“Historically, spikes in the on-chain activity often coincide with market peaks and bottom-driven panic sellers come out and opportunities consumers.”

Bitcoin must hold above $ 80,500 to avoid further losses

Bitcoin’s ability to stay above the $ 80,500 threshold can act as a “potential catalyst for market stabilization,” according to Stella Zlatareva, Dispatch Editor on the Digital Asset Investment Platform Nexo.

Zlatareva told Cointelegraph:

“Options data suggest that the BTC’s ability to obtain $ 80,500 will be a major factor in the near momentum. A breakout above this level can provide the way for further upside down, while a failure to establish it as support can lead to further downside testing.”
