Bitcoin’s recent drop below $70,000 triggered a wave of aggressive accumulation, with investors scooping up over 429,000 BTC. Glassnode data reveals a strong support zone between $60K–$70K, while analysts debate whether the market has bottomed or if further capitulation looms NEAR $55K. Here’s why long-term holders remain bullish despite short-term volatility.
Why Are Investors Snapping Up Bitcoin Below $70K?
Every major bitcoin correction follows a familiar script: panic sellers clash with opportunistic buyers. This time, Glassnode’s "Entity-Adjusted URPD" metric shows a staggering 429,000 BTC accumulated after Bitcoin slid from $80,000 to $70,000 in just five days. The $60K–$70K range now holds 1.43 million BTC—a 43% surge since January 2026—suggesting strong conviction at these levels.

Has Bitcoin Found Its Bottom at $70K?
Not so fast, say CryptoQuant analysts. While the $60K–$70K zone shows robust demand (now representing 8% of circulating supply), historical patterns suggest final capitulation often occurs 10-15% below major support levels. Their data points to $55,000 as the next critical test. "This feels like 2024’s $38K retest before the final plunge to $30K," notes BTCC senior analyst Liam Chen. "True bottoms need panic—we’re not there yet."
The Long-Term Play: Why Accumulation Matters
Despite the uncertainty, three factors favor bulls:
- Institutional footprints: 72% of recent buys came from wallets holding 100+ BTC (per CoinMetrics).
- Exchange reserves hit a 4-year low this week, signaling reduced sell pressure.
- Derivatives data shows shorts dominating—a classic contrarian indicator.

How low could Bitcoin go?
CryptoQuant’s "Miner Position Index" suggests $55K WOULD force weak hands to surrender—similar to December 2025’s flush before the rally.
