After the early-week jitters, the Bitcoin price eventually mustered the bullish momentum<\/a> that has become a mainstay of its weekly performance. Rising from its sub-$74,000 ashes, the premier cryptocurrency soared to an almost three-month high above $79,000 on Wednesday, April 22.<\/p>\n

However, there has been a minor concern about Bitcoin\u2019s price failing to breach $80,000 in its latest rally. Below is an on-chain perspective on why the market leader\u2019s price action has slowed over the past few days.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Price Faces Significant Resistance At $80K<\/b><\/h2>\n

In a new post on the social media platform X, Alphractal CEO and founder Joao Wedson has offered<\/a> one reason why the Bitcoin price struggled to break $80,000 in recent days. According to the pundit, BTC\u2019s price faced resistance at a relevant on-chain level known as the True Market Mean Price.<\/p>\n

For context, the True Market Mean Price is a metric that estimates the average cost basis of active market participants. This on-chain indicator excludes dormant (or lost) coins and miner revenue, focusing on the real, circulating portion of the supply.<\/p>\n

The True Market Mean Price distinguishes between traders and long-term dormant holders, providing a more precise average cost basis for active participants (who tend to have a greater impact on the price). Hence, it functions as a dynamic support and resistance level, due to its psychological relevance to traders.<\/p>\n

\"Bitcoin<\/p>\n

As Wedson noted in his post, the True Market Mean Price is one of the reasons the Bitcoin price failed to maintain its rally above $79,000. As shown in the chart above, the on-chain metric also provided significant support<\/a> for the premier cryptocurrency in late 2025.<\/p>\n

Wedson added that even if the price of BTC breaks the True Market Mean, it would be best for investors to wait about 3 days for confirmation of a breakout. \u201cOtherwise, the higher probability is that bears may gain some control over price in the coming days\/week,\u201d the Alphractal founder warned.<\/p>\n

Crowd FOMO Crashes $80K Party For BTC<\/b><\/h2>\n

Another reason the Bitcoin price momentum slowed was a shift in investor sentiment<\/a>, with the crypto crowd moving into FOMO (fear of missing out) mode on Thursday, April 23rd. According to Santiment, the market was euphoric \u2014 a clear caution signal \u2014 as premier cryptocurrency approached $80,000.<\/p>\n

Prices can continue to rally, and a breach above this resistance level would be massive in bringing in new and returning traders. However, it will ideally happen when optimism calms down just slightly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $77,588, reflecting a mere 0.3% dip in the past 24 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n
