Bitcoin is approaching a “maximum pain” range between $73,000 and $84,000, as analysts highlight the current price decline as a potential deep discount opportunity tied to major institutional cost bases.
The maximum pain range matches the cost bases of major institutional holders of Bitcoin, including the IBIT exchange-traded product and BlackRock’s strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy.
Analysts describe the current market downturn as a discount zone influenced by these institutional positions, suggesting that the price drop could represent a strategic entry point for investors looking to accumulate Bitcoin at levels near major institutional cost bases.
