Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView reveals that in the latest drawdown, the price of Bitcoin dropped by more than 16.5% from a high of $63,801 on July 1 to set a swing low at $63,499 on July 5 in what Glassnode describes as the “deepest correction since late 2022.”“Between May and July, the market experienced its deepest cycle correction, recording a drawdown exceeding -26% from the ATH.”Bitcoin price performance.

Despite this downturn, Glassnode’s The Week On-chain report notes that the correction is notably shallower compared to past cycles. It points to a strong market structure and “reduced volatility as Bitcoin matures as an asset class.”“If we assess price performance relative to each cycle low, the 2023-24 market has behaved eerily similar to the last two cycles (2018-21 and 2015-17). The reason for Bitcoin following such a similar path is a regular topic of debate, but it continues to provide a valuable framework for analysts to think about cycle structure and duration.”


Glassnode analysts found that with the sell-off, 83% of the supply controlled by short-term holders—addresses that have held Bitcoin for less than 155 days—has fallen into unrealized losses.


According to the chart below, 2.9 million BTC (approximately $166.75 billion at current rates) of the 3.2 million BTC ($184 billion) held by STHs were pushed below their cost basis with the recent sell-off to $53,000.Bitcoin STHs supply plunges into loss. Source: Glassnode


According to Glassnode analysts, this placed significant pressure on Bitcoin and the wider crypto market.


As long as BTC price remains below $58,000 for the next few days, the long-term outlook for Bitcoin price will remain bearish as this level acts as a significant resistance zone.


At the time of publication, Bitcoin was trading at $57,485 and was fighting stiff resistance in its recovery path compared to the support it enjoyed on the downside.


The chart below corroborated this, showing that the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $58,180 posed the first resistance line for the bulls. Another barrier could emerge from the $63,880 level, where both the 50-day and 100-day EMAs appear to converge.
