Analyst Willy Woo has highlighted how some old-school Bitcoin on-chain models could suggest a bottoming zone for the asset in the current cycle. Bitcoin Bottomed Between Realized Price & CVDD In Past Bear Markets In a new post on X, analyst Willy Woo has talked about where the Bitcoin bottom could lie according to two on-chain models. The models in question are the Realized Price and CVDD. Related Reading: KPMG, PwC Involved In Tether’s First-Ever Audit: Report First, the “Realized Price” keeps track of the cost basis or acquisition value of the average token part of the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply. Whenever the spot price is above this metric, the investors as a whole could be assumed to be in a state of net unrealized profit. Similarly, the asset being below the level can imply the dominance of loss on the blockchain. As shown in the chart shared by Woo, the Bitcoin Realized Price has been sliding down recently, meaning that average investor cost basis has been declining. In other words, the average capital invested per holder is down, so some net capital could be considered to have left the cryptocurrency. Following the drawdown in the Realized Price since November, its value has dropped to around $54,200. So far in the latest bearish market phase, Bitcoin has yet to retest this level. From the chart, it’s visible that past bear markets found their bottoms when BTC was below the indicator. Interestingly, the other model in the chart, the CVDD, served as a sort of lower bound across these cycles, with BTC never dipping below it. The CVDD, standing for Cumulative Value Days Destroyed, is an indicator created by Woo that derives from the popular Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) metric. A “coin day” is a quantity that 1 BTC accumulates after being dormant on the blockchain for 1 day. When a token dormant for some number of days is moved, its coin days reset back to zero and are said to be destroyed. The CDD measures the number of coin days being reset across the network in this manner. The CVDD goes a step further and attaches a USD value to each of these coin days, based on the BTC price at the time, and takes their cumulative sum. Additionally, it applies a normalization factor by taking the sum’s ratio with the total age of the market (in days). Related Reading: Bitcoin Unrealized Loss Hits 15% Of Market Cap—Still Below FTX Capitulation Levels Today, the Bitcoin CVDD is sitting at $45,500. If the pattern from the last few cycles is anything to go by, it’s possible that BTC could find a bottom somewhere between this level and the Realized Price at $54,200. That said, the analyst also added a caution, noting: Models use past behaviour… there’s only been 4 prior bear markets and they have been inside a secular bull market in risk equities. If that foundation collapses, we will be in uncharted territory (deeper bear). BTC Price Bitcoin has again failed to maintain its recovery as its price has slipped to the $67,200 mark.

The XRP price traded at around $1.30 on Monday as markets consolidated and Bitcoin (BTC) fought to hold above $67,000, but the calm belies meaningful downside risk if BTC revisits its key support at $60,000, according to market analyst Sam Daodu. Key Levels For XRP Price In his latest report, Daodu warns that XRP’s price action tends to amplify Bitcoin moves. He noted that this year the XRP price has behaved with roughly a 1.8-to-1 correlation to BTC’s declines. That means XRP is vulnerable to a steep retracement if BTC loses ground. Related Reading: XRP Nears Key Turning Point As Descending Wedge Tightens On XRP’s outlook, Daodu points to a sequence of support levels that could determine how far losses extend. The immediate floor is at about $1.28, where 443 million XRP have been accumulated by holders who have stepped in on dips. If that level breaks, buying interest thins, and the next material support is around $1.11 — the low seen in February. Beneath $1.11, Daodu identifies $1.00 as the next notable cushion for the XRP price, with a deeper support cluster near $0.82, which would mean a near 40% decline for the altcoin on top of current losses. The analyst asserts that once $1.28 gives way, a rapid slide to $1.11 could follow, and if that fails, a drop toward $1.00 or lower would be possible because there are few bids between those levels. What Could Push BTC Back To $60,000 Daodu’s scenario hinges on Bitcoin revisiting $60,000, a test he regards as the most important support for BTC so far this cycle. He cites macro drivers that could pressure Bitcoin, notably the conflict in Iran and elevated oil prices. “As long as oil stays above $100 and the war keeps escalating, Bitcoin stays under pressure,” he said, framing those geopolitical and commodity dynamics as key determinants of Bitcoin’s near-term path. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Will Do A ‘Big Print’ If This Happens; Pundit Explains There are, however, events that could help decouple the XRP price from Bitcoin’s movements. Daodu highlights two potential catalysts: the passage of the long-anticipated CLARITY Act and renewed inflows into spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Passage of the CLARITY Act would, in his view, create a legal framework enabling institutions to use XRP for settlement at scale. Likewise, sustained ETF inflows would produce consistent buying pressure that could support XRP’s price. At the time of writing, the XRP price was at $1.32, having recorded a 8% weekly loss, according to CoinGecko data. Featured image from OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com

The Bitcoin price could be on the verge of a major surge as new discussions from market watchers warn that the next big print from policymakers is inevitable. They point to key catalysts, including geopolitical tensions, banking stress, and more, that could trigger this move. Once it unfolds, Bitcoin is projected to explode in value, driven by adoption from both institutions and retail investors. Why Experts Say A Big Print Is Coming On March 29, LG Doucet, host at the crypto media company Milk Road, interviewed John Haar, managing director at Swan Private, on YouTube. During the discussion, Doucet asked Haar about the current market conditions that trigger another large-scale printing event. Related Reading: Crypto Trader Predicts Bitcoin Price Will Hit $100,000 Again When This Happens Haar noted that there have been two major prints in most people’s adult lives, the most recent occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic. He explained that at the time, many people began adopting Bitcoin as a monetary and fiscal response to the global crisis, likely seeing the leading cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation. In the interview, Haar stated that “it’s only a matter of time before the next big print.” While he did not provide a specific date for when this could happen, the Swan Private managing director expressed confidence that a large-scale printing event is inevitable. Haar outlined nine catalysts that could trigger a potential big print. First, he pointed to a large-scale geopolitical war or military mobilization as a major factor. He emphasized, however, that the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran does not yet qualify as a big-print catalyst, unless the war escalates significantly. Another key catalyst, according to Haar, is AI-driven labor displacements, which he believes could lead to the passage of a substantial new spending bill. He also highlighted the risk of state budget collapses or the need for federal or private credit bailout. Additionally, Haar warned of potential pension system insolvencies and regional banking sector crises, similar to those seen in 2023 following the collapse of major banks such as Silicon Valley Bank. Looking ahead, Haar also highlighted other big print catalysts such as a structural expansion of entitlements, including Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and student loan forgiveness. Finally, he noted that a major climate event or natural disaster could trigger a big print. Haar emphasized that any of these scenarios, or a combination of them, could occur within the next 3 to 24 months. How This Affects The Bitcoin Price During the interview, Doucet asked how large-scale adoption could affect cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin. Haar noted that during such events, adoption of Bitcoin rises as investors tend to allocate more to the cryptocurrency than to other asset classes. He noted that asset classes like real estate are slow to sell and are not easily traded, while private equity is harder to access. Related Reading: Bitcoin Last Line Of Defense Revealed: Can BTC Price Still Go To $40,000? For his long-term projection, Haar forecasts that Bitcoin could hit $1 million per coin between 2030 and 2035 regardless of a big print. He also noted that, over the next few years, institutional adoption of Bitcoin will be gradual but steady, likely driving its valuation upward. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
