BTC Holds $60K as Realized Price Data Signals Crucial Support Levels

Bitcoin (BTC) recently stabilized around the 2023 realized price of $63,700, reflecting the average cost basis of investors from last year. This level acted as support during the February dip, when BTC fell roughly 50% from its October 2025 peak to near $60,000. Analysts note that this mirrors previous market cycles, where realized prices repeatedly served as support during corrections.

Next Support Levels Identified

The broader aggregate realized price of all BTC in circulation sits near $54,360, historically a major floor during bear markets. Should BTC break the $60,000 support, the next key level to watch is this historical realized price, which has held during downturns in 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2022.

Current Cohort Analysis

The 2026 cohort of Bitcoin buyers has an average cost basis near $77,000, leaving most positions underwater with BTC trading just above $70,000. In comparison, 2024 and 2025 cohorts hold cost bases of $81,500 and $96,400, respectively. These metrics highlight the layered support and resistance zones traders can monitor for risk management and potential accumulation opportunities.

Bitcoin’s adherence to realized price levels underscores the importance of onchain cost basis metrics in tracking market health and investor behavior.
