Bitcoin (BTC) may be holding above $90,000, but data implied that its price is still flashing a significant risk-off signal. CryptoQuant’s multi-metric risk-off oscillator remained near the “High-Risk” zone, a level that historically precedes corrections and diminishes the probability of a sustained bullish trend.

Key takeaways:

  • Bitcoin’s risk-off signal was positioned near “High-Risk” territory, which has previously indicated a bearish period.

  • BTC’s Profit–Loss sentiment has hit a rare -3 extreme, signalling a structural correction.

  • BTC’s -32% drawdown placed it between a correction and capitulation zone, which may prolong the decline between $90,000 and $80,000.

However, long-term holder (LTH) losses remain comparatively muted, a dynamic that historically reflects core holder resilience and has sometimes cushioned deeper capitulation in past cycles.

$100,000 Bitcoin is a battle between the momentum and the trend 

One CryptoQuant analyst described Bitcoin’s approach to $100,000 as a “psychological turning point.” While a breakout could trigger renewed momentum, possibly helped by a Federal Reserve interest rate cut on Wednesday, major round numbers often produce volatility and failed attempts.

The growth rate difference (Market Cap vs. Realized Cap) remained at -0.00095, indicating that the market cap is shrinking faster than the realized cap. With BTC currently at $91,000, the analyst leaned more toward structural weakness rather than trend expansion.
