This growing divergence is creating a complex landscape for traders, as Bitcoin continues to hover below a crucial technical level.

Historically, Bitcoin trading above its 200-day moving average has been a strong indicator of potential returns. However, when it falls below this key level, sharp corrections often follow.

Currently, Bitcoin has been stuck under its 200-day moving average of $64,000 for over a month. This extended period below the average suggests the potential for a deeper correction, possibly towards Bitcoin’s Realized Price of $31,500.

Further compounding this uncertainty, the Bitcoin Exchange Volume Momentum shows a decline in on-chain activity related to exchanges. This decrease in volume hints at reduced investor interest in Bitcoin, which could further dampen any potential for a strong recovery in the near term.
