Bitcoin Builds Massive Trading Base Between $60,000 and $70,000

Bitcoin has spent 307 days consolidating between $60,000 and $70,000, making it the third-longest period the cryptocurrency has remained within a $10,000 price range.

Bitcoin is currently trading around the $64,000 level, extending its stay inside the $60,000–$70,000 zone for more than 300 days.

According to Glassnode data, this trading range now ranks as the third-longest consolidation phase within any $10,000 price bracket in bitcoin’s history. Only the $10,000–$20,000 and $20,000–$30,000 ranges have seen longer periods of sideways movement.

Technically, bitcoin continues to hold above its 200-week moving average, which is currently positioned near $62,873. This metric is considered an important indicator of bitcoin’s long-term trend, with previous declines below this level generally proving short-lived.

Even with BTC holding steady near $64,000, the asset remains about 50% below its October all-time high, highlighting the gap between current prices and previous peak levels.

On-chain data also suggests that a large concentration of investor cost basis sits around the current trading range. Glassnode’s Entity-Adjusted UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD), which measures the prices where bitcoin was last transferred between economic entities, shows that around 6% of circulating supply changed hands between $58,000 and $64,000.

Whether bitcoin eventually breaks upward or falls below this range remains uncertain. However, the lengthy consolidation has created one of the largest areas of accumulated cost basis in bitcoin’s history, making this zone a key area for future price action.
