Bitcoin is currently facing key price levels, with the average cost for long-term holders around $101,000 and $81,700, while short-term holders encounter resistance at $114,650. Market sentiment support levels are distributed at these two price points, which may lead to a price correction or an upward movement.

【BlockBeats】 Recent analyses indicate that Bitcoin is facing several critical price levels.

From the downside support perspective, long-term holders who have held for 6 to 12 months have an average cost basis of around $101,000. Meanwhile, investors who have held for 12 to 18 months have a cost basis near $81,700 — a very key zone. Once Bitcoin drops back to this level, these holders are likely to choose to hold their positions, as this is their average purchase price. Additionally, investors who entered near the January 2025 high are still maintaining their positions.

On the upside, there is clear resistance around $114,650. This price point corresponds to the cost basis of short-term holders (3 to 6 months). Most of these investors positioned themselves near the top, and if Bitcoin re-enters this zone, some may choose to exit at break-even or small profit levels. The overall situation is either a bottom being supported or a rally encountering resistance — both scenarios involve psychological barriers for holders.

81700 is a pretty tough bottom line. If it really breaks, I think a lot of people will be liquidated.

81,700 is really the life-and-death line, a bunch of people are holding their breath there, breaking it would be a nightmare. 114,650 feels like a bit of a false resistance level, short-term traders have already exited. The brothers who have held for so long are really persistent, but the risk is still quite high. Fluctuating between 101k and 81.7k, it looks uncomfortable. This data seems to be painting a picture for those trapped, whether you believe it or not.

That 81,700 threshold really needs to be held. Otherwise, a bunch of people will have to cut their losses, and that will be truly dangerous.

The 81,700 price level really acts as a psychological barrier, with many people holding on and waiting to break free... It feels like it will become a true support point.
