— IntoTheBlock (@intotheblock) January 7, 2022BTC may face the most selling pressure between $42,000 and $43,000, and between $45,000 and $47,000, as investors tend to take profits or de-risk their portfolios when an asset reaches its initial entry price.
Both zones contain 3.2 million addresses containing 1.9 million BTC. When each zone concentrates more addresses that have received assets at a specific price, the metrics show that each zone is wider than the other.
Zones of support
According to the same metric, the asset’s biggest support zone is currently between $39,000 and $41,900, with 700,000 BTC held by approximately one million addresses.
The sudden drop in the number of holders appears in the $38,000 to $39,000 range, with fewer than one million addresses holding Bitcoin at a profit.
Bitcoin’s profitability has dropped to 57 percent following the most recent market correction, with 36 percent of all holders trading or holding Bitcoin at a loss. At the time of publication, Bitcoin was trading at $41,585, down 3.8 percent on the day.
Bitcoin has broken through a critical support level
According to Mark Newton, managing director of Fundstrat Global Advisors, $45,655 was a key support level for Bitcoin.
The main cryptocurrency appears to be on track to go below $40,000 for the first time since September 2021 now that it has been breached.
FUNDSTRAT: “I had highlighted $45,655 as being important. This was violated on Tuesday, which in my view makes prices vulnerable to a decline down to test September 2021 lows near $39,573. This looks to be the first real support ..” #Bitcoin @MarkNewtonCMT pic.twitter.com/KDNz6z3vv2
