The Bitcoin price is approaching a decisive moment, according to the head of a 
major crypto analytics firm. A clearly defined price threshold has been 
identified, and falling below it could accelerate the current downturn. The 
warning centers on how both market structure and investor behavior may shift 
if this level fails, raising concerns about a deeper and more aggressive bear 
phase. Crypto CEO Flags A Critical Bitcoin Price Level Joao Wedson, founder of 
the crypto analytics platform called “Alphractal”, has issued a warning about 
a critical price level that could shape the next phase of the Bitcoin market. 
According to Wedson, $60,490 represents the realized price of Binance’s 
Bitcoin reserve, effectively the average cost basis of the exchange’s entire 
BTC holdings. Related Reading: What Happens To The XRP Price If The 5D 
Bottoming Blueprint Repeats Itself? As long as Bitcoin trades above this 
level, Binance’s reserve remains in profit. However, a sustained drop below 
$60,490 would push the largest exchange-held Bitcoin reserve into unrealized 
loss. In practical terms, that shift would mean the bulk of BTC held on 
Binance was acquired at higher prices than the current market value. This is 
why Wedson views the level as more than just another technical support. 
Realized price metrics tied to large reserves often function as structural 
market boundaries. When the price holds above them, it signals that major 
holders remain comfortably in profit and have little pressure to distribute 
their coins. That dynamic can help stabilize the market during periods of 
volatility. But the structure changes if that threshold breaks. Wedson noted a 
similar scenario in the 2022 bear market, when Bitcoin stayed below Binance’s 
reserve realized price for months. During that time, large holders faced 
unrealized losses, keeping downward pressure on the market. This matters 
because holders in profit are less likely to sell, but once losses appear, 
selling pressure can rise as they seek to limit further downside. Because 
Binance controls the largest Bitcoin reserve among exchanges, the $60,490 
level carries broader market implications. If Bitcoin loses this zone 
decisively, it would remove a key profitability cushion for one of the 
market’s largest holders. According to Wedson, that type of structural shift 
is exactly the kind of development that tends to deepen bear markets. Related

implications extend beyond institutional positioning to overall market 
sentiment. A decisive break below the identified level could weaken confidence 
among participants, reinforcing negative expectations. As sentiment shifts, 
more investors may adopt defensive strategies, contributing to additional 
selling pressure. This interaction between price movement and psychology 
creates a feedback loop. Declines can trigger fear, which in turn leads to 
further declines. Wedson’s warning highlights how this cycle could intensify 
if the key level fails. However, he believes that if Bitcoin holds above it, 
the market may retain a degree of stability. If it falls below, the conditions 
described point toward a deepening bear market. Featured image created with
