After rebounding from a local bottom of around $75,000 in April, Bitcoin (BTC) appears to be stuck in the $100,000 to $110,000 range, showing little indication of a clear directional trend. One key data point reflecting this indecision is Bitcoin’s network volume. Bitcoin Network Volume Stuck In Balance Zone According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor AxelAdlerJr, Bitcoin’s network volume has stabilized in a state of ‘stable equilibrium,’ reminiscent of the mid-2021 consolidation phase that preceded a major move. Related Reading: Bitcoin Binary CDD Hints At Healthy Consolidation, Not A Top For the uninitiated, Bitcoin network volume refers to the total value of BTC transferred across the blockchain over a specific period, typically used to gauge market activity and capital flow. Higher network volume suggests increased investor engagement and liquidity, while lower volume may indicate reduced interest or market stagnation. Notably, when BTC reached the upper end of its current range – around $110,000 – its average network volume surged to as high as $67 billion. Since then, the metric has slightly declined and now hovers around $58.7 billion. Since January 2024, Bitcoin’s average network volume has ranged between $40 billion and $80 billion. According to the CryptoQuant analyst, this corridor has become a key indicator of network activity balance and broader market sentiment. Historically, when the Bitcoin average volume approached the upper-end of the range at $80 billion, it coincided with local price peaks of $70,000 and $100,000. On the contrary, moves toward the lower-end – around $40 billion – were associated with short-term pullbacks, though these dips were often quickly bought up by market participants. Currently, the $58.7 billion reading sits near the midpoint of this range, mirroring the consolidation phase observed in mid-2021. The analyst explained: As long as the indicator remains above the $40 billion level, we can speak of a stable fundamental market condition. Rising volumes above the $80 billion mark will confirm strengthening activity and fresh capital inflow. On the other hand, a sustained drop below $40 billion will indicate weakening network demand and may be a harbinger of a deeper correction. Is BTC Preparing For A Big Move? While Bitcoin network volume suggests the market is in a state of equilibrium, some on-chain metrics hint at a potential breakout building in the background – possibly paving the way for renewed bullish momentum. Related Reading: Bitcoin Poised For Rally As Geopolitical Tensions Ease And Inflation Expectations Fall For example, the BTC short-term holder floor has been rising steadily in recent months, currently hovering around $98,000. This provides a strong support base, potentially preventing a sharp downside correction. However, selling pressure from miners and long-term holders is also beginning to increase – casting some uncertainty over BTC’s short-term price trajectory. At press time, BTC trades at $106,528, down 0.9% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from CryptoQuant and TradingView.com

CRYPTOWZRD, in his latest update on X, highlighted Ethereum‘s indecisive close, suggesting the market is still searching for clear direction. Despite the uncertainty, he remains optimistic, noting that both Bitcoin and BTC dominance are showing strength that could benefit ETH in the near term, with $2,800 marked as the next major resistance. Mixed Signals Across Ethereum Key Timeframes In the post, CRYPTOWZRD pointed out a mixed close for Ethereum across key timeframes. While the monthly candle ended indecisively, signaling some short-term hesitation, the quarterly candle closed with strong bullish conviction. This, he suggests, sets the stage for more upward movement in the coming months as higher timeframes begin to assert dominance. Related Reading: Ethereum Gears Up For Breakout Above $2,800 – Bullish Momentum Builds He emphasized that today’s daily candles for both ETH and ETHBTC closed similarly indecisive, reflecting the current uncertainty in the market. However, with Bitcoin dominance starting to decline, he sees potential for ETHBTC to pick up strength, which could, in turn, fuel Ethereum’s next leg up. According to CRYPTOWZRD, ETHBTC is already showing signs of life, moving upward from a monthly double-bottom formation. He believes that clean, bullish candles forming from the 0.02270 BTC region would inject fresh momentum into Ethereum, helping to drive it toward the $2,800 resistance, a key level on the radar. He added that unless any negative fundamental developments occur, $2,400 remains Ethereum’s main daily support zone. As long as this holds, the broader structure remains intact, and the bullish thesis stays valid. Looking ahead, CRYPTOWZRD plans to keep his attention on the lower timeframes tomorrow. With volatility in play and setups brewing, he’ll be watching closely for quick scalp opportunities as Ethereum navigates through this critical range. Waiting On Chart Confirmation For The Next Intraday Move In his closing remarks, the analyst noted that Ethereum’s intraday chart experienced heightened volatility throughout the day. Despite the choppy price action, he sees clear setups forming that could present solid trading opportunities in the near term. Related Reading: Ethereum Analyst Eyes High Timeframe Close – Range Break Above $2,800 Could Be Violent A decisive breakout and close above the $2,550 resistance level would be a strong bullish signal, potentially opening the door for a long entry. On the flip side, if the price pulls back toward the $2,380 support and forms a bullish reversal pattern, that too could serve as a valid trigger for a long position. With these scenarios in mind, the analyst plans to closely monitor the intraday chart. His focus will be on spotting a clean and high-quality setup, one that aligns with price structure and momentum to time the next scalp trade effectively.
