Bitcoin has climbed above a key price zone that analysts had flagged as a 
major obstacle — and that move is drawing fresh attention to who actually 
holds the coin. Related Reading: Swiss Bitcoin Reserve Effort Withdrawn After 
Resistance From Central Bank Long-Term Holders Absorb More Supply Around 
830,000 BTC has left short-term trader wallets in recent months, pushing the 
share of Bitcoin held by long-term addresses to 78%, up from 74% in the 
previous cycle. Data from on-chain tracking account Alphractal shows the shift 
is one of the largest recorded in recent memory. As more supply gets locked 
away in long-term wallets, the amount available for active trading keeps 
shrinking. That tightening supply tends to work in favor of prices during 
periods of steady demand. When fewer coins are circulating, selling pressure 
during price dips tends to be weaker. Reports indicate that long-term holders 
have been absorbing supply consistently relative to price movements, which has 
contributed to thinner liquidity across the market. 𝟳𝟴.𝟯% 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗧𝗖 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄

— Alphractal (@Alphractal) May 9, 2026 Price Structure Points To A Range With 
High Stakes Bitcoin recently broke through a resistance zone between $78,000 
and $80,000 — a range that had acted as a bearish block. According to an 
analyst, that zone has now flipped to support, and the next target to the 
upside sits at $90,000. But the setup carries risk on both sides. If that 
newly established support level fails to hold, a pullback toward $68,000 — and 
possibly as low as $60,000 — becomes a real possibility. Reports note that 
tighter liquidity zones increase the chance of sharp moves at key price 
levels, making the $78,000 area especially critical for short-term direction. 
A rejection at $82,000 could also be enough to swing momentum back toward the 
bears, according to the same analysis. Higher Timeframe Still Shows Caution 
Zooming out, the picture is less clear. Bitcoin remains in a corrective phase 
after reaching an all-time high of $120,000, wi th lower highs and lower lows 
forming despite brief rallies. The price is still trading below resistance at 
$97,000, a level analysts say would need to be reclaimed to signal a stronger 
shift in trend. Related Reading: XRP Market Now Controlled By Whales? 
Dominance Reaches 91% On Binance Two major supply zones between $79,000 and 
$94,000 continue to sit overhead, acting as a ceiling for the current rally. A 
support channel has been forming since prices bounced from around $59,000. The 
data points to a market where long-term conviction is rising but short-term 
direction remains unsettled. Whether buyers can hold the ground they&#8217;ve gained 
will likely shape the next significant move. Featured image from Unsplash,
