Bitcoin’s (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) price has experienced mounting sell-side pressure, causing it to shed more than 5.5% over the last seven days and setting a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-sees-oversold-bounce-to-62k-but-will-it-hold#:~:text=Bitcoin%20price%20hit%20a%20six,less%20than%2024%20hours%20later.&amp;text=Analyzing%20the%20current%20market%20structure,%2460%2C000%20zone%20acting%20as%20support.">six-week low at $58,400</a> on June 25. During this sell-off, BTC dropped below its short-term cost basis, risking a deeper correction, according to market intelligence firm Glassnode.
“Since mid-June, the spot price has plunged below the cost basis of both the 1w-1m holders($68.5k) and 1m-3m holders ($66.4k),” Glassnode wrote in its “Week On-chain” newsletter&nbsp;<a href="https://insights.glassnode.com/the-week-onchain-week-26-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">published</a> on June 25.

 “If this structure persists, it has historically resulted in a deterioration of investor confidence, and risks this correction being deeper and taking longer to recover from.”

Data from LookIntoBitcoin reveals that BTC’s breach of the $64,000 level on June 23 saw it fall below the STH realized price at the time, which was $64,591.

In addition, the latest drawdown was inches away from pulling the price below the cost basis of the 3m–6m holders at $57,300, which remains on the rise, even as the price falls.
The report also highlights that the cost basis of the 1w-1m holders has plunged below the 1m–3m cost basis, signaling “a diminishing momentum in the demand side, and a net capital outflow from the asset.”
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “During previous bull markets, a negative capital flow structure has occurred up to five times. We can also see that this structure has been in play since May and into early June.”
