The figure has fallen to -0.00095, a reading the analyst said showed that \u201cMarket Cap is falling faster than Realized Cap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This trend, they explained, places Bitcoin below its fundamental growth path, a setup that historically appears near periods of weakening structure.<\/p>\n<h2>Mixed Price Outlook<\/h2>\n<p>At the time of GugaOnChain\u2019s analysis, Bitcoin was trading around $92,000, well under the level they consider necessary for a firm breakout attempt.\u00a0According to them, failing to hold nearby supports could open the door to a slide toward $90,000, with deeper cushions sitting between $85,000 and $87,000.<\/p>\n<p>They stressed that Bitcoin \u201cis at a decisive moment, where confirmation of a new price threshold or a big correction will depend on its ability to sustain a breakout above the $100,000 line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recall that repeated tests of the $93,500 resistance have <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-tests-93-5k-again-heres-why-this-time-could-be-different\/\">produced<\/a> smaller pullbacks each time, suggesting fading sell pressure, a pattern that once hinted at stronger upward potential. Meanwhile, a recent Bitfinex Alpha market note pointed out that heavy deleveraging and short-term holder capitulation may have <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/is-bitcoin-near-a-bottom-early-indicators-point-to-yes-bitfinex-alpha\/\">pushed<\/a> BTC close to a cycle bottom.<\/p>\n<p>The OG crypto was priced around the $91,500 level at the time of writing, down nearly 2% on the day and just slightly lower over the last week. However, the month-long picture shows a bigger 10% slide, even though it remains up roughly 11% over the past two weeks following its recovery from mid-November lows near $84,000.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoins-struggle-at-100000-reveals-underlying-market-stress\/\">Bitcoin\u2019s Struggle at $100,000 Reveals Underlying Market Stress<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin (BTC) is wrestling with the pivotal $100,000 mark, a battle that has exposed significant structural softness in its market foundation.
