BTC pulls back: where are the entry points?
Based on BlockHorizon’s Bitcoin cost-basis distribution and institutional holding costs, we can identify several ranges worth watching.
At the time of writing, BTC is trading at around $85,000.
In the $84,000–$87,000 range, long-term holders have accumulated around 1 million BTC. On October 2, BTC broke above $87,000 but failed to hold.
If it can’t establish itself above $87,000 soon, there’s still a chance of a short-term pullback.
🔹 $81,700: The average cost basis of U.S. spot ETF holders. If BTC falls below this level, redemption pressure may return.
🔹 $80,500: The combined cost basis of publicly listed companies’ treasuries. These companies have noticeably slowed their accumulation over the past three months.
🔹 $76,000–$77,000: The True Market Mean, the midpoint for actively traded supply. If BTC falls below this level and can’t reclaim it, this recovery phase is over.
🔹 $75,400: Strategy’s average cost basis. It’s the company that keeps buying, but this is its cost on paper—not buy orders waiting to provide support.
🔹 $73,000: The cost basis of buyers from the past 3–6 months—the group that reacts fastest.
🔹 $62,000–$65,000: A deeper short-term supply wall, which only comes into play if all the levels above fail.
But if BTC holds above $87,000, these levels will all be behind us, and the window to get in may close.
There’s also a cost-basis range of $88,000–$95,000 above, but if BTC really reaches those levels, there’ll be even fewer opportunities to get in.
So, if BTC can’t hold above $87,000:
Watch $82,000 first, then $80,500 and $77,000.
$65,000 isn’t the default target for this cycle.
These cost levels are reference ranges based on public data and market estimates, not actual buy orders.
If a pullback does happen, these are the levels I’ll be watching first.
