Bitcoin has experienced notable whale activity since the conclusion of the US election on November 5, with an increase in the volume of Bitcoin transferred to exchanges by active whale addresses. However, contrary to what one might expect, there hasn’t been a significant surge in profit-taking activity among these large holders, a CryptoQuant analyst named onatt revealed in a recent post on the QuickTake platform. Related Reading: Bitcoin to Enter Final Bull Phase? Key Indicator Hints at Major Price Movement Whale Activity Suggests Market Stability but Signals Potential Risks The report by CryptoQuant analyst Onatt sheds light on this whale activity, emphasizing the lack of immediate selling pressure despite the increase in Bitcoin inflows to exchanges. Instead of liquidating their holdings, whales appear to be employing a “wait-and-see strategy,” the analyst wrote. They seem to utilize their Bitcoin for purposes like hedging, over-the-counter (OTC) transactions, or collateral. Although this approach points to market stability, onatt advised that “these movements should be closely monitored to anticipate any possible market impact.” Providing more details of this development, Onatt’s analysis reveals that the Adjusted Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) metric, which tracks profit-taking activities, does not yet signal significant movements. Historically, large inflows of Bitcoin into exchanges have often been associated with increased selling pressure, but the current scenario deviates from this trend. Instead, these movements may reflect strategic maneuvers by whales as they prepare for potential market shifts. Onatt also noted that while the immediate risk of sell-offs appears low, the ongoing rise in Bitcoin exchange inflows could foreshadow future volatility. Bitcoin Market Performance Bitcoin so far appears to have hit a wall ever since it traded above $95,000. Over the past weeks, Bitcoin has been unable to move further from this price level but has managed to maintain it despite the bears attempts to push it below $95,000. Over the past week, BTC hasn’t moved much and only registers 2.5% increase and in the past 24 hours, the asset has seen just a slight decrease by 1.2% to trade for $95,837 at the time of writing currently. As for Bitcoin’s daily trading volume, interestingly, there has been an opposite trend. Despite Bitcoin’s small price movement into decline, BTC daily trading volume has notably increased from below $60 billion on November 29 to now at $94.5 billion.

Bitcoin (BTC) has seen a violent drop in South Korean exchanges amid the growing political crisis in the country. Following a recent announcement by the country’s President, the flagship crypto and other crypto assets saw a brief sell-off that plunged their prices by over 30%. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Could See A Correction Despite Historic Monthly Close, $400 Still On Sight? South Korea Declares First Martial Law In 44 Years On Tuesday night, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an “emergency martial law” for the first time in 44 years, causing panic among Koreans and kickstarting a massive sell-off of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The Korean JoongAng Daily explains that a declaration of martial law replaces civilian government with military rule and suspends civilian legal processes for military powers. Additionally, it allows measures like “restricting freedom of speech, publication, assembly and association, special changes to the authority of governments or courts, and a warrant system by the provisions of related laws.” Nonetheless, if the parliament requests the lifting of martial law, with the consent of a majority of its members, the president must do so. In a televised briefing, Yoon stated that the measure was taken to “eradicate pro-North Korean forces and protect the constitutional democratic order.” The President accused the country’s opposition of sympathizing with North Korea and anti-state activities.  It’s worth noting that the opposition Democratic Party has a majority in the South Korean parliament, which has seemingly complicated Yoon’s efforts to push his agenda. In his statement, the Korean President didn’t announce specific measures but cited the opposition’s motion to impeach top prosecutors and reject the government’s budget proposal. Through this martial law, I will rebuild and protect the free Republic of Korea, which is falling into the depths of national ruin. I will eliminate anti-state forces as quickly as possible and normalize the country. Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-Myung announced they would attempt to nullify Yoon’s order but expressed concern that the military forces would act against the parliament members. Bitcoin And XRP See Negative Kimchi Premium Following the news, the price of Bitcoin saw a sharp correction against its South Korean Won (KRW) pair in local exchanges, dropping 27% on Upbit, Korea’s largest crypto platform. The flagship cryptocurrency fell from the 132 million KRW mark, worth around $92,000, to as low as 88.26 million KRW, around $62,000. However, it has since recovered from the nosedive, trading again above the pre-crash levels. At the same time, Bitcoin recorded a price drop on global exchanges, falling momentarily below the $94,000 support before jumping back to the $95,000-$96,000 range on platforms like Binance, ByBit, and OKX. Similarly, XRP saw its price retrace 60% from the 4,000 KRW mark to as low as 1,623 KRW, worth around $1.23. The cryptocurrency has recovered from the fall in the last hour, trading at 3,600 KRW, valued at $2.52. Related Reading: Cardano Next In Line After XRP? ADA Price Targets $4.88 In Epic Breakout According to Wu Blockchain, the reason behind the negative “Kimchi Premium” is that Korean exchanges do not allow institutional market makers. This, alongside the excessive traffic, “caused prices to be unable to synchronize in a short period of time.” Ultimately, the latest reports revealed that the Parliament passed the vote to nullify the martial law, ending it after three hours. As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at 133.2 million KWR in Upbit. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Solana (SOL) has been one of the leading cryptocurrencies throughout this bull run, seeing a 66.8% jump in the last three months to its latest all-time high (ATH) and flipping other rivals. Despite its remarkable rally, SOL has recently lost the spotlight to Altcoins like XRP, risking a major correction in the coming days. Related Reading: Cardano Could Be Heading For A 20% Correction – Technical Data Signals Bearish Price Structure Solana To Retest $200? Solana has outperformed most of the market during this cycle, leaping over 231% in the last year. The ecosystem has been the talk of the town, with Solana-based memecoins leading the market’s narrative and SOL’s DeFi activity outpacing Ethereum’s. Less than a month ago, the cryptocurrency’s bullish rally saw the altcoin surpass Binance Coin (BNB) as the fourth-largest token by market capitalization. SOL saw its price rise near the $200 zone, propelling its market capitalization to $88 billion on November 6. Since then, its market cap has surged nearly 20% to $105 billion, but SOL’s momentum has begun to slow down as other cryptocurrencies pick up steam. On Sunday, XRP flipped Solana and Tether (USDT) to become the third-largest crypto by market cap, sending SOL to the fifth position. XRP’s milestone made some investors and market watchers worry about SOL’s future performance since the cryptocurrency has experienced a 14% retrace from its latest ATH of $263 nine, recorded nine days ago. Crypto analyst Income Sharks noted that Solana displays a bearish structure on its lower timeframe chart. According to the post, the altcoin has been forming a Head and Shoulders (H&S) pattern in the past month after a three-week diagonal trendline break, suggesting a trend reversal for Solana. On Sunday night, SOL dropped below the $230 mark, hitting its lowest price since November 15 and breaking below the pattern’s neckline. This could potentially send Solana to retrace around 10% and test its previous support zone between the $200-$210 range. Similarly, crypto analyst CRG noted that a retest of these levels would be possible before bouncing to new highs. SOL Sees Historic November Close Despite the recent retrace, several crypto watchers consider SOL’s rally is far from over, highlighting the token’s strength throughout the cycle and its achievements. Crypto Jelle pointed out that Solana still targets the $400-$600 in its price discovery mode after it broke out of an 8-month bullish pennant in November and “locked in a monthly breakout too.” Likewise, Rekt Capital noted that the cryptocurrency recorded a historic close this November, as it saw its “Highest candle-bodied Monthly Close of all-time.” Other analysts also concurred, hinting that investors should remain optimistic about the $400 target as momentum remains strong.

SOL records a 5.3% and 7.2% decline in the daily and weekly timeframes but shows a 36.3% surge in the last month. As of this writing, Solana is trading at $224, with a 97% increase in its daily trading volume. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, appears to be on the brink of a potential sharp rise. According to a CryptoQuant analyst, Crypto Dan, the market could experience a significant upward trend within the next two months. This insight, shared on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform, is based on a critical market indicator that has historically signaled major price rallies. Related Reading: Data Shows Selling Pressure Mounts On Bitcoin: Is The Bull Run at Risk? Bitcoin Market Outlook: Sharp Rise Incoming In the post titled “Strong Rise in Bitcoin is Expected Within 1-2 Months”, Crypto Dan highlights the emergence of a “golden cross” in the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) indicator. This occurrence, he notes, is a rare event that typically happens only once or twice during an entire bull market cycle. As part of the current bullish cycle that began in January 2023, its reappearance is being seen as a strong precursor to a substantial market move. For further context, the SOPR Ratio indicator measures realized profits and losses in the Bitcoin market, offering insight into investor sentiment. The “golden cross” identified by Crypto Dan signifies a pivotal moment in the bull cycle. Historically, this signal has been followed by strong price increases within two months of its appearance. Crypto Dan explained that the market is likely entering the final phase of the current upward cycle, a stage characterized by steeper price gains and shorter periods of consolidation. This means that while Bitcoin’s ascent might accelerate, the opportunities for investors to accumulate at lower prices could diminish rapidly. Furthermore, he projected that if the anticipated rise materializes by the end of 2024 or the first quarter of 2025, it could draw significant new capital into the market. The inflow of additional funds is expected to fuel Bitcoin’s momentum, potentially driving the market to its peak during this cycle. Dan wrote: As the market moves towards the later stages of the cycle, the magnitude of the rise tends to be larger, and the periods of decline/adjustment are shorter. If a steep rise occurs as implied by this indicator within the end of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025, it can be expected that new inflows and additional funds will enter the market, bringing it to its peak. BTC Market Performance Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues to maintain stability above the $95,000 price mark. At the time of writing, the asset currently trades for $96,296, down by 1% in the past day but still up by nearly 40% in the past month. According to a renowned crypto analyst known as Ali on X, while some in the community expect a major retracement in Bitcoin’s price, BTC could do the opposite. The analyst projected BTC could surge to as high as $120,000-$150,000 before the first 30% price correction. Given the fact that #Bitcoin tends to do the opposite of what the crowd believes, there is potential for $BTC to go higher. If the current cycle behaves like the last two, #BTC could go to $120,000-$150,000 before the first 30% price correction. https://t.co/xTHJMITqJa — Ali (@ali_charts) December 2, 2024 Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView

Historically, markets outperform after presidential elections and then stall once the President-elect takes office, data shows.

#cardano #worldcoin #ada #crypto market #us elections #wld #cryptocurrency market news #crypto analyst #crypto trader #wldusdt #crypto bull run 2024

Worldcoin (WLD) has seen a nearly 40% surge in the last week, briefly testing the $3 mark. The cryptocurrency hit a 4-month high after nearing the upper zone of a multi-month range. Its recent performance has fueled investors’ optimism about a possible breakout, which could send the token to new highs. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could Drop Below $90,000 If It Doesn’t Break This Level, Rally On Pause? Worldcoin Hits 4-Month High Worldcoin has seen a considerable decline since hitting its all-time high (ATH) of $11.74, retracing around 75% from its March high. During the Q3 retraces, the cryptocurrency lost the $3 support, diving below the $2 mark after August’s “Black Monday.” Since then, WLD has hovered between the $1.3-$3.2 price range, consolidating below the $2.5 for the past couple of months. Following the November Post-election rally, Worldcoin has surged around 75% in three weeks, reclaiming the $2 zone. Earlier this week, the cryptocurrency’s momentum propelled WLD above the $2.5 resistance level for the first time in three months, turning it into support the following days. Moreover, the token surged 23% intraday, hitting its four-month high on November 28 after momentarily trading above the $3 mark. Crypto analyst Yuriy suggested that a “big move” is coming for the cryptocurrency. The analyst noted that WLD’s open interest (OI) has significantly surged this month, rising 135% since election day. According to Coinglass data, Worldcoin’s OI jumped from $184 million to $433 million in three weeks, recording its second-highest day on Wednesday. Additionally, it has seen a 9.65% in the last 24 hours and a 12% jump in the past hour, signaling heightened confidence and participation in the cryptocurrency. To Yuriy, the cryptocurrency could follow the steps of Cardano (ADA), which recently saw its price hit a 2-year high. Following its OI increase, the token recovered from its 75% decline and broke out of its multi-month consolidation range, reclaiming the long-awaited $1 mark. WLD’s Breakout To Target $3.5 The analyst explained that, after the recent WLD price action, the $2.8 mark is a crucial support level to confirm, as it served as a significant resistance level earlier this month. As a result, consolidating above this level could propel the token’s price to the next target. The token is nearing a breakout from the 4-month range, which could target the $3.5 price range in the short term. Analyst AMBcrypto pointed out that the $3.5 mark is the next major resistance for Worldcoin, indicating that a breakout from this level “will push it towards the previous high” of $11.

Bitcoin (BTC) has been consolidating above the $90,000 support zone for the last ten days, reaching its latest all-time high (ATH) of $99,645 about a week ago. Since then, the cryptocurrency has closed below a short-term downtrend line, failing to break above it and potentially risking a drop to two-week lows. Related Reading: Altcoins ‘Starting To Run’ After Reclaiming This Key Level, Altseason Around The Corner? Bitcoin Faces ‘Moment Of Truth’ Bitcoin is having one of the best months in the cryptocurrency’s recent history, jumping over 47% from its monthly opening to its latest ATH. Since November 18, BTC has been moving within the $90,000-$99,000 price range, holding above the lowest range zone despite the recent retraces. After surpassing the $99,000 level twice, the ongoing rally has fueled investors’ optimism about achieving the potential run to the $100,000 milestone this month. However, the flagship crypto has been facing rejection from a Lower High resistance line for the last week. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital pointed out that Bitcoin has been closing daily below a one-week Lower High trendline. To the analyst, this resistance marks a “moment of truth” as a daily close above it could send BTC toward the $100,000 mark. However, continuing to close below it risks a “likely reject at the trendline resistance once again.” Despite hitting the $97,000 mark yesterday, BTC closed Wednesday around $95,300 for the seventh day. Bitcoin must close Thursday above the $97,000 level to break out from the trendline. The analyst noted that this trendline could be “a point of rejection again for Bitcoin For as long as it is a resistance,” adding that investors “could see lower range levels again.” November To Close With A Near 40% Rally Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that one key demand zone for Bitcoin is the $93,580 mark, as 667,000 addresses bought nearly 504,000 BTC at this price. Martinez warned that staying above this level “is a must” to prevent these holders from selling off. Moreover, the analyst’s chart highlighted that the biggest resistance level ahead is the $96,614 mark, where 155,000 addressed purchased 297,000 BTC. Martinez also suggested BTC could bounce to the range highs, fueled by Thanksgiving Day. It’s worth noting that, throughout the years, Bitcoin has recorded violent price swings around this holiday, like 2020’s “Thanksgiving Day Massacre,” which saw BTC record a 17% price drop within hours. The analyst shared that Bitcoin has been moving within a one-day bullish falling wedge, retesting the lower range as support and bouncing in the morning. To him, a successful breakout from this formation could trigger a rebound to $99,000. Related Reading: Latest Memecoin Sensation CHILLGUY Hits $0.65 ATH, What’s Behind The 80% Rally? BTC currently records a 36.6% monthly return, according to data from Coinglass, with the potential to see further gains in November’s last two days. Nonetheless, November will seemingly close as this year’s second-best month, setting the stage for a massive rally in December. As of this writing, BTC is trading at $95,135, a 1% drop in the last 24 hours. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Ethereum is finally seeing a notable rebound in its price as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, which continues to break through significant resistance levels. Following its upward trajectory, seeing a nearly 10% increase in the past week, discussions about Ethereum potentially reaching a new all-time high by the year’s end have gained momentum. Notably, aligning with the ongoing ETH rally is renewed interest in Ethereum futures, with market metrics pointing to a bullish sentiment among traders. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Powers Ahead with a 10% Surge: More to Come? More Room For Growth? A CryptoQuant analyst known as ShayanBTC recently shared insights into the ongoing rally in Ethereum, emphasizing the role of funding rates—a crucial metric in futures trading. Funding rates reflect the sentiment of traders and indicate whether the market is predominantly bullish or bearish. According to Shayan, Ethereum’s funding rates have seen a noticeable uptick in recent weeks, suggesting that demand for long positions is growing. Despite this bullish sentiment, the analyst mentioned that funding rates remain below the peak of Ethereum’s previous all-time high of $4,900, signaling that “it has not yet entered an overheated state.” Meanwhile, while indicative of bullish sentiment, funding rates also act as a warning sign for potential market corrections. Historically, sharp increases in funding rates have been followed by sudden market corrections or liquidation cascades. However, Shayan notes that Ethereum’s current funding rates are still manageable, implying that the market has more room to grow before such risks become critical. Ethereum Market Performance And Outlook Ethereum is currently experiencing an upward trajectory, posting notable double-digit gains of roughly 15.6% over the past two weeks. This bullish performance has propelled ETH to break through the critical $3,500 resistance level, setting its sights on the next major resistance at the $4,000 mark. Currently, Ethereum is trading at $3,563, reflecting a 1.3% increase in the last 24 hours. However, this price represents a slight pullback from its 24-hour high of $3,682 recorded earlier today. Additionally, Ethereum’s current price is just 26.78% below its all-time high of $4,878, highlighting its gradual recovery within the market. Related Reading: ETH/BTC’s 8-Year Cycle Chart Shows How High Ethereum Price Can Go This Cycle Regardless of the bullish sentiment, Coinglass data shows that in the past 24 hours alone, 98,389 traders have been liquidated, with the total liquidations coming in at $278.03 million. Out of this total amount of liquidations, Ethereum accounts for roughly $63.33 million, with $40 million of this liquidation coming from short positions and $23.3 million from long positions. Amid the current price performance from Ethereum, the renowned crypto analyst known as Ali on X has reiterated his target for ETH. Ali said the mid-term target remains $6,000 and long-term target $10,000.

After briefly retreating to $90,000 earlier in the week, Bitcoin has rebounded strongly, climbing above the $95,000 price. Currently trading at $95,224, Bitcoin has recorded a 7% gain over the past two weeks, signaling renewed bullish momentum. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Price Dip Triggers Alert On NVT Golden Cross—Here’s What To Watch For Key Indicators Highlight Best Buying Opportunities As Bitcoin continues its rally, CryptoQuant, a prominent on-chain analytics platform, has shared insights into key metrics that could help potential investors determine optimal entry points. Drawing on historical data and market behaviour, CryptoQuant highlights the patterns of price corrections, short-term holder strategies, speculative bets, and trading volume indicators to guide investors in navigating Bitcoin’s ongoing bull run. According to CryptoQuant, historical bull markets have shown that price drawdowns are inevitable, even during periods of sustained growth. For instance, the 2017 bull market experienced corrections of up to 22%, while the 2021 rally saw 10% and 30% declines. The 2024 bull run has already seen 15% and 20% price pullbacks, suggesting that periodic corrections may offer strategic buying opportunities. The platform also emphasizes the significance of the Short-Term Holder Realized Price metric, which reflects the average cost basis of recent investors. This metric often serves as a critical support level during bull markets, as short-term holders are more likely to buy at their break-even price, reinforcing price stability. Buy at the Average Cost Basis of Short-Term Holders The Short-Term Holder Realized Price can be seen as the buy-the-dip level during bull markets. Investors tend to buy at their break-even price, making this indicator a visualization of price support. pic.twitter.com/mTDpuhaK8Y — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) November 27, 2024 Additionally, CryptoQuant points to the “Flush of Open Interest,” a phenomenon where speculative positions are cleared out during periods of heightened price action. This process can create favorable entry points for investors looking to capitalize on temporary market resets. Lastly, the Net Taker Volume indicator, which measures the balance between buying and selling pressure, suggests that peak selling activity can signal opportunities for future price growth. A reading below -$30,000,000 according to CryptoQuant, as seen recently, may indicate that sellers are nearing exhaustion, paving the way for potential upside. Key Support Levels For Bitcoin While Bitcoin’s current momentum hints at another potential rally, analysts caution the importance of maintaining critical support levels. Crypto analyst Ali recently identified the $93,580 price zone as a key demand level, where approximately 667,000 addresses collectively acquired nearly 504,000 BTC. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sell-Side Pressure Dominated By New Holders, Research Shows According to the analyst, remaining above this level is crucial to avoid a potential sell-off from holders at this price point.

A new Solana-based memecoin has stolen the crypto market’s spotlight after surging over 80% in seven days to a market capitalization above the $600 million mark. After its remarkable performance, the latest internet sensation continues to grow in popularity, recently scoring two major exchange listings. Related Reading: Polygon: Analyst Sets ‘Wild’ Price Target Amid POL’s 38.2% Weekly Surge Just A Chill Rise To $0.65 This cycle’s memecoin mania has seen the rise and fall of many tokens in the last few months, including the Celebrity token frenzy and the recent Pump.fun Livestream saga, sparking a discussion on whether they benefit the market. Despite the criticism, new tokens continue to rise, with some leaping into massive highs in a matter of days. The latest memecoin sensation, just a chill guy (CHILLGUY), has ignited a craze that sent the token to a massive 80% weekly rally. The cryptocurrency is based on a viral TikTok meme of a smirking dog in a laid-back pose dressed in casual clothing. The original drawing was created by Philip Banks in 2023 and has been slowly gaining popularity on social media platforms. The meme also became viral on X and Instagram, with several reimaginations of the ‘Chill Guy’ flooding people’s timelines. Amid the meme’s popularity boost, crypto investors created a token inspired by the internet sensation. On November 20, the meme’s momentum fueled the token’s 400% rally to $0.44 in 24 hours. However, its price momentarily dropped over 30% after Banks announced he would take legal action against the token for copyright infringement. Since then, the memecoin has surged around 50% to its all-time high (ATH), recording two new highs during the last day. The token hit the $0.56 mark on Tuesday afternoon before surging another 20% to its latest ATH of $0.65 on Wednesday morning. The cryptocurrency hit a market capitalization of $657 million before retracing below $600 million, sitting as the eighth-largest Solana-based memecoin. Memecoin Sensation Scores Major Listings The token’s frenzy has been fueled by the meme’s current popularity and its endorsement by public figures. A week ago, El Salvador’s pro-Bitcoin President, Nayib Bukele, shared the just a chill guy meme as BTC traded above $94,000 for the first time in history. Moreover, Popular YouTuber Mr. Beast called the internet sensation the “biggest meme of our lifetime” after streamer Ninja shared his version of the meme on Tuesday. Adding to the momentum, major crypto exchanges have announced their listing of the latest memecoin sensation. On November 26, Bybit listed CHILLGUY on their Spot trading platform, while Binance announced it would add perpetual contracts with up to 75x leverage to Binance Futures on November 27. Amid the CHILLGUY frenzy, an investor made over $6 million from the token. As on-chain data analytics firm Lookonchain reported, a crypto trader spent 0.75 SOL, worth $160, to buy 12.5 million CHILLGUY tokens. Related Reading: Altcoins ‘Starting To Run’ After Reclaiming This Key Level, Altseason Around The Corner? Twelve days later, the trader now holds 9.2 million tokens, making a total profit of $6.1 million at the time of Lookonchain’s report. Some community members noted that if the cryptocurrency continues its rapid growth, it could flip other memecoin sensations like dogwifhat (WIF) and Popcat (POPCAT) within a week. However, it remains to be seen whether the token can sustain its current momentum or become a one-hit crypto wonder.

Before its recent price correction, Bitcoin came close to hitting the six-digit milestone, achieving an all-time high of $99,645—a near 170% year-to-date increase. This notable price performance, followed by the recent price dip, has sparked discussions about the state of the market, particularly the profit-taking behaviour observed among investors. An analysis by a CryptoQuant analyst known as Darkfost sheds light on these dynamics, focusing on realized profits and investor behaviour linked to Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges globally. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Price Dip Triggers Alert On NVT Golden Cross—Here’s What To Watch For Are Investors Actively Taking Profits Now? According to Darkfost, tracking the profits realized by investors transferring Bitcoin to Binance can provide “valuable insights into the broader market sentiment and behaviour, especially considering Binance consistently handles higher volumes than any other exchange.” He notes that following Bitcoin’s breakthrough to a new high, there has been a noticeable increase in realized profits among the Binance cohort. This trend reflects a significant level of investor engagement, where users are capitalizing on the price surge to secure gains. However, Darkfost emphasizes that the scale and pace of profit-taking—whether aggressive or steady—could help determine the trajectory the market is headed to next. The analyst highlights that profit-taking activity on Binance has recently subsided after an initial surge. This pause in selling behaviour may suggest growing confidence among investors in Bitcoin’s potential for further gains. However, Darkfost stresses the importance of monitoring these metrics, particularly the realized profits exceeding $10 million. Significant profit-taking could indicate a cooling-off period or even a reversal in an upward trend, while a steady approach may reinforce the strength of the ongoing rally. Bitcoin Sees Rebound After recording a notable correction following its latest achieved all-time high, Bitcoin is finally now seeing a noticeable rebound in its price. Over the past few days, since the week started, Bitcoin has experienced consistent dip which dropped its price to as low as $90,000 levels yesterday for the first time in recent weeks. Related Reading: The Current Correction In Bitcoin Is The Last Before A Major Rally—Here’s Why However, so far, the asset is now gradually regaining its recently shedded gains. At the time of writing, Bitcoin has surged by 2.3% in the past 24 hours with a current trading price of $94,656 which bring BTC’s price to a mere 5.1% decrease away from its all-time high. Along with its price, BTC’s market cap valuation has also seen a surge. Over the past day alone nearly $80 billion has been added to the crypto’s market cap which rose from $1.8 trillion on November 26 to $74 trillion as of today.

Bitcoin price correction from its recent all-time high has sparked speculation within the crypto community, with many questioning if the bull run remains intact and what the next price move might be. Currently, BTC trades at a price below the $95,000 mark, down by nearly 7% from its all-time high above $99,000 recorded on November 22. Related Reading: Bitcoin Leverage Remains High – Data Reveals Selling Pressure Above $93K BTC NVT Golden Cross Outlook Amid the ongoing pullback in its price, a CryptoQuant analyst known as Darkfost shared insights on the market’s current state, focusing on a key on-chain metric: the NVT Golden Cross. This metric, which evaluates the relationship between market capitalization and transaction volume, recently turned positive. However, Darkfost cautioned against interpreting this shift as inherently bullish. He noted that while the current NVT Golden Cross value is low and doesn’t pose significant risks, traders should keep an eye on it to avoid potential market pitfalls. Notably, the NVT Golden Cross, quantifying whether Bitcoin’s market cap is outpacing its transaction volume, could be a leading indicator for market trends. According to Darkfost, if the metric climbs to 2.2, it could suggest that Bitcoin’s valuation exceeds its transactional utility. In such cases, Darkfost noted that the market might witness a “reversion to the mean,” signalling potential opportunities for short positions. The CryptoQuant analyst added: This scenario could lead to the beginning of a ranging pattern, which might create a favorable environment for altcoins to perform. Bitcoin Performance Outlook As Bitcoin trades at $93,196 at the time of writing, down by 3.3% in the past day, analysts have turned to their respective sources to assess what is happening with Bitcoin. The crypto market has experienced significant volatility, with roughly 191,493 traders liquidated in the past 24 hours, accounting for $571.80 million in total liquidations, according to CoinGlass data. IntoTheBlock, a renowned market intelligence platform, has recently suggested a major fundamental reason Bitcoin is facing a correction. In a post uploaded on X earlier today, the platform reveals that “elevated funding rates” which signal “excessively leveraged positions” contribute to the ongoing decline in BTC’s price. IntoTheBlock pointed out that the good news is that “funding rates have largely normalized,” indicating that the “leverage flush may have run its course.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Realized Profit Hits ATH At $443 Million – Local Top Or Continuation?

Bitcoin price momentum has grabbed significant attention as it gradually sheds some of its gains acquired in the past weeks. So far, Bitcoin has plunged 7.6% from its all-time high (ATH) of $99,645 seen last week. Particularly, at the time of writing, the asset trades for $92,476. Marking roughly 4.6% drop in the past day alone. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rally Pauses Before $100K—Here’s What Could Happen Next What To Expect From This Current Bitcoin Decline Amid the ongoing correction in Bitcoin’s price, a recent analysis from CryptoQuant’s BaroVirtual has highlighted the steady decline in Bitcoin reserves across major crypto exchanges. According to the analyst, this pattern indicates a market amid a “bull run.” The analyst drew parallels with the March to November 2020 period, noting that exchange reserves saw a similar decline back then, followed by substantial inflows in December 2020 that fuelled upward buying pressure. The conclusion? The current dip in exchange reserves suggests that participants who missed earlier accumulation opportunities may now be entering the market before the next price surge. BaroVirtual noted: Some market participants who have not properly accumulated Bitcoin earlier are likely doing so now, realizing that this is likely the last downward correction before another upward price surge. Retail Traders Yet to Join The Market Meanwhile, although institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals seem to dominate the current market, retail traders appear to be lagging. Another CryptoQuant analyst known as Woominkyu has shed light on this trend, noting that the Korea Premium Index—a key metric for retail involvement—remains below -0.5. This figure highlights limited activity from retail participants in the ongoing rally. According to Woominkyu, the Korea Premium Index has historically shown spikes to extreme levels preceding Bitcoin’s price peaks. He emphasized that monitoring this index could provide vital insights into identifying potential market tops. It is worth noting that the absence of retail traders in the recent crypto rally is quite noteworthy, as their eventual participation could lead to heightened buying pressure and potentially drive Bitcoin’s price higher. At the time of writing, the crypto market is facing a bloodbath, with the global crypto market cap valuation sipping by nearly 6% in the past day to a current valuation of $3.34 trillion. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Crash Not Over?

Polygon (POL) hit its four-month high today following its 11% daily surge. The cryptocurrency surpassed the $0.60 mark before retracing, sparking a bullish sentiment among investors and market watchers. As a result, a renowned crypto analyst predicted a massive 2,500% rally for POL in the coming months. Related Reading: Toncoin (TON) Rebounds Above $6: Is A Sustainable Rally In Sight? Polygon On-Chain Metrics Turn Bullish Polygon has seen a remarkable performance over the past three weeks, rising around 107% since the November 5 market pump. POL, previously MATIC, has seen its price move from below the $0.30 mark to a four-month high of $0.61. This performance has been fueled by several factors, which have propelled the token’s price by nearly 40% in the last seven days and could stage “one of the most hated rallies,” as Ali Martinez shared on X. The analyst explained that Polygon has been experiencing an “important spike in on-chain metrics” over the last week, which could drive POL’s price to a “wild” price action in the future. Martinez noted that a lot of investors hold Polygon from the previous cycle, where the project’s token hit its all-time high (ATH) of $2.92. However, most of them record losses since only 15.11% of Polygon holders are in the green. Per the post, this is a positive sign for POL’s price action, as most of its investors won’t sell for profit at the current price ranges. The analyst added that on-chain data suggests a new wave of investors are positioning themselves for the rally’s second leg. This was signaled by the recent increase in daily active addresses, transaction volume, and whale activity. POL’s daily trading volume has recorded a 190% increase in the last week, jumping from the $250 million mark to $736 million. Additionally, whales bought over 140 million POL, now worth around nearly $80 million, in the last week and a half, with large-scale purchases significantly increasing since November 5. POL To Hit $15 This Cycle? Martinez suggested that with the whales’ buying spree and the reduced selling pressure, the POL “technicals look very good.” To him, the cryptocurrency is nearing a breakout from a multi-year descending triangle. The analyst explained that Polygon has been consolidating in a descending triangle formation since hitting its ATH almost three years ago. Nearly a week ago, the token “bounced off the triangle’s x-axis,” and had its Moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) “on the verge of a bullish crossover.” This suggested that while sentiment remains overall bearish, “bullish signals are piling up,” indicating a potential rally toward a new ATH. Related Reading: Ethereum Analyst Predicts $3,700 Once ETH Breaks Through Resistance Based on this, Martinez predicted that POL’s breakout could potentially lead to a 2,500% rally in the coming months. A weekly close above $0.7973 could spark a rally to $15.27, he detailed, adding that it could also ignite a 6,200% jump to $36.17. The analyst added that the most important support wall for POL was between the $0.375 and $0.386 price range, broken over a week ago, with little resistance in the higher levels. As of this writing, POL is trading at $0.58, a 75% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin recently came close to breaking the $100,000 price mark last week, reaching a high of $99,645 before encountering resistance. According to CryptoQuant analyst Percival, the psychological barrier of round numbers like $100,000 often serves as a point where traders exit positions for “relative safety.” Since climbing from $73,000 to $99,800, Percival highlighted that Bitcoin has recorded a roughly 57% gain, ranking it among the ‘top six exit rallies from consolidation zones.’ Despite this, the CryptoQuant analyst suggests that Bitcoin may enter a consolidation phase. Related Reading: Bitcoin Realized Profit Hits ATH At $443 Million – Local Top Or Continuation? BTC Faces Resistance Below $100K: What Lies Ahead? Percival emphasized the significance of the Choppiness Index, a metric that gauges market momentum. According to him, the index indicates that Bitcoin’s rally is losing strength weekly. This suggests the cryptocurrency could consolidate for several weeks before another rally begins. Analyzing previous market cycles, particularly in 2020, Percival noted that Bitcoin’s first post-consolidation correction lasted approximately three weeks, with an 18% price drop. If history repeats, the next rally may occur in the latter half of December. The analyst also pointed to Long-Term Holder (LTH) behavior as a critical factor in understanding Bitcoin’s current market dynamics. LTHs are currently seeing 350% in profit and are in a supply distribution phase, with approximately 575,000 Bitcoins (worth around $58 billion) re-entering the market. Despite this, demand has remained strong, driven by inflows into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and purchases from institutional players like MicroStrategy. Using the STH Realized Profit and Loss metric, Percival further explored Short-Term Holder (STH) activity. He noted that short-term holders account for 30.2% of the profits recorded during this phase. Additionally, Bitcoin’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio has exceeded 1.33σ, signaling that the average token is approaching the 1.4σ zone, corresponding to 40% unrealized profits. Historically, this zone aligns with the first correction following a significant rally, as observed in late 2020. What to Expect Next for Bitcoin Looking ahead, Bitcoin’s trajectory may depend on several factors, including the pace of its consolidation phase and the behavior of institutional and retail investors. If the current consolidation period mirrors the patterns of previous cycles, Bitcoin could stabilize before attempting another push beyond $100,000. However, short-term corrections may still occur with LTHs continuing to take profits and STHs remaining active.

This suggests that, despite short-term volatility, Bitcoin’s long-term outlook remains promising. When writing, BTC trades for $96,353, up slightly by 0.3% in the past day, with a current market capitalization of $1.9 trillion. Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart From TradingView

Traders have had a torrid start to the week, as over $500 million has been liquidated from the crypto market in the last 24 hours. This has been due to the Bitcoin price, which has continued to fluctuate heavily in recent times.  $500 Million Liquidated As Bitcoin Price Fluctuates Coinglass data shows that over $500 million was liquidated from the crypto market in the last 24 hours as the Bitcoin price fluctuates. Long traders suffered the most loss, with over $366 million in long positions liquidated. Meanwhile, over $129 million in short positions were liquidated in the last 24 hours.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Extends Rally – Can This Lead To A Breakout Above $0.82? This came as the Bitcoin price dropped significantly from around $98,000 to as low as $95,500 on Sunday. Bitcoin has since recovered and is back again over $98,000. This heavy BTC price fluctuation has been the case since the flagship crypto came close to hitting the $100,000 milestone on November 23.  The Bitcoin price has since witnessed major pullbacks followed by a sharp rebound, leading to mass liquidations as traders struggle to determine the future trajectory of the flagship crypto. These pullbacks have come as investors look to secure profits, seeing as the flagship crypto is approaching this psychological $100,000 price level.  However, some whales remain undeterred as they recently bought $3.96 billion BTC in 96 hours. Notably, Bitcoin miner Marathon Digital bought 5,771 BTC ($572 million) at an average price of 95,554 per BTC.  Although this Bitcoin price range might be the local top, the flagship crypto is still expected to go higher, which explains why these whales are still actively accumulating more BTC. Asset manager VanEck recently stated that $100,000 is only the beginning and predicted that Bitcoin could still reach as high as $180,000.  Today Could Be The Day Crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently predicted that today could be the day the Bitcoin price finally reaches the much-anticipated $100,000 milestone. This came as he revealed that the SuperTrend indicator had flipped bullish on the Bitcoin hourly chart as prices broke through the resistance trendline and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).  Related Reading: XRP Price Reaches 3-Year High At $1.6 – 2 Ways It Can Go From Here In another X post, Martinez suggested that $100,000 won’t be the cycle top for the Bitcoin price in this bull run. He stated that long-term Bitcoin holders are showing signs of growing greed. The analyst claimed that historically, this suggests that it could take 8-11 months for Bitcoin to hit a market top.  If this historic trend continues, the Bitcoin price could peak between June and September 2025. Crypto analysts like Rekt Capital have also predicted that this period could mark the peak for Bitcoin in this bull run. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $98,300, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Cardano (ADA) has had one of the best performances over the last three weeks, surging over 200% toward a 2.5-year high. Today, the cryptocurrency rose over 20% to break above the $0.90 mark, fueling a bullish sentiment for the long-awaited $1 target. Related Reading: Ethereum Attempts Key Breakout: Analysts Set Next Target As ETH Reclaims $3,200 Cardano Makes New Year-High Above $0.90 On Friday, Cardano broke past the $0.81 resistance and skyrocketed toward the $0.90 mark, making a new year-high of $0.97. This performance represents a 22% surge in the last 24 hours, driving the token to its highest price since late April 2022. Cardano peaked above the $3.10 mark three years ago but lost its bullish momentum as the crypto market struggled, hitting its lowest price of $0.22 in June 2023. Since dropping 92% below its all-time high (ATH), ADA has been heavily criticized for underperforming the rest of the market. Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency recovered during Q1 2024 highs, reaching the $0.81 mark before losing 66% of its gains in the next few months. The recent market rally has seen ADA outperform most altcoins in the last three weeks, renewing interest in the cryptocurrency. According to CoinGlass’ data, Cardano’s open interest (OI) surged by 28.25% in the past 24 hours, hitting $855.5 million today. Additionally, it has jumped over 11% in the past four hours, suggesting increased activity and confidence among crypto traders. ADA To Hit $1 Soon? Cardano investors and crypto analysts have recently expressed their bullishness over ADA’s “fire” performance. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that Cardano has surged over 200% this month, fueled by whales and institutional investors. Per the post, the volume of large ADA transactions on the network had increased by over 297% since the US election, reaching $22 billion on November 19. Martinez signaled that these large transactions are related to high accumulation levels, as whales holding $1 million to $10 million in ADA increased their positions by over 100% in the last 30 days. He also highlighted that ADA seems to be mirroring its 2020-2021 price action. As reported by NewsBTC, the analyst has suggested the cryptocurrency is set to experience a 2,000% run toward the $6 mark if it continues to follow its past behavior. Related Reading: Crypto Community’s Revenge: Solana Memecoin Rug-Pulled By Gen Z Trader Hits $80 Million Market Cap As the price soared past $0.90, Martinez pointed out that the $0.80 resistance, where 48,000 addresses had bought 1.2 billion ADA, was a “key area of support to watch for the bullish thesis to hold.” Analyst Sebastian highlighted that, after the $0.80 resistance, “there isn’t much resistance until $1.2.” As such, ADA could potentially see “an explosion from here” and target the long-awaited $1 mark over the weekend. As of this writing, ADA is trading at $0.97, a 46% increase in the last seven days. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

The ongoing Bitcoin bull market has sparked renewed interest in on-chain metrics to fully understand the bullish trend behind the scenes. Earlier today, Avocado Onchain, a CryptoQuant analyst, shared his perspective on Bitcoin’s market performance, focusing on the widely-used Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio. This indicator is often used to assess Bitcoin’s valuation about its realized cap, which represents the aggregated value of all Bitcoin based on its last movement price. Related Reading: Bitcoin Hits S2F Threshold: Should You Hold Tight Or Take Profits? What Bitcoin MVRV Metric Currently Signals According to Avocado Onchain, the MVRV ratio provides key insights into market cycles. Historically, when the MVRV ratio dips below 1, it signals a market bottom, while values above 3.7 have coincided with potential market tops. As Bitcoin approaches new all-time highs, the MVRV ratio’s behavior suggests a shift in market sentiment from skepticism to optimism. This raises critical questions about how investors should interpret these metrics during a bull cycle. The MVRV ratio, calculated by dividing Bitcoin’s market cap by its realized cap, offers insights into whether the asset is undervalued or overvalued relative to its historical averages. Avocado Onchain emphasized that the ratio might not necessarily reach 3.7 in this cycle, as seen in prior bull markets, but could still signal overvaluation at lower levels. He noted that the ratio’s peaks and troughs have shown a narrowing trend, with higher lows and lower highs. MVRV Historical Patterns Drawing from historical patterns, the CryptoQuant analyst noted: In past cycles, detailed analysis of historical charts shows that in 2017, the MVRV ratio first reached 3.7, but Bitcoin’s price didn’t peak until six months later. Similarly, in 2021, the peak followed about three months after the ratio hit 3.7. Avocado Onchain suggested that while the MVRV ratio signals “overvaluation,” it does not guarantee an imminent price peak. Instead, the ratio often lingers around the overvaluation range, reflecting ongoing bullish sentiment with price fluctuations. Related Reading: Bitcoin Officially In Overheated MVRV Zone, Rally End Near? To mitigate risks, Avocado Onchain advises against relying solely on the MVRV ratio for investment decisions. He advocates for a gradual selling strategy as the ratio rises, allowing investors to balance potential gains with reduced exposure to market corrections. The analyst particularly concluded, stating: Asset prices often enter phases of extreme overvaluation that cannot be fully explained by numerical data alone. During a bull market, it’s essential to use not only on-chain metrics but also factors like investor sentiment, macroeconomic trends, and government policies to develop a well-rounded.
