Bitcoin has struggled to break higher in recent weeks, but new data suggests a big move could be coming. Analysts say the next major target could sit around $82,000.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency recently faced strong resistance near $74,000. However, on-chain data now shows that level may not be as strong as it first appeared.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared fresh insights on X. He pointed to the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) metric, which tracks where investors last bought their Bitcoin. This data helps show where strong support and resistance levels sit.
According to Martinez, Bitcoin has entered a low-resistance zone. There is little investor activity between current prices and around $82,045. That means there are fewer holders likely to sell in that range.
If Bitcoin reaches $82,000, it would mark a gain of more than 17% from current levels. That would be one of the strongest rallies seen so far this year.
However, if the price fails to build momentum, the next major support level sits near $66,898. A drop toward that zone could happen if buying pressure weakens.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $70,820. It is up about 0.5% in the past 24 hours and more than 3% over the past week. For now, traders are watching to see if BTC can turn this quiet phase into its next breakout.
