  • Data from Into the Block analytics shows that BTC prices are just above support. “The IOMAP reveals that 1 million addresses had previously bought approximately 570K Bitcoin at a price of around $35,600,” researchers from Into the Block note. “Due to the large buying activity around this area, there is expected to be strong support from new buyers and current holders. Were this level to fail, then a drop to $32,000 is likely,” the researchers added.
  • The Into the Block team notes that BTC may stay consolidated for some time. “Due to the high concentration of volume currently near price, it is likely that price may continue range-bound, unless there is a major catalyst in either direction,” the researchers detail. “Finally, it is probable that a breakout in either direction for bitcoin will lead the rest of the crypto markets along.”
