Bitcoin (BTC) Price May See a Pullback as the $95,000 Resistance Level Stands Between Impending Decline

During the ongoing market uptrend, Bitcoin continues to lead the bullish wave as the leading crypto asset records significant gains

Bitcoin faces a critical test at $95,000, a pivotal price level that could decide whether there is enough fuel left for the ongoing market uptrend to continue.

This level could form the foundation for more bullish activity or a potential pullback, according to technical and on-chain expert Ali Martinez.

"Attention shifts to the $95k zone, which has acted both as a launchpad and barrier throughout history," Martinez stated.

Bitcoin is currently testing the $95,000 mark, showcasing the possibility of an uptrend due to bullish sentiment in the market.

However, if BTC fails to hold above this level, the next possible pullback might cause its price to drop to $92,000.

While this $95,000 milestone is believed to ignite widespread on-chain engagement, transaction volume, and active addresses remain at low levels, even amid market enthusiasm.

Advanced on-chain data and investment platform Alphractal noted a waning interest in the Bitcoin blockchain.

“The high price of Bitcoin doesn't necessarily equal more people using the blockchain itself. Transaction volumes are still low, and network activity is cooling off despite the enthusiasm,” the platform stated.

It is worth noting that the reduction in on-chain activity indicates that the renewed investors’ enthusiasm might not yet be reflected in actual network usage.

Currently, on-chain dynamism is occurring elsewhere, whereas Bitcoin is being viewed more like a financial asset, suggesting a notable shift in dynamics.

According to Alphractal, the decrease in blockchain activity is related to historically low volatility. This is because traders are less motivated to act when there is little price movement, which results in fewer on-chain transactions.

Considering the development, Alphractal stated that the current uptrend seems to be driven by external factors. Institutional interest and capital inflows through Spot Bitcoin Exchange-Trade Funds (ETFs) have recently impacted Bitcoin’s current value more than actual blockchain deployment.

Another reason for this disconnection is artificial crypto exchange volumes, as some platforms may be inflated, giving the impression of increased activity when actual network usage remains low.

Limited practical demand is not left out. During this period, prices are maintained primarily by financial instruments and derivatives speculation rather than by widespread blockchain adoption.

Bitcoin blockchain’s fading interest is also due to the market entering into a consolidation phase.

Alphractal stated that investors are waiting for lucid signs or macro developments, leading to a reduction in coin movements.

Even as BTC’s price moves upward, adoption and on-chain transactions have been shifted to layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network rather than the Bitcoin Blockchain.

Alphractal highlighted a speculative use of other major networks. Typically, high-traffic areas such as Decentralized Finance (DeFi), staking, and meme coin activity are being drawn to networks like Ethereum, Solana, and Base.
