Summary

Bitcoin's realized capitalization has crossed the $1 trillion threshold for the first time, according to Glassnode, coinciding with BTC's spot price reaching an all-time high above $123,000. This metric, which values Bitcoin based on the price at which each coin last moved on-chain, highlights the actual capital stored in the network. Analysts caution that Bitcoin must break a key resistance level at $123,370 to target further highs, with potential new targets between $143,000 and $146,000 if successful.
