The Bitcoin price suffered significant bearish pressure over the past week, dragging down alongside it a large portion of the general crypto market. The premier cryptocurrency tumbled as low as $59,500 at some point in the week — its lowest in nearly two months. While investors will be hoping that the worst is over, it is difficult to determine whether BTC is ready to resume its bullish run. In any case, a prominent crypto intelligence firm has identified a price level critical to the future trajectory of the Bitcoin price. $56,000 The Ultimate Support Level For Bitcoin: CryptoQuant In a recent report, the blockchain analytics platform CryptoQuant put forward an interesting prognosis for the price of Bitcoin over the coming days. According to the firm, the $56,000 price level is an important level to the future performance of the premier cryptocurrency.

Experts Weigh In The relevant indicator here is Metcalfe price valuation bands, which pinpointed resistance levels and tops in the previous cycle. However, as shown in the chart below, these bands (the red line) acted as a critical support area in May. For context, the Metcalfe Law states that the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of its users. Basically, this law suggests that the value of the cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) is intrinsically linked to the size and activity of its network.  The Metcalfe price valuation bands are derived from this principle, providing a valuation framework associated with the network effect. These bands create a range of price levels that evaluate where Bitcoin should theoretically trade based on the network fundamentals. Historically, these bands have acted as both reliable resistance and support levels in different market cycles. In recent months, the $56,000 level has been a pivot point for the indicator, providing a strong support for the Bitcoin price in May. According to CryptoQuant’s report, the price level might prove to be vital should the premier cryptocurrency face additional downward pressure. However, if the Bitcoin price dips below this level, the market leader could experience a major correction. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the Bitcoin price has returned to around the $60,700 mark, reflecting a 2% decline in the last 24 hours. The coin’s performance on the weekly timeframe is deeper in the red. According to data from CoinGecko, BTC is down by more than 6% in the past week. Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency ranks as the largest asset in the sector, with a market capitalization of over $1.18 trillion.
