Glassnode noted that buyers have continued absorbing market pullbacks even as momentum began cooling near recent local highs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Bitcoin briefly slipped below $81,000 during early Asian trading on Tuesday, the analytics firm said the market still reflects strong bullish sentiment and increased confidence in upward price action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glassnode also pointed out that spot trading volumes have risen, indicating that recent price moves are attracting stronger investor participation and gaining broader market traction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bullish Signals Continue to Develop<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the analysts, Bitcoin\u2019s market structure is showing continued improvement, supported by stronger on chain activity, healthier profitability levels, and more stable positioning among holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Glassnode cautioned that while bullish momentum is building, weaker capital inflows and cautious investor sentiment suggest the market remains vulnerable to changes in overall risk appetite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Swissblock stated on Tuesday that Bitcoin remains at full momentum, with the latest market reset resembling previous failed breakout attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The firm explained that Bitcoin is currently consolidating within a key cost basis zone while maintaining structurally strong momentum. As long as momentum stays above the transition range, bulls are expected to remain in control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joao Wedson, founder and chief executive of Alphractal, highlighted that the 30 day change in exchange reserves presents a different perspective. He noted that Bitcoin has historically declined whenever this metric turns positive, since rising exchange balances often signal investors preparing to sell or short the asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, crypto market commentator Sykodelic maintained an optimistic outlook, saying the market has not experienced any severe rejections, major sell offs, or weak price action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, the analyst observed that Bitcoin has only faced minor pullbacks before continuing to push toward higher highs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sykodelic also pointed out that Bitcoin has now remained above the bull market support band, the true market mean, and the short term holder cost basis for ten consecutive days. The asset has also recorded a daily close above the 200 day exponential moving average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the analyst, the broader market environment remains firmly risk on, with expectations that Bitcoin could break above the $85,000 level as early as this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bitcoin Price Outlook Remains Positive Despite Short Term Pullback<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin experienced a slight decline during the day, falling from another retest of the $82,000 level to around $81,100 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the asset has traded sideways over the past seven days, it remains up more than 13 percent over the last month and has maintained a slow but consistent upward trend for roughly six weeks.#crypto#cryptonews <a href=\"https:\/\/coinsignals.net\">https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic\">https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s momentum above the $80,000 level continues to strengthen gradually as overall market structure improves, according to recent analysis from Glassnode.
