The Bitcoin (BTC) market is currently experiencing significant shifts in supply dynamics, with notable activity between long-term holders (LTHs) and short-term holders (STHs). According to the latest analysis from CryptoQuant, historically, such transitions have often indicated local market tops or even cycle peaks, depending on the overall market environment and broader economic conditions. Presently, demand from short-term holders continues to play a critical role in supporting Bitcoin’s price stability amid ongoing market volatility.

Short-Term Buyers The analysis made by the CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost revealed that the short-term holders, particularly those who acquired Bitcoin in recent months, are actively influencing market sentiment. By analyzing the realized price data of various short-term acquisition periods, distinct support and resistance levels become apparent. These realized price levels include $41,000 for the general average realized price, $85,000 for short-term holders overall, $99,000 for holders within one week to one month, $81,000 for one to three months, and $60,000 for three to six months. These figures reflect key psychological and technical price points where market participants may make significant buy or sell decisions, according to Darkfost. The analyst revealed that the Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (STH SOPR) currently remains neutral at 1 after declining from Bitcoin’s last rally, which pushed its price to an all-time high of $108,000. The STH SOPR serves as a key metric to evaluate short-term holders’ profit-taking behavior. A neutral SOPR indicates that recent selling activity from short-term holders has not been significantly profitable, reducing the incentive for widespread sell-offs at current price levels. However, this neutral stance suggests potential headwinds for an immediate bullish recovery. The decline in STH SOPR points to diminishing realized profits, which could slow down upward momentum in the short term. Despite these challenges, short-term holders’ demand has managed to absorb much of the selling pressure from long-term holders, preventing sharp price declines. Darkfost wrote: In conclusion, the selling pressure from LTHs has so far been fairly well absorbed by the buying pressure from STHs. However, we note that the STH SOPR is declining, which could hinder an immediate bullish recovery. In the short term, a period of consolidation or even a deeper correction might occur. Bitcoin Market Performance And Outlook Meanwhile, Bitcoin is currently trading at a price of $97,357 after recording a slight increase of 1.1% in the past day.

As the market enters 2025, XRP, the cryptocurrency that has garnered global investor interest in recent months, has begun the year exceptionally well. The asset has experienced an impressive 11% surge, propelling its value to approximately $2.42, a level it had not seen since late 2024’s price correction. Analysts Predict XRP Could Reach $5.85 As Market Confidence Grows This resurgence has positioned XRP as the third-largest cryptocurrency in the market, with a market capitalization of around $139 billion, according to CoinGecko data. Notably, it has surpassed the market cap of Tether (USDT), which stands at $137 billion. The recent rally in XRP’s price can be attributed in part to a broader shift in market sentiment following the election of President Donald Trump on November 5. Trump’s victory has sparked renewed confidence in the digital asset industry, leading to increased optimism among investors. This sentiment shift seems to have catalyzed a wave of buying activity within the crypto market, benefiting not only XRP but also other digital assets.

DarkDefender, a prominent figure in the crypto analysis community, observed that XRP’s price trajectory has been impressive. After hovering around $2.11, XRP broke through its initial resistance at $2.22 and reached as high as $2.44. DarkDefender highlighted $2.42 as a critical resistance level that has now been updated as a new support level. According to his analysis, if XRP can breach the $2.67 to $2.72 range, it could pave the way for a significant upward movement, targeting as high as $5.85. This potential rise would represent an extraordinary 141% increase from its current price, marking a new all-time high for the token. Elliott Wave Theory Points To Potential $10 Target Adding to the optimism, another analyst, known as CryptoinsightUK, has weighed in on XRP’s potential trajectory suggesting that if XRP follows a measured move similar to its previous price leg, it could “easily surpass $10.” Drawing from Elliott Wave Theory, which posits that market trends move in waves, he argues that if XRP enters a “wave 3” scenario—often the most substantial in terms of price movement—the asset could exceed $10. CryptoinsightUK notes that many investors are targeting the $8 mark, a figure he considers reasonable based on various metrics. By analyzing the price movements and potential gains, the analyst suggests that the future of the altcoin looks bright, with many indicators pointing towards substantial growth.

The confidence brought about by political changes and market sentiment may very well set the stage for a new era of growth for XRP and the cryptocurrency market as a whole. Trading at $2.42, the XRP price shows a 2% increase over the past 24 hours. Regarding trading volume, CoinGecko data indicates a decrease of almost 42%, totaling $5.6 billion.

The market is recovering from the end-of-year bleeding that dragged most cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), to monthly lows. As the flagship crypto retests key levels, some analyst shared their predictions for the 2025 bull market and BTC’s performance. Related Reading: Solana-Based Pump.Fun Records $15 Million Daily Revenue As Memecoin Mania Continues Bitcoin Correction Close To An End? Over the last three days, Bitcoin has slowly climbed back to the $96,000 level, briefly trading near the $98,000 mark on Thursday afternoon. Last week, the flagship crypto lost this key range, failing to reclaim it for six days. This zone served as a crucial bounce point since mid-November. However, the New Year recovery sent BTC’s price up nearly 5%, with Bitcoin trading above $96,000 for the past day. Some crypto analysts previously suggested that reclaiming the $97,300 support zone is crucial to reverse BTC’s short-term bearish trend. This level was retested yesterday for the first time in over a week but failed to hold. Despite this, crypto analyst Rekt Capital noted that week 9 of its post-halving “Parabolic Upside Phase” is “slowly ending,” suggesting that BTC’s correction will likely be over soon. The analyst explained Bitcoin enters a parabolic period that lasts around 300 days each cycle after every Halving event. Historically, BTC registers the first major retrace a month after entering price discovery mode. The first “Price Discovery Correction” starts between Weeks 6 and 8 of each parabolic phase and sees pullbacks by at least 25%. This cycle, Bitcoin’s retrace started on Week 7 and saw a 15% correction, which some analysts suggest is due to the trend of smaller corrections. Rekt Capital stated that “once Bitcoin clears its historically corrective weeks,” the flagship crypto will offer plenty of reasons to be bullish. Similarly, the analyst pointed out that BTC’s peak will likely come this year, followed by the “very beginnings of a brand new bear market.” However, he explained that most of the bear market will occur next year, lasting “some 365+ days and be between -65% to -80% deep.” BTC To Perform Well In Q1 Daan crypto trades highlighted that Bitcoin has been “chopping around the $100K level for 6 weeks now, we’ve built up a good amount of liquidity in this area.” He added that from the $100,000 mark and above, “there should be plenty of fuel to propel this higher.” Moreover, the trader noted that BTC is “trading right around the high volume node. Meaning, most volume was traded between these prices. Generally, price moves easier when its able to break away from such a high volume area. The 4H 200MA is guarding that breaking on the top side. The 4H 200EMA below is offering support.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Retests $95,000 Amid 4.2% Surge, Is A New Year Rebound Coming? Daan asserted that a break above the $98,000 mark could “get the party started and start the run back to the all-time highs,” while holding the $95,000 support zone key in the short term. Ultimately, he considers there will be “an interesting race between BTC and ETH this quarter,” as the market’s performance during Q1 is usually “pretty positive.” Based on this historical performance, the trader expects the leading cryptocurrencies to perform well throughout the start of the year. As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $97,071, a 1% increase in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
