New demand, onchain activity will push BTC higher
Bitcoin’s ability to push above $115,000 appears limited due to the lack of buyers and low network activity.
The chart below shows that Bitcoin’s cumulative volume Delta (CVD) and Perpetual CVD areas remain negative, but have been flattening over the past two weeks.
This indicates that “aggressive selling pressure has subsided in the past few days,” Onchain Data Provider Glassnode said in a post on X.
Meanwhile, spot trading volume declined 17.5% to $12.5 billion from $15.2 billion in the previous week, suggesting a lack of speculative activity.
Denial suggests that Bitcoin’s recent recovery to $116,000 is “not supported by broad participation,” Glassnode write In the latest weekly market impulse report, adding:
“The pullback suggests the involvement of cooling and a potential consolidation phase, with rising prices yet to be confirmed by stronger inflows.”
An increase in area volume parallels a broader accumulation phase, triggering a strong rally.
In addition, onchain activity remains muted, with a “dip in active addresses, transfer volume, and fees, pointing to a quieter network environment and a consolidated user base,” Glassnode said, adding:
“Until conviction deepens and demand expands, Bitcoin will likely remain in a rangebound consolidation, with cautious optimization beginning to replace defensive positioning.”
