Bitcoin price is at risk of falling to $23,000, but that appears not to bother large holders of the flagship digital asset who have been accumulating BTC at a very high rate.
Ali Martinez, BeInCrypto’s Global Head of News, citing on-chain data from Glassnode, noted that BTC lacks strong support below the $25,400 mark. He said the market could see a swift correction to around $23,000 if the price fell below the threshold.
ETF Influencing Bitcoin Price ActionGiven that the asset is currently trading at $25,841, according to BeInCrypto data, the risk of breaking that support level is real. The extreme volatility of recent weeks further complicates matters.

The announcement of Grayscale’s legal success led to a surge in BTC value, but optimism waned as the SEC postponed its decision on the pending ETF applications before it.
Market observers assert that the asset currently teeters on a precarious edge, with the dominance of either bullish or bearish sentiments poised to dictate its future trajectory. Blockchain analytical firm IntoTheBlock said:
“Bearish sentiment may trigger a rush to break even, adding to sell volume. However, If there is enough strong bullish momentum, for example, because of an ETF approval, Bitcoin could breeze through these roadblocks.”

Long-Term Holders UnbotheredMeanwhile, data from IntoTheBlock shows that addresses holding 0.1% of BTC supply or more added more than $1.5 billion worth of the asset within the last two weeks.

The net flow has steadily increased after experiencing a decline in early August, hitting a low point on August 22. Notably, a significant surge in net flow was observed between August 28 and 29.
This period coincided with the SEC’s postponement of its decision regarding spot Bitcoin ETF applications, a time when the flagship cryptocurrency exhibited signs of exceptional volatility.
Additionally, Glassnode data shows that the supply of long-term holders is now very close to 15 million. By comparison, short-term holders currently hold around 2 million of the supply.
