Bitcoin Price’s Last Line Of Defense Could Prevent Structural Weakness

16 October 2025 05:58 UTC
Trusted
  • Bitcoin trades near a crucial support between $108,400 and $117,100, a zone that has historically prevented deeper corrections.
  • Long-term holders have sold 300,000 BTC since July 2025, adding sustained sell pressure and limiting upside momentum.
  • Holding above $110,000 could spark a rebound to $112,500, but a drop below $108,000 may trigger structural weakness and extended correction.

Bitcoin is currently facing one of its most critical tests in months as its price hovers near a key support level that has repeatedly prevented deeper declines. 

However, investor sentiment and market conditions will now determine whether Bitcoin can sustain this level or risk entering a prolonged correction phase.

Bitcoin Is Vulnerable

Bitcoin’s supply quantiles show that the asset has entered its third instance since late August, where spot prices dipped below the 0.95-quantile price model ($117,100). This level represents holdings where roughly 5% of supply, primarily owned by top buyers, sits at a loss. BTC currently trades within the 0.85–0.95 quantile range ($108,400–$117,100), reflecting a significant retracement from the euphoric phase of recent months.

Without renewed momentum to lift prices back above $117,100, Bitcoin risks sliding toward the lower boundary of this range. Historically, when BTC failed to sustain this critical support zone, extended mid- to long-term corrections followed. A drop below $108,000 would likely signal structural weakness, potentially leading to greater losses as investor confidence wavers.

The broader macro environment remains challenging for Bitcoin. Since July 2025, persistent long-term holder (LTH) distribution has restricted upside potential. Data shows that approximately 0.3 million BTC have been offloaded by mature investors over this period, indicating steady profit-taking. This sustained sell-side pressure has limited demand growth and kept volatility elevated.

If the distribution trend continues without new inflows from institutions or retail buyers, Bitcoin could face further consolidation. Demand exhaustion may lead to localized capitulation events or temporary market pullbacks before long-term equilibrium returns.

BTC Price Holds Strong

Bitcoin’s price has remained volatile since July 2025 due to macroeconomic pressure and shifting investor sentiment. Even so, BTC has repeatedly found stability around $110,000, signaling potential resilience.

The next major support lies at $108,000, a historically strong level that has been tested several times before. Holding above this zone could enable a rebound toward $112,500 in the short term, especially if macro conditions improve.

However, if bearish pressure intensifies and selling accelerates, Bitcoin could fall below $110,000. A breakdown under $108,000 would invalidate the bullish-neutral outlook and expose BTC to deeper structural weakness.
