Bitcoin's path to $100,000 faces heavy seller resistance, signaling crowded upside.
Context
What happened: Bitcoin rebounded over the summer, rose above $87,000, then fell back to about $80,000, with investors selling into rallies to break even or take profits.
Key numbers: Bitcoin above $87,000 at one point, back to $80,000 and around $80,500 on Tuesday. Polymarket odds of $100,000 by year end at 17%, $110,000 at 9%.
Why it matters: Glassnode says a close below $81,500 puts the average ETF holder at a loss and removes the nearest on-chain support. Bitcoin remains tied to tech and macro forces, and executives including Bitget's Gracy Chen say a pure bull run is not confirmed yet.
