Bitcoin remains trapped in a tight consolidation range that began over two weeks ago, fueling expectations of an imminent breakout or breakdown. The lack of decisive movement has created a state of market indecision, with neither bulls nor bears taking full control. Price continues to hover between key support and resistance levels, showing no strong signs of accumulation or distribution. Related Reading: Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Begin Distribution: Mirroring Fall 2024 Cycle According to new data from CryptoQuant, the Bitcoin Heat Macro Phase—a metric that reflects the overall temperature of the market—currently sits at a neutral level. This indicates that market conditions are balanced, with no clear dominance from buyers or sellers. Profit-taking remains moderate, ETF inflows have slowed, and long-term holder activity is stable, all of which support the view that the market is in a wait-and-see mode. The current structure suggests that a major move is likely approaching. With volatility compressed and the market treading water, traders and investors are closely watching for a signal that will define the next leg. Whether Bitcoin breaks out toward new highs or rolls over into a correction, the coming days will be crucial in shaping the short-term trend and broader sentiment across the crypto landscape. Bitcoin Heat Macro Phase Signals Neutral Market Top analyst Axel Adler recently shared insights into the Bitcoin Heat Macro Phase—a metric that condenses several key market indicators into a single scalar value, offering a simplified yet powerful view of where Bitcoin stands in its broader macro cycle. The metric combines data points such as overvaluation assessments, profit-taking activity, long-term holder (LTH) selling pressure, and ETF inflows to gauge whether the market is overheated or entering a favorable accumulation zone. When the Heat Macro Phase reaches high values near 50%, it typically signals that these components are at their upper historical bounds—suggesting an overheated market that may be nearing a distribution phase or a correction. Conversely, readings closer to 30% reflect cooler market conditions: lower profit-taking, modest ETF activity, and minimal LTH selling. These scenarios often indicate that the market is undervalued and ripe for accumulation. Currently, the Bitcoin Heat Macro Phase sits at 44%, putting it squarely in the neutral zone. Adler explains that this level reflects a balanced market environment—neither overbought nor undervalued. There’s no clear dominance by bulls or bears. Profit-taking is beginning to accelerate, but it hasn’t reached a level that would suggest a broader exit is underway. This mid-range reading aligns with Bitcoin’s recent price action, which has remained in a tight consolidation for over two weeks. As the metric hovers in neutral territory, it reinforces the idea that the next significant move—whether upward toward new highs or downward in a correction—will depend entirely on upcoming price behavior. For now, the Bitcoin Heat Macro Phase acts as a market barometer, signaling patience as investors wait for the next breakout or breakdown to confirm direction. Related Reading: Bitcoin Demand Builds at $117K: Cost Basis Distribution Defines Key Support Level BTC Price Action Details: Tight Consolidation Bitcoin continues to consolidate between well-defined support and resistance levels, currently trading at $118,269.81 on the 12-hour chart. The price action has remained confined within a horizontal range, with upper resistance at $122,077 and strong support at $115,724. This range has persisted for over two weeks, reflecting a phase of indecision where neither bulls nor bears have asserted dominance. The 50, 100, and 200 SMAs—located at $116,342, $111,334, and $106,668, respectively—are all trending upward, suggesting that the broader structure remains bullish. BTC is currently trading above all key moving averages, which are acting as dynamic support. However, volume has decreased significantly, indicating a lack of conviction from both sides of the market.

If buyers manage to push BTC above $122K with strong volume, the next leg higher toward new all-time highs could follow. On the other hand, a breakdown below $115K would invalidate the current setup and open the door to a deeper correction. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

A recent viral story shared by TikTok user Steve shows a new level of sophistication in phishing scams. Gone are the days of poorly written emails filled with grammatical and logical errors. Now, scammers have figured out how to mimic real customer support email addresses – in this case, from Coinbase itself. Voice Phishing – ‘Vishing’ Latest Scam Tool The scam follows a consistent pattern. The victim receives an automated voicemail from a U.S. phone number claiming to be Coinbase, warning of suspicious account activity. Then, the scammer makes a live follow-up call from a supposed Coinbase support team member, stating there has been an unauthorized attempt to change the victim’s email and phone number. The scam unfolds quite simply—while attempting to ‘stop’ the supposed unauthorized attempt, the scammers gradually build the victim’s trust and collect information. Eventually, often after multiple calls from different numbers and various ways of ‘confirming’ the scammers were legitimate, the phishing attempt reaches its peak, and the victim is asked for their wallet keyphrase. TikTok user Steve remained suspicious and recognized that asking for a seed phrase is the one inviolable law of crypto: ‘not your keys, not your crypto.’ Give up that seed phrase, and you no longer control your digital assets. But the mix of fear and urgency – stop the threat now! – can compel people to reveal information they would never share otherwise. Phishing Attempts Build Off Leaked Data Trust is built on information, and during interactions, scammers often refer to key personal data. They used his real name and email address obtained through leaked data to appear legitimate. Coinbase experienced several significant data breaches in the past, including a major leak of private information in May. The company estimates that social engineering scams cost them over $300 million annually. It also disclosed that personal data from as many as 97,000 users was exposed through bribed or compromised call center staff. Coinbase branding is also a key part of the scheme, with scammers using websites and emails that closely resemble the real ones. Fraudsters reportedly deceive users through cloned emails, spoofed caller IDs, PBX systems, and even pre-generated seed phrases. Private Keys, Non-Custodial Wallets Key to Defeating Phishing Scams In the end, never divulge your key phrase. And along with that, use a non-custodial wallet. Savvy crypto investors can protect themselves from most attacks by personally keeping your keys and not depending on a third party. Using a wallet with the most recent crypto security features is also important. Luckily, Best Wallet app offers MPC and biometric security – and is fully non-custodial. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – Advanced Security Meets Web3 Utility Best Wallet Token ($BEST) offers the best of both worlds – a no-KYC, non-custodial web3 wallet combined with the latest in crypto security measures.
