights into the current Bitcoin (BTC) market based on UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD). Following another week of widespread market uncertainty, Bitcoin prices remain in consolidation, failing to make an effective breakout above $84,380.

Bitcoin Bull Run: $97,532 Holds Key To Renewed Bullish Momentum

In on-chain analysis, the Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) remains from every transaction that can be used as input in a new transaction. Therefore, the UTXO Realized Price Distribution allows analysts to identify price levels at which Bitcoin’s current supply was last moved. By highlighting price levels with high concentrations of UTXOs, the URPD is an important metric in discovering resistance and support levels.

In an X post on March 22 by Martinez, data from Glassnode shows a strong cluster of UTXOs around $83,444 indicating that many investors have their cost basis around this level. Currently, BTC’s price is well above this support level which showcases the potential for an upswing. However, Martinez notes that a stiff resistance awaits market bulls at the $97,532 price level which also hosts a vast amount of UTXOs.

The analyst explains that a successful clearance of this resistance price level would signal a renewed bullish momentum in a BTC market that has undergone significant correction in the past few months. In a highly positive scenario, Bitcoin is likely to surge towards new all-time highs. Nonetheless, failure to move past $97,532 may force BTC to remain in consolidation or even retrace to lower support levels.

In other developments, Martinez has suggested Bitcoin’s current correction is likely still ongoing based on the Bitcoin Sharpe Ratio. For context, the Sharpe Ratio determines whether BTC’s returns are currently commensurable with the level of risk involved at the moment.

The analyst explains that best market entries have occurred when the Bitcoin Sharpe ratio is at low risk, presenting a favourable buying opportunity. However, the current Sharpe ratio indicates high risk suggesting that prospective BTC investors might need to exercise patience.

Martinez said:

We’re not there yet, but getting closer might signal a prime buying window!

At the time of writing, BTC continues to trade at $84,075 following a 0.27% price increase in the last 24 hours. However, the asset’s daily trading volume has crashed by 46.41% as market engagement falls.
