After a rapid $3,000 surge on December 17, the rally was just as quickly erased, highlighting a frustrating pattern for investors. This isn\u2019t just random market noise; according to on-chain data firm <\/span><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/insights.glassnode.com\/the-week-onchain-week-50-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Glassnode<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Bitcoin is facing a massive \u201csupply wall\u201d that is capping any further advance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here, I, an on-chain analyst who has used Glassnode and CryptoQuant to track Bitcoin cycles since 2017, will analyze why Bitcoin is stuck, if not free-falling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, what does that mean? Think of it like a housing market. If thousands of people bought houses in a neighborhood for $500,000, and the price suddenly dropped, what would happen when it recovered back to $500k? Many of those owners would rush to sell just to get their money back. <\/span>A $100k buyer in October feels the same \u2018get-me-out\u2019 panic as any retail trader when the price hits $93k for the fourth time without breaking.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Bitcoin, a huge number of coins were last purchased between $93,000 and $110,000. These owners are now acting as a ceiling of sellers, preventing the price from rising higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Who Are the Sellers Creating This Wall?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The data points to two main groups. First are the \u201cshort-term holders\u201d, people who bought in recently at higher prices. <b>STH-MVRV<\/b> is currently below 1.0 and their average purchase price sits around $101,500, meaning they are currently at a loss. Any rally toward their break-even point is met with selling pressure as they look to exit without losing money. This creates constant overhead resistance that new buyers are struggling to absorb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-320975\" src=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bitcoin-Rally-3.jpg\" alt=\"After a rapid $3,000 surge on December 17, the Bitcoin rally was just as quickly erased, highlighting a frustrating pattern for investors.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bitcoin-Rally-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bitcoin-Rally-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bitcoin-Rally-3-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bitcoin-Rally-3-50x28.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to reports, the amount of Bitcoin held at a loss has climbed to 6.7 million BTC, a cycle high.

While the headlines focus on $93k, I\u2019m watching the \u2018Max Pain\u2019 point for the Dec 26 expiry, currently sitting near $88,000. This suggests that market makers have a massive incentive to keep the price pinned below $90k until next Friday, which explains the constant rejection we\u2019re seeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a true breakout to happen, the market needs a new wave of strong, conviction-driven buyers to absorb the massive supply waiting to be sold.
