Bitcoin Is Showing A Bullish Signal Unseen Potential From 2021

Some analysts say that cryptos are losing part of their attraction since the hazards associated with financial upheaval seem to be fading. Nonetheless, this is still a “safe” price zone, and a lesser-known but accurate Bitcoin price indicator has turned positive, indicating the start of a large bull market.

According to blockchain analytics startup Glassnode, Bitcoin’s reserve risk multiple has gone over zero, becoming positive for the first time since October 2021. Previous above-zero crosses cleared the door for parabolic price surges.

Reserve risk, according to Glassnode, is a long-term cyclical indicator that compares the incentive to sell at the prevailing market price to long-term holders who resist the desire to liquidate. A lower number shows great conviction among HODLers, or long-term cryptocurrency investors, and vice versa.

Vetle Lunde, a crypto markets analyst at K33 Research, said in an interview on CoinDesk TV’s “First Mover” show on Monday that there are similarities between Bitcoin’s current climb from the doldrums of 2022 and its price trend from 2018 into 2019.

Lunde said that negative to neutral futures sales, notwithstanding recent price rises, were more indications of investor skepticism. While this view may alter, the market’s relatively low liquidity remains a possible drag on future prices.

In the four-hour chart, Bitcoin price has built up a bearish breaker. The asset is under intense selling pressure as it pulls back and retests the previous down candlestick between the higher highs. This retest might be an excellent entry opportunity for bears. Nonetheless, investors may opt to liquidate their assets early if the psychological threshold of $30,000 is reached.
