Bitcoin stuck below $94K: Demand fails to kickstart a recovery

ambcryptoPublicado em 2025-12-14Última atualização em 2025-12-14

Resumo

Bitcoin has been consolidating below the $94K resistance level for the past month, unable to sustain a breakout despite multiple tests of this key threshold. Although accumulation by certain addresses and a bullish long-term liquidity outlook—such as all-time highs in global M2—suggest potential for a 2026 rebound, current on-chain metrics reveal weak demand. The apparent demand metric has remained negative since late November, and the realized profit/loss for mid-term holders indicates persistent losses, recently hitting lows not seen since July 2022. These signals reflect significant selling pressure and a lack of capital inflow, underscoring the need for stronger demand to support a recovery toward $100K.

Bitcoin has spent a good chunk of the past month without a clear trend on the price charts.

A recent AMBCrypto report showed that this was likely a consolidation phase, and accumulator addresses were adding BTC to their holdings.

This demand has not been enough to drive prices back above the $94k short-term support zone.

Even though this resistance has been tested multiple times, Bitcoin [BTC] has tended to plummet back toward $89k-$90k over the past two weeks.

The longer-term outlook was a bit more hopeful. Liquidity signals were starting to lean bullish. The global M2 reached all-time highs, which could set the stage for a crypto rebound in 2026.

The Founder and CEO of Alphractal observed in a post on X that Bitcoin was at a key on-chain support.

The realized cap impulse metric, which tracks the rate of change of the BTC realized cap, was at a multi-month support even as prices consolidated below $94k. Why do we not see a breakout yet?

Exploring the lack of demand for Bitcoin

The Bitcoin apparent demand weighs new demand against supply from newly mined BTC and supply from long-term holders. The metric has been negative since late November.

For a brief period in November, the apparent demand seemed to grow, but this did not last.

The realized profit and loss for on-chain Bitcoin, held between 1 and 3 months, helps track market sentiment.

It also illuminates capital flow into or out of the market. Over the past two months, the metric showed steady losses for holders.

The drop to $84k recently saw the profit/loss margin stoop to the lowest it has been since July 2022. It signaled investors were facing deep losses and bear market conditions.

Conditions were bleak for the bulls. The price action captured the difficulty buyers faced from incessant selling. A move back above $100k will need sizeable capital inflows, which we do not currently see.

Final Thoughts

Though Bitcoin has tested the $94k local resistance multiple times and was at an important on-chain support, it was unable to rally.
The metrics gave evidence for a lack of demand. This must change to keep alive the hopes of a Bitcoin recovery.

$120 Million Vanishes Overnight! Crypto's 'Steadiest Giant' Stumbles in South America

Summary: Tether's $120 million Bitcoin mining venture in Uruguay, initiated in May 2023, was abruptly shut down in July 2025 when the national power utility UTE cut off electricity. The project, developed in partnership with local firm Microfin in Florida province, was touted as a model for leveraging the country's nearly 98% renewable energy grid. The collapse stemmed from a fundamental contract dispute over electricity supply. Tether interpreted the agreed power volume as a "minimum guaranteed supply," expecting to request more as the mining operation expanded. UTE, however, viewed it as a "strict maximum cap." This disagreement led to frequent power curtailments for the 24/7 mining facility, causing significant revenue loss from lost computing power. Following the 2025 election of left-wing President Yamandú Orsi and a management change at UTE, negotiations broke down. Microfin stopped paying electricity bills in May 2025, formally notified UTE of contract termination in June, and did not attend a final meeting where UTE presented a revised contract. By the July 25 power cut, Microfin's debt approached $5 million. The operation ceased, laying off 30 of its 38 local staff, with all outstanding debts settled by December 2025. The failure highlights key risks for heavy-asset overseas investments: Uruguay's green energy proved not to be cheap energy, especially after the 2024 Bitcoin halving squeezed industry profits. Furthermore, political changes can swiftly alter utility company policies, undermining the long-term regulatory stability critical for such projects. While financially absorbable for Tether, the incident underscores that operational success depends on unambiguous contracts and genuine cost advantages, not just technological scale.

Is Bitcoin Price Lagging? Record Global M2 Money Supply Could Be a Springboard for BTC's Rise

Bitcoin Price Lagging? Record Global Money Supply M2 Could Springboard BTC Growth The global money supply (M2) is expanding rapidly, similar to global debt. The US M2, representing all money circulating in its economy, has reached a record $23.16 trillion. Combined with figures from major economies like the Eurozone, China, and Japan, the global M2 is approximately $103 trillion. Some estimates, however, place it closer to $195 trillion. This surge in liquidity is significant because excess capital often seeks higher returns in assets like precious metals, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin's recent price surge above $81,000 has brought the global M2 metric back into focus. Following a sharp rise in early August after a US Treasury bond buyback announcement, BTC still trades about 37% below its October 2025 all-time high exceeding $126,000. This gap presents a potential "catch-up" trade thesis. Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million contrasts with governments' ability to print fiat currency, making scarce assets like BTC attractive if monetary expansion continues. Historically, Bitcoin's bull cycles in 2017-2018 and 2020-2021 coincided with M2 expansion and increased liquidity. Over the past year, the correlation seemed broken as M2 grew while Bitcoin's price fell sharply from its peak. Observers believe fresh dollars may have remained locked in cash-favorable investments. Some, like Ash Crypto, now suggest a long-awaited alignment between Bitcoin and M2 may be starting, especially as a weakening US Dollar Index this month has seen assets like gold and Bitcoin surge. A softer dollar pressures cash havens and prompts holders to act. While record M2 doesn't guarantee higher Bitcoin prices, a sustained influx of liquidity, a weak dollar, and capital flowing into alternative assets could trigger a catch-up rally sooner than expected. However, changes in these conditions could lead to the opposite outcome.

Blockchain Capital Partner: Tokenization Will Reshape the Underlying Structure of Capital Markets

"Blockchain Capital partner Aleks Larsen argues that tokenization will fundamentally restructure capital markets by solving a costly 'packaging' problem in finance. Currently, assets like mortgages, private equity, and stocks exist in fragmented, incompatible systems, creating huge friction and slowing capital flow. Tokenization introduces a standardized, machine-readable interface for assets—akin to shipping containers for finance. Just as containerization standardized global trade, enabling massive efficiency gains and economic growth, tokens standardize financial rights. This allows platforms, lenders, and custodians to interact with assets directly on a shared network without rebuilding infrastructure for each one. Stablecoins demonstrate this potential, processing volumes rivaling Visa with far lower cost and faster settlement. Beyond payments, tokenization is expanding to assets like U.S. Treasuries, commodities, and private credit, now totaling nearly $400 billion on-chain. This shift changes financial service access: instead of depending on relationships with institutions, services become accessible based on the asset's tokenized properties themselves. DeFi protocols like Aave exemplify this, where assets meeting criteria can be used as collateral programmatically. Ultimately, tokenization will reorganize capital markets around open networks of specialized services, lowering barriers to entry and reducing costs. This could unlock global capital for currently underserved assets—small receivables, regional infrastructure, emerging market credit—integrating them into a seamless, programmable financial system. Combined with AI, tokenization promises to make capital allocation more efficient, transparent, and globally accessible, reshaping how economic value is created and distributed."

Caltech Uses AI to Crack 60-Year-Old Quantum Chemistry Problem: 1 GPU Does the Work of 7800

California Institute of Technology researchers have developed an AI model that dramatically accelerates quantum chemistry simulations, a 60-year-old challenge. By using a Fourier Neural Operator (FNO) to replace the most computationally expensive step in Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, the team reduced the complexity from cubic to near-linear scaling. The model, named Kohn-Sham FNO, learns a forward mapping within the iterative DFT process, akin to a "chain of thought" in LLMs, providing stability and self-correction. This approach outperforms direct-prediction AI models, which suffer from poor extrapolation. Trained on only 8,504 structures covering elements from the first five rows of the periodic table, the model successfully simulated systems with up to 82,500 electrons on a single NVIDIA B300 GPU. In contrast, a comparable 2019 calculation required approximately 7,800 NVIDIA V100 GPUs. The work demonstrates a path for AI to replace repetitive, costly computations in physics without replacing the underlying theory. The researchers have founded a company, Accelerated Understanding, to further develop AI for physical simulation.
