Experts named the reasons for Bitcoin's transition to consolidation after the test of $105,000

• The lack of activity from impulse traders has led to the consolidation of bitcoin's price.
• The MVRV Z-Score indicator is significantly below peak levels in previous bull cycles.
• There is a rapid expansion of global liquidity ( monetary aggregate M2).

The突破 of the psychological level of $100,000 has sparked the interest of "new" Bitcoin buyers, while experienced traders exercise caution. This was noted by Glassnode.

The 30-day relative strength index of "pioneer buyers" has remained at 100 throughout the week, indicating high interest from these players.

The demand from impulse traders, in turn, remains weak — the corresponding indicator is at level 11.

CoinDesk emphasized that the high activity of "new" participants hints at retail FOMO — the dominance of emotions rather than a reasoned assessment of the situation.

CryptoQuant analysts noted a continued increase in realized capitalization, confirming the upward trend in Bitcoin.

This disposition allowed analysts of the service to expect further price growth to $110,000, especially in the context of reducing uncertainty in the trading sphere between the USA and China.

Recall that Standard Chartered urged to buy the first cryptocurrency and predicted its quotes to rise to $120,000 in the IV quarter.

Earlier at K33 Research, bitcoin investors were urged not to fear May, citing expectations for the realization of a mass of catalysts triggered by initiatives from U.S. President Donald Trump.
