A much-anticipated relief has arrived in the crypto markets as Bitcoin is up around 5% and is currently trading at $ 49,350. BTC’s abrupt surge at the start of the new week pulled global crypto market capitalization up 3.51% in a single day, making way for a much-needed rally.

Real recovery or trick?

After the December 4th slump, BTC rebounded 6% over the next few days. However, it was unable to maintain its upward momentum and fell even lower in just a day. The price also recovered in a similar way on December 12th, December 15th-16th. and last on 19.12. by almost 5%.

After every one day price hike in the past 2 weeks, BTC has failed to maintain the positive promotion. So it makes perfect sense to question the recent recovery.

What’s different this time?

First, recent upward momentum has brought BTC from a lower limit of $ 45,850 to over $ 49,000 in one day. In addition, short-term owners’ losses from the sale of assets are decreasing and setting higher lows. In parallel with the intensification of the price movement, there is a bullish divergence that shows almost no seller interest at these levels.

In addition, the NVT (NVTS) signal for Bitcoin, which does not normally signal “oversold”, gave that signal at press time, indicating a reversal from the lower range is imminent.

Previously, every time it was oversold, NVTS rallied from this zone and the price rose as well. The key question now is whether the current move is really a recovery?

A wave of upheaval is waiting …

Another key figure worth mentioning is the 14-day BTC Futures Open Interest (OI) change of more than 10%. In the past, OI changes of 15% or more have caused volatility in this coin.

Additionally, the open interest for Binance futures has increased over 30% in the past few days, along with a + 7.4% increase in BTC balances on the exchange.

While the funding rate remains neutral, the move could indicate impending volatility as Binance currently owns more than 25% of all open positions in the market.

Coupled with the increased volatility, activity is slowing as the volume of on-chain transfers has dropped from around $ 10-11 billion per day to $ 7.2 billion since December 4th.

Therefore, while the macro setup could be bearish in the short term, there are still signs of a bullish on-chain price for Bitcoin. Additionally, BTC could fluctuate in either direction towards the end of 2021 so it will be interesting to watch.
