The Bitcoin market remains in an intense corrective phase after prices registered a significant 6.7% price decline in the past week. The premier cryptocurrency is presently valued at around $108,000, which recent on-chain data describes as a rather volatile state. Notably, there is a need for an immediate price rebound or Bitcoin risks a further downside.
As earlier stated, Bitcoin is currently consolidating below this unrealized price band, suggesting a deeper room for price correction. Therefore, Julio Moreno warns that unless BTC swiftly moves back above $112,000, selling pressure could intensify, driving the asset toward its lower realized band at around $100,000, i.e., a possible 7.91% fall from present market prices.
It is worth noting that the trader on-chain realized bands, which also extend to upper and lower boundaries, paint a broader picture of possible volatility. The upper range sits near $157,000, highlighting long-term upside potential if momentum returns. On the other hand, the lower realized support near $70,700 represents the most extreme bearish case. However, present market fundamentals make such only likely following a major macro development, regulatory shock, or the expected return of the bear market.
At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $107,960, reflecting a 3.45% decline in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, market activity remains on the rise, with daily trading volume climbing 28.77% to $78.02 billion, suggesting that selling pressure may still be a dominant force.
