די אויף-קייט ינדיקאַטאָרס פֿאָרשלאָגן די דנאָ פון ביטקאָין איז נאָענט

Bitcoin and crypto markets are a full year into bear territory, and it has been about that time when the cycle bottom occurs.

During the previous bear market, it came in December 2018, a year after the Bitcoin price peak. This time around, BTC has fallen 75% from its peak a year ago, and bottom signals are mounting up.

On Dec. 6, Capriole Fund founder Charles Edwards took a deep dive into the on-chain data. He discovered that there were several signals suggesting it could be the best time to buy Bitcoin.

ביטקאָין דנאָ סיגנאַל סעריע.

א פאָדעם פון אויף-קייט סיגנאַלז וואָס פֿאָרשלאָגן די ביטקאָין דנאָ איז אין אָדער זייער נאָענט. אין מיין מיינונג, דאָס זענען די מערסט וויכטיק אויף-קייט מעטריקס הייַנט. באַזירט אויף ביטקאָין ס 13 יאָר געשיכטע, זיי זאָגן מיר אַז דאָס איז אַ ויסערגעוויינלעך געלעגנהייט. pic.twitter.com/5io6WD2ELo

Bitcoin at The Bottom

Bitcoin adoption is at an all-time high despite the FTX crypto contagion and מאַרק קראַך. It is currently the highest growth rate in addresses, with more than 0.1 BTC in history. The addresses holding BTC for more than a year also represent more of the network than ever before.

Furthermore, there have only been four other times in network history that Bitcoin production cost has been below its electrical cost. These instances also coincided with market bottoms.

Edwards observed that בטק פּרייַז is also trading at a 55% discount to Bitcoin Energy Value. The BEV is the asset’s fair value priced using pure watts of energy in the network. It is currently the largest discount since prices hit $4,000 in March 2020 and $160 on in January 2015.

Miner selling pressure is also at its third highest level. It only previously exceeded current levels when priced at $2 and $290. Hash ribbons have also באשטעטיקט this miner capitulation phase, as reported by קריפּטאָפּאָטאַטאָ.

The Dynamic Range NVT or the Bitcoin PE Ratio is also flashing green which means the network is priced cheap versus the transaction value flowing through on-chain.

Additionally, Dormancy Flow has also been at all-time lows for the past month or so. According to the indicator creator, whenever dormancy value overtakes market capitalization at the lowest longitudinal levels, the market can be considered in full capitulation.

Middle of Halving Cycle

Edwards said that it was not just the data that is screaming Bitcoin is cheap, concluding:

“We are also situated smack-bang in the bottom zone for every prior Bitcoin halving cycle. This is where sentiment has always bottomed and the best long-term investments were made.”
