Q: What is the True Market Mean and why does it matter?
The True Market Mean is a Glassnode metric currently sitting at $78,100. Bitcoin recently broke above it, which analysts describe as a development with meaningful cyclical significance. However, the next key upside target is at $80,500, the Short-Term Holder Cost Basis, and reaching it could trigger further profit-taking from recent buyers.

Q: Is a correction inevitable at this point?
Not necessarily, but the risks are real. As Moreno noted, a correction becomes likely if traders start taking profits while spot demand continues to contract. Glassnode echoed this, stating that without a meaningful demand catalyst capable of absorbing the current wave of profit realization, a pullback would be entirely consistent with the patterns seen so far this year. The key question is whether fresh demand can step in to absorb the selling pressure.
