As Bitcoin's upward trajectory gains momentum, is a six-figure milestone within reach?

Cryptocurrency analytics company Glassnode assessed the current market outlook after Bitcoin broke through critical cost zones.

According to the company’s report, Bitcoin has risen above both the $78,200 level, defined as the “true market average,” and the $79,100 level, which is the average cost level for short-term investors. Analysts stated that if BTC manages to stay above this region throughout the next week, the “deep value phase,” which has been ongoing since February 2026, could be recorded as one of the shortest periods in Bitcoin history. According to Glassnode, the next critical resistance level in the market is around $85,200. According to the company’s on-chain data, the average net realized profit/loss ratio over the last 30 days has turned positive again, reaching 0.003% of market value. While the amount of profit realized daily by long-term investors rose to $180 million, it was added that this figure remains significantly below the levels exceeding $1 billion at the peak of the current cycle.

However, it was stated that daily realized losses in the market are still at $479 million, which is approximately 140 percent above the stable range seen throughout the cycle. Glassnode noted that realized losses need to fall below $200 million for a healthier recovery to be confirmed.

The report also included noteworthy data regarding institutional demand. The return to positive 30-day net inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs indicated a recovery in institutional investor interest. On the other hand, despite Bitcoin’s rise, funding rates in the futures market remained negative, suggesting a continued concentration of short positions in the market. Analysts stated that if the short squeeze continues, it could create additional upward pressure on the price.

Glassnode also noted that there is a cluster of approximately $2 billion worth of “Short Gamma” positions around $82,000, and that market makers’ hedging transactions could increase volatility. The company believes that Bitcoin’s overall trend remains strong, but the market has now entered a more sensitive phase.

According to analysts, if there is no sustained buying support from the spot market, strong selling pressure is likely in the $85,000 region.
