Qu'est-ce qui empêche le prix du Bitcoin de dépasser les 80 000 dollars ?

[라온]

Bitcoin (BTC) is struggling to enter a stronger breakout phase above $80,000, as capital inflows into the BTC market remain below levels seen in past bull runs. BTC futures traders are also staying cautious, while a growing number of investors who have held for the past six months may look to sell into key resistance levels, according to new analysis.

Bitcoin capital inflows remain muted: Glassnode

The Week On-chain report from Glassnode stated that Bitcoin’s 30-day realized cap net position change recently climbed to $2.8 billion per month. The metric tracks the amount of new capital entering the BTC market over 30 days.

The positive flows helped support the BTC recovery from April's lows near $65,000. But previous breakout phases during the 2023–2025 rally were accompanied by much bigger capital rotations. The slower pace of capital entering the market this year has raised doubts about whether Bitcoin can rally above the $80,000–$82,000 range.

Glassnode also flagged a growing cluster of holders near the $86,900 level. These investors accumulated BTC during the November-to-February period and are now approaching breakeven. These holders could sell near their entry price after extended drawdowns, creating a large overhead supply zone that may stall Bitcoin’s rally.

Short-term buyers continue to support the market around $76,900, which marks the average cost basis for coins acquired over the past 30 days. This indicates fresh demand is still entering the market at lower levels, even as overhead supply is concentrated closer to $87,000.

BTC futures traders stay cautious

Bitcoin researcher Axel Adler Jr. said that the buying activity across spot and futures markets has started to cool after Bitcoin’s recent push above $80,000. The 30-day net taker volume indicator rose to +2.0 on May 6 before dropping to +1.25 on Wednesday. The metric shows whether buyers or sellers are in control.

BTC buyer pressure has dropped roughly 35% from last week, showing traders are becoming less aggressive as Bitcoin trades near $80,000. Adler noted that past corrections in the +0.3 range often coincide with slower price action or sideways periods.

At the same time, the 30-day Bitcoin funding rate has remained negative since March. Negative funding means the short traders are paying long traders to keep their positions open, showing that bears still dominate futures activity.

Even with Bitcoin reclaiming the $80,000 range, BTC futures traders have not added long positions needed to support a decisive breakout. Adler said a move back above zero in funding rates would offer the first stronger sign of renewed bullish positioning.

Meanwhile, Alphractal CEO Joao Wedson said Bitcoin still needs stronger money flows before a larger bull market can begin. Wedson pointed to the Realized Cap Impulse metric, which tracks whether fresh capital is entering or leaving the Bitcoin market.

The indicator remains slightly below zero, showing fresh capital inflows have not yet returned to the levels typically seen during stronger Bitcoin breakout phases. Wedson said a move back above zero would signal that investors are putting fresh capital back into Bitcoin.
