Bitcoin Pauses Near $77,100 as Long-Term Holder Selling Forms Overhead Resistance
CryptoQuant data indicates a substantial accumulation of long-term holder supply between $77,100 and $80,200 is slowing Bitcoin's upward momentum.
Bitcoin traded near $77,100 on Friday following a rally that took it from under $65,000 in mid-August to over $82,000. According to analysis from CryptoQuant, the cryptocurrency is currently meeting heavy resistance in the $77,100 to $80,200 range, where long-term holders disposed of roughly 539,000 BTC over a 30-day window in 2026.
The analytics firm notes that buyers must clear several hurdles to sustain the rally, beginning with a daily close above the 365-day moving average at $81,700, which previously rejected an advance in early September. If that barrier is cleared, technical models point to higher valuation bands at $83,600 and $88,700. On the downside, CryptoQuant identifies the 200-day moving average near $70,000 as initial technical support.
The pause comes as U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded their fourth consecutive day of net redemptions, losing $13.29 million on Friday and $462.73 million across the week despite generating $2.60 billion in trading volume. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Ether ETFs took in $216.41 million on Friday, though the report notes this divergence does not confirm direct fund rotation between the two assets.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
