As February comes to a close, it would be fair to say that the Bitcoin price has had one of its worst monthly performances in over two years. What’s worrisome is that the premier cryptocurrency doesn’t appear to be done, as the bear market roars on. Below are some of the relevant support levels to watch out for over the next few months. MVRV Bands Put BTC Bear Market Bottom At $51,558 In a recent post on the X platform, popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez identified two levels that could be crucial to the future of the Bitcoin price in the coming months. This evaluation revolves around the MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) pricing bands. Related Reading: The Distribution Trap: Why Bitcoin’s Reserve Growth Proves Sellers Still Hold The Tape The MVRV pricing bands are an on-chain analytics tool that shows the different profitability levels of the investors of a cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, in this scenario). Typically, these pricing bands represent dynamic support and resistance levels, as they compare the current market price to the average realized value of all investors. Hence, the MVRV pricing bands can be useful in identifying potential market tops (in overheated conditions) and price bottoms (of undervalued assets). According to Glassnode data shared by Martinez, the potential bottom in the current Bitcoin bear market lies between $51,558 and $54,703. The purple line (which shows a -1 standard deviation of the MVRV ratio) represents a deep capitulation phase for the market and has always been a point of reversal for the Bitcoin price in past bear markets. As shown in the chart below, the price of BTC got rejected twice at this level in 2022, during the thick of the crypto winter. At the time of publishing his post, Martinez revealed that the purple MVRV band stood at around $51,558. While this suggests that the $51,000 level could be the potential bottom of the current bear market, it is worth mentioning that the MVRV band could shift slightly downward as the price steadily falls. In the unlikely scenario that the Bitcoin price witnesses a turnaround at its current price point, it would have to contend with a key resistance level around $73,726. According to Glassnode’s MVRV pricing bands, the -0.5 standard deviation line represents an accumulation zone, where investors might look to offload their tokens once they break even. Ultimately, these MVRV pricing bands hint at the potential turning points for the Bitcoin price over the coming months. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $65,800, reflecting an over 2% dip in the past 24 hours.

Crypto analyst Sean Park has provided insights into how high the Dogecoin price could rise if Bitcoin reaches $200,000. This comes as DOGE continues to suffer massive selling pressure with BTC struggling to break key resistance levels. Dogecoin Price Could Reach $2.50 If Bitcoin Rallies To $200,000 In an X post, Park shared an insight about how the Dogecoin price could rally to between $2 and $2.50 if Bitcoin reaches around $200,000. Furthermore, DOGE could reach between $4 and $4.20 if there is an adoption catalyst, such as major franchises adopting the foremost meme coin. Related Reading: Aave Crosses $1 Trillion In Loans — No Bank Required Meanwhile, the analyst also cited predictions that the Dogecoin price could gradually rally to $10 if BlackRock files for a DOGE ETF by the next presidential election. A potential BlackRock ETF could drive massive inflows into the Dogecoin ecosystem, leading to a parabolic rally. Bitwise, Grayscale, and 21Shares currently offer DOGE ETFs. However, these funds have seen little demand, which failed to positively impact the Dogecoin price. SoSoValue data shows that February 2 was the last time these funds recorded daily net inflows. They currently boast total net assets of $8.39 million, which represents 0.05% of DOGE’s market cap. In terms of adoption, Elon Musk’s X is one of the major platforms where market participants speculate that DOGE could be integrated into the proposed X payments at some point. This is primarily because of Musk’s affinity for the foremost meme coin. Such a move could provide a major boost for the Dogecoin price as it would expand the meme coin’s utility. In the meantime, the Dogecoin price continues to face significant selling pressure amid the downtrend in the broader crypto market, led by Bitcoin. BTC struggled to break above $70,000 earlier this week following its rally to this psychological level earlier this year, leading to another corrective move. A Breakout Is On The Horizon For DOGE Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade stated that a breakout for the Dogecoin price is coming with a contracting triangle loading. He noted that DOGE is squeezing tight between converging trendlines, with highs getting lower while lows are getting higher. The analyst added that a classic contracting triangle pattern is building up pressure. His accompanying chart showed that the Dogecoin price could rally to $0.16 by the start of next month. Trader Tarigrade is confident that this rally could happen, noting that this pattern typically resolves with a sharp breakout. He added that price is compressing, volume is dropping, and energy is strong, which could lead to a parabolic rally.

Ethereum has perhaps taken the largest hit of all the large-cap altcoins in February, with its value dropping by more than 36% over the past month. The second-largest cryptocurrency deepened its woes over the past week, struggling to keep its price above the $2,000 level. On Friday, February 27th, the price of Ethereum fell by more than 5%, falling to just above the $1,900 mark. Interestingly, a recent on-chain evaluation shows the potential reason behind the altcoin’s latest struggles below $2,000. ETH Taker Volume Sees Steady Rise On Friday In a February 27th post on the social media platform, crypto pundit Maartunn revealed the source of the recent bearish pressure witnessed by the Ethereum price. The relevant on-chain indicator here is the Taker Sell Volume, which saw steady spikes across all exchanges throughout Friday. Related Reading: XRP Emerging As Safe Haven? CEO Points To Steady Inflows As BTC, ETH Struggle For context, the Taker Sell Volume metric measures the total volume of sell orders filled by takers (market participants who match existing orders created by market makers) in Ethereum perpetual swaps. Hence, a rise in the indicator can be interpreted as a bearish signal, implying that the market is being flooded with sell orders. As observed in the chart above, the Ethereum Taker Sell Volume rose as high as 105 million ETH on Friday. Now, this puts some context to the fall in the ETH price seen on the day, as the spike in this metric is a sign of heavy selling pressure in the market earlier. The price of ETH, which started the day above the $2,000 mark, soon dropped to around $1,920 as the weekend approached. Ethereum Price Overview As of this writing, the price of ETH stands at around $1,925, reflecting an over 5% decline in the past 24 hours. However, the past week’s action was relatively mild, with the second-largest cryptocurrency losing nearly 2% of its value in the past seven days. The selling pressure witnessed by the Ethereum price over the past day is not new, as it has been the case over the past few weeks. This trend can be seen in the recent performance of ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs). According to recent market data, the US-based Ethereum ETFs have seen roughly 563,600 ETH (worth nearly $1.13 billion) withdrawn by investors over the past five weeks. This significant ETF outflow highlights the shift in investor sentiment and demand since the last week of January. Market sentiment and demand need to shift optimistically for the ETH price to witness a bullish reversal soon.
