Monero Faces Looming 51% Attack Threat From Rival Blockchain Qubic

Top market analyst Ali Martinez has shared on-chain data that tips Bitcoin to 
reach a $130,000 valuation, albeit on one condition. This bullish price 
prediction comes following a slight 2.6% price rebound over the past two days, 
pushing Bitcoin within the $118,000 price range. Related Reading: Bitcoin 
Price Could Still Tumble Down To $109,000 — This Chart Pattern Suggests So 
$110K Emerges As Crucial Bitcoin Support Zone &#8211; Here&#8217;s Why In an X post on 
July 26, Ali Martinez postulates that Bitcoin may be on track for a 
significant leg higher based on recent data from the MVRV pricing bands by 
Glassnode. However, the premier cryptocurrency must avoid losing a certain 
support zone to prevent an invalidation of this bullish thesis. The MVRV 
bands, derived from Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratios, help 
visualize when Bitcoin is either overvalued or undervalued relative to its 
historical realized price. These bands function like Bollinger Bands but are 
grounded in on-chain fundamentals, tracking statistical deviations around the 
mean MVRV value. As of July 23, 2025, Bitcoin was trading at approximately 
$118,782, following a steady climb over recent weeks. According to the MVRV 
pricing model, the cryptocurrency was hovering just beneath the +1.0σ 
deviation band, marked at $130,756, representing the next major price 
resistance and target. Notably, the +1.0σ band is also interpreted as a key 
zone of extreme market optimism, often preceding local tops (+2.0σ) On the 
other hand, the model&#8217;s +0.5σ band sat at $109,858 below the current market 
prices, serving as a vital support threshold. Ali Marinez explains that 
Bitcoin must maintain its price level above this band to retain a high 
probability of continuation toward the +1.0σ level target based on historical 
patterns. However, a breakdown below $110,000 could signal a deeper 
correction, potentially down to the mean band at around $88,960, or lower 
toward $68,062 (-0.5σ). Related Reading: AVAX Ready For Range Breakout – Bulls 
Eye $36 Price Target Bitcoin Investors Take Profits With Rising Market 
Confidence According to more data from the MVRV model, the growing distance 
between BTC’s realized price, around $50,831, and its present market price 
reflects growing investor conviction. For context, the realized price 
represents the average cost basis of all coins in circulation, thereby 
indicating how deeply in profit the average Bitcoin holder is at the moment. 
At press time, the premier cryptocurrency trades at $118,178 following a 0.73% 
in the past day. However, the daily trading volume is significantly down by 
53.39% and valued at $47.98 billion. According to price prediction site 
Coincodex, the Bitcoin market sentiment remains largely bullish, with the Fear 
&amp; Greed Index nearing extreme greed at 72. Coincodex analysts project the 
leading cryptocurrency to maintain its current rebound, rising to $122,019 in 
five days and $141,075 in a month. Featured image from iStock, chart from
