Bitcoin\u2019s Risk Index has dropped back to levels that have historically signaled market bottoms and lower selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Swissblock, the index has now reached zero, indicating a fully low risk environment. This proprietary metric evaluates the overall risk in the Bitcoin market by comparing buying and selling pressure and determining how risky it is to hold or purchase BTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swissblock explained that the current reading points to declining selling pressure, the likely completion of the bottoming phase though not yet a growth phase, and stabilization within a low risk zone. Historically, such conditions have marked points where selling pressure is exhausted and the foundation for bullish momentum begins to form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin Approaches Key Bear Market Resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost observed that Bitcoin\u2019s Coin Days Destroyed metric has dropped sharply, signaling reduced activity from long term holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a period of heightened activity among long term holders, their behavior now appears to be shifting. Although this might seem concerning at first, it could indicate movement of assets into more secure custody solutions and also reflects a decline in selling pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A significant drop in this metric typically suggests that selling pressure is easing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, CryptoQuant\u2019s head of research Julio Moreno noted that Bitcoin\u2019s price is nearing an important resistance level commonly seen in bear markets. This level is the on chain realized price for traders, currently around seventy six thousand eight hundred dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alphractal shared a similar view, pointing out that Bitcoin is approaching major on chain cost resistance levels such as the True Market Mean Price and the short term holder realized price. These levels have historically acted as resistance during bear market periods, making them important to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin briefly reached seventy five thousand eight hundred dollars on Tuesday, its highest level since mid March, before facing resistance and pulling back to around seventy four thousand dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethereum Shows Strength but Rally May Be Temporary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethereum has recently outperformed Bitcoin, climbing to around two thousand four hundred dollars on Tuesday, its highest level since early February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glassnode reported that Ethereum has regained the cost basis for holders who have held for one to three months, which sits at approximately two thousand three hundred dollars. This reflects improving momentum across the crypto market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Glassnode noted that the current pattern still aligns with a bear market relief rally rather than a full trend reversal, similar to price rebounds seen in late 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Santiment reported that smaller retail traders are selling off their Ethereum holdings aggressively. Many believe the recent seventeen percent increase since late March is a bull trap. Interestingly, this sentiment could actually support continued upward movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santiment concluded that ongoing profit taking and selling activity may ultimately serve as a bullish signal for the market.#crypto#cryptonews https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
