Glassnode went on to mention that a few recent blocks on the Bitcoin network have seen outlandish fees paid of around 5.87 BTC. According to the tweet, this approached 94% of the 6.25 BTC block subsidy.

Daily chart for BTC/USDT (Source: TradingView)
BTC’s price lost the support of the 9-day and 20-day EMA lines in the past 48 hours, and continued to trade below the two EMA lines at press time. Bulls may identify the crypto’s current price as a buy opportunity given that it is resting on the $27,800 support level – a level from which BTC’s price has already bounced off of in the last week.
Should traders take advantage of the buy opportunity, BTC’s price will most likely make a move toward the resistance level of $29,600 in the next week. One thing that may serve as an obstacle in BTC’s recovery to the resistance level is the Core Inflation Rate data being released on Wednesday, as negative news will result in a price pullback.
