Bitcoin has broken above $65,500 and, having fully recovered the 13% decline seen at the beginning of July, has entered a clear technical runway toward yearly highs. The catalyst for a potential rally is an abnormal imbalance of forces within the Bitcoin network, where the URPD metric (UTXO Realized Price Distribution) has recorded a sweeping absorption of supply and the formation of the largest hidden support level in history. The shift occurred near $62,000, where major players, including those operating through ETFs, methodically accumulated Bitcoin within the narrow $61,840–$63,111 range until they completely exhausted available seller liquidity.

A recent Solana Foundation update says…
