Crypto analyst Sweep has revealed that 20 Bitcoin indicators have flashed bullish at the same time, providing a bullish outlook for the leading crypto. Based on this development, the analyst has predicted that BTC could rally to $150,000, marking a new all-time high (ATH).  20 Bitcoin Indicators Hint At Rally To $150,000 In an X post, Sweep stated that 20 independent indicators are bullish at the same time. He noted that this has only happened three times in Bitcoin’s history, and each time was followed by a 300% rally. The first of this indicator is the Global M2 money supply, which just hit an all-time high (ATH) while BTC is still lagging.  Related Reading: None Of The 30 Bitcoin Market Peak Indicators Have Been Hit, So Why Did The Price Crash? Sweep further revealed that the Dollar Index is at 100, the exact level that preceded 500% rallies twice before. Another bullish indicator is that BTC’s exchange reserves have fallen to a 7-year low, with only 2.1 million BTC remaining across all crypto exchanges. The drop in these exchange reserves has come as whales bought 270,000 BTC over 30 days, the largest accumulation wave since 2013.  Another bullish indicator is that the Fear and Greed index has been stuck at extreme fear for 46 straight days, currently at 12. Bitcoin’s weekly RSI has printed 27.48, the third time in history that it has been this low. Furthermore, funding rates have been negative for weeks, with traders paying fees to short BTC.  Meanwhile, Sweep also mentioned that the stablecoin supply has hit an all-time high of $320 billion, with supply sitting on the sidelines. Miners have been in capitulation for 4 months straight, the longest stretch this cycle. At the same time, the hash rate is recovering from a 22% decline.  The Macro Angle For BTC Sweep mentioned bullish macro indicators, such as the Fed ending quantitative tightening, draining the reverse repo from $2.5 trillion to nearly zero, and resuming purchases of Treasury bills. Furthermore, Consumer confidence is in the second-lowest zone ever recorded in 70 years of data, while the ISM manufacturing is back in expansion for the first time in 40 months.  Related Reading: The Last Time Bitcoin Sentiment Was This Bad Was 2022, But There Was A Silver Lining Another bullish indicator is that the Bitcoin ETF flows have turned positive in March, with $2.5 billion in inflows. SoSoValue data shows that the BTC ETFs are on course to end a streak of four consecutive months of outflows. Sweep mentioned that BTC has just printed 5 consecutive red monthly candles, which has happened only once and led to a 308% rally afterwards. Lastly, 92% of short-term holders are underwater.  The analyst noted that the last time this many signals aligned was in November 2022, when Bitcoin was trading at $16,000. Since then, BTC has pumped to a new ATH of $126,000.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $67,500, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin has shed about $3,500 in value over recent days, slipping from above $70,000 earlier in March to around $66,500, as short-term holders take their exits. On one particularly turbulent day, about 22,000 BTC were moved to exchanges in a single session. Yet, the Bitcoin price is still holding above support and hasn’t broken below the $60,000 range.  A different dynamic is quietly taking shape, one that raises a more important question than the selloff itself: who is actually absorbing all the Bitcoin being sold?  ETF Demand Is Quietly Absorbing Market Supply Short-term holders, those who acquired Bitcoin relatively recently and are most sensitive to price drawdowns, have been routing coins to exchanges at an elevated pace. However, on-chain data from CryptoQuant data reveals a counterforce of equal or greater magnitude. Related Reading: What Every XRP Holder Must Understand As Activity Wanes The latest data points to a steady flow of Bitcoin moving into institutional hands, particularly through spot ETFs. Over the past 30 days, roughly 63,000 BTC has been accumulated by institutions. This figure stands in contrast to the daily selling pressure coming from short-term holders. As shown in the ETF flows chart below, which was first posted on the social media platform X by a crypto analyst with the name Crypto Tice, green bars representing ETF inflows consistently offset red periods of outflows, even during days where price action isn’t holding up as expected. This has given rise to a pattern of large buyers stepping in to buy BTC during dips and after they’ve slowed down, effectively soaking up available liquidity. Bitcoin ETF Tracker. Source: @CryptoTice_ On X Are Sellers Running Out Of Bitcoin To Sell? March had its ups and downs in terms of price action, with Bitcoin briefly reclaiming levels above $76,000 before falling back under pressure as selling increased toward the end of the month.  As it stands, the Bitcoin price is most likely going to close March below $70,000, and it is even at risk of closing the month red, which would bring it to six consecutive months of bearish closes. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $67,339, which places it just 0.57% above its March open of $66,970. Related Reading: The Bitcoin Price Bottom Is Close, But There Is Still A Crash Below $60,000 Left On the other hand, US-based Spot Bitcoin ETFs are currently sitting on $1.2 billion in net inflows for March 2026, bringing an end to four consecutive months of net outflows. This turnaround shows that institutional appetite is starting to return after a prolonged period of reduced exposure, with capital gradually flowing back into Bitcoin. Although these inflows have not been strong enough to fully counterbalance the short-term selling pressure on the Bitcoin price, they do point to a willingness among larger players to accumulate at the current price range. Short-term holders, by definition, have a finite supply of coins acquired at recent prices. If the current absorption rate continues, then the supply available to sellers will continue declining while demand is still strong.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
