This chart tracks the average cost basis of new Bitcoin holders (blue) with standard deviation bands that historically capture overheating and cooling phases.
Right now:
The STH cost basis sits around $107K.
The +1σ band at $127K is the next major resistance zone.
A decisive breakout above it could open the path to $144K (+2σ), a level where previous cycles often met heavy sell pressure.
The market tends to overextend into these upper bands before correcting.
If $BTC breaks $127K with conviction, the probability of a push toward $144K becomes very real but that’s also where you start seeing serious distribution from newer hands.
In my experience, these levels don’t just tell you where we could go; they tell you when the risk-reward shifts.
Accumulation near cost basis zones is where money is made.
Chasing overheated bands is where emotions get punished.
This isn’t about calling a top, it’s about understanding risk. And right now, the risk curve tells us $127K is the battlefield to watch.
