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