The analysis focused on how those resistance levels could determine whether recent recovery attempts develop into a sustained reversal.<\/p>\n<p>The chart in the analysis mapped <span>Bitcoin UTXO<\/span> age bands against realized price levels for different holder cohorts. It identified the 3-month to 6-month realized price near $88,879 as the first line of overhead supply above spot price. Another resistance wall appeared near $93,446 for the 12-month to 18-month cohort. The heaviest concentration came from the 6-month to 12-month band near $111,851, which remained roughly 29% above <span>BTC<\/span> spot price at the time of the study. The analysis stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cEvery one of these levels is a break-even exit point for a different wave of trapped buyers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <span>UTXO<\/span> age bands track <span>bitcoin<\/span> supply based on how long coins have remained unmoved since their last transaction. The chart separated holder groups into time-based cohorts, allowing the study to identify where different groups of underwater investors may begin selling if <span>BTC<\/span> approaches their average acquisition prices.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_812396\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-812396\" style=\"width:1350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-812396\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chart of <span>Bitcoin<\/span>: Realized Price \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-are-bitcoin-utxos\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UTXO<\/a> Age Bands shared by Cryptoquant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2> <span>BTC<\/span> Reclaim Above $88.88K Could Shift Holder Positioning<\/h2>\n<p>Realized price reflects the average acquisition cost for holders within each age band.
