Recent price action between $80K and $95K reflects a prolonged consolidation phase, shaped by the positioning of short term holders. Data from the Short Term Holder Cost Basis Distribution Heatmap reveals a heavy concentration of cost basis near current levels, creating persistent overhead supply. Rally attempts have repeatedly stalled as recent buyers sell into strength, keeping price capped despite multiple recovery efforts.

However, demand above $80K has remained resilient following the drawdown, providing a solid floor and limiting downside risk. This dynamic has resulted in price staying tightly anchored within the range. A decisive move will depend on whether demand can fully absorb remaining supply or if sellers regain control and force a breakdown.
