🕵️ The Week On-Chain 18, 2026
Bulls Approach the Ceiling

#BTC pushes beyond $80K toward key resistance near $85K, with bulls in control. ETF demand builds and shorts persist, but overhead supply may cap upside without stronger spot follow-through.

Executive Summary
- Bitcoin has broken above the True Market Mean at $78.2K and Short-Term Holder Cost Basis at $79.1K, with holding above these levels suggesting a short-lived deep value phase and $85.2K as the next key resistance.

- Glassnode’s Moderate Strategy has re-entered allocation after BTC reclaimed ~$76K, capturing recent upside while maintaining a focus on downside protection.

- Front-end implied volatility has repriced higher following the breakout, while realized volatility lags, rebuilding a positive volatility risk premium. #etf
