Bitcoin price has been struggling to break above the $88,000 resistance level, hindering a retest of $90,000 before the end of Q1.
Constant sell-side pressure from short-term holders is a major factor holding Bitcoin under $90,000, with a surge in supply held at a loss.
A contraction of liquidity conditions and a lack of new demand are also limiting Bitcoin's ability to surpass the $90,000 threshold.
However, the Long-Term Holder cohort holds almost 40% of the network's wealth, which could lead to better conditions for increased demand in the future.
