Since the weekend’s dip, Bitcoin (BTC $68,419.02) has hovered between $70,000 and $79,999 for five straight days—a rare stretch for a range the cryptocurrency usually moves through quickly.

Historically, Bitcoin has spent just around 35 days in this $10,000 bracket, making it one of the least established zones. Prices typically pass through rather than build strong support or resistance.

Longer stays in a range allow positions to accumulate, which can strengthen support. In this case, Bitcoin may continue consolidating here or test the lower boundary before forming a more durable base.

Past movements show similar patterns. During April’s tariff-driven volatility, Bitcoin remained below $80,000 for only a few weeks before rebounding. Likewise, in March 2024, after hitting a then all-time high near $73,000, it spent little time before dropping.

A stark example came in November 2024, after Donald Trump’s presidential election victory, when Bitcoin surged from roughly $68,000 to $100,000 in weeks—leaving minimal room for consolidation between $70,000 and $80,000.

Corporate buying has also been limited. Strategy (MSTR), the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has purchased in this range only once: on Nov. 11, 2024, it acquired 27,200 BTC for about $2 billion at an average price of $74,463.

Overall, the $70,000–$80,000 zone remains structurally thin, highlighting its underdeveloped nature and susceptibility to swift price moves
