Bitcoin’s Bull Score Index has climbed back to 50, moving out of outright bearish territory and into what CryptoQuant’s Julio Moreno described as a neutral zone. In a post on X, the CryptoQuant head of research wrote: “First time in this bear market that the Bull Score Index enters neutral zone (50). In March 2022, the Bull Score entered neutral territory for about a week, and then the price resumed its decline.” What This Means For Bitcoin Price That comparison is doing most of the work here. Moreno is not presenting the move to 50 as confirmation of a durable trend reversal. He is pointing instead to a prior episode in which conditions improved just enough to leave bearish territory, only for the market to roll over again soon after. The implication is straightforward: neutral is better than bearish, but it is not the same thing as bullish. The CryptoQuant chart helps frame that shift. The index spent much of mid-2025 in stronger territory, with readings frequently above 60 while bitcoin traded broadly in a higher range and pushed above $120,000.

As price weakened into late 2025 and early 2026, the Bull Score Index deteriorated as well, at times dropping toward the bottom of the scale as bitcoin sank into the low-$60,000s. What stands out now is the recovery in the indicator from those depressed readings. By April, the Bull Score had risen back to roughly 50 as bitcoin recovered toward the mid-$70,000 range. In other words, market conditions as measured by CryptoQuant are no longer flashing the same degree of weakness they were earlier in the downturn. But they have not yet crossed into the zone the chart labels as bullish, which begins at 60. Related Reading: Anthony Scaramucci Puts Bitcoin Market Cap At $21 Trillion, So How Much Will 1 BTC Be? That leaves the signal in an awkward but important middle ground. A move from bearish to neutral can indicate that selling pressure is easing and that some underlying conditions are improving. It can also mark nothing more than a pause inside a broader downtrend. Moreno’s 2022 analogy suggests he sees that ambiguity as the key point, rather than the headline value of 50 on its own. The Bull Score Index is one of CryptoQuant’s composite Bitcoin market gauges. Rather than tracking a single datapoint, it measures the share of bullish readings across 10 key indicators tied to network activity, investor profitability, liquidity, and other fundamental and technical conditions. That is why the move to 50 matters: on CryptoQuant’s framework, it suggests that roughly half of the indicators that define a bullish regime have turned constructive again, even if the market is still short of the 60-plus zone the firm treats as outright bullish. At press time, BTC traded at $78,057. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

A crypto analyst, Zynx, on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, has shown where the Bitcoin price might be headed over the next few years using the Bitcoin Power Law. This law shows a steady upward trajectory, putting into perspective the performance of Bitcoin over a long period of time. Using this Power Law, the crypto analyst lays out the first prediction, and that is that the Bitcoin price will end up hitting $145,000 in 2026. This would mean that the digital asset would complete an over 100% rally in order to hit this target, suggesting that there is another bull run coming this year. As the years start to stretch out, so does the Bitcoin prediction go higher. For the year 2027, the analyst puts the price as high as $200,000, an almost 3x from the current levels at the time of writing. Then the next year, 2028, the Bitcoin price is expected to hit $265,000. Related Reading: Remember Arbitrum? This Analyst Just Predicted That A 7,400% Rally Is Coming The predictions do not end there, spreading out farther and the price rising drastically with each year. By 2029, the Bitcoin price is expected to have hit $350,000, and still, this is not the highest. This is because the next year of 2030 shows the Bitcoin price then touching $470,000. The last of the predictions shows when the Bitcoin price will hit $1,000,000 per coin and this is expected to happen in 2030. This would mean that the bitcoin price would rise by more than 1,400% in the next five years to rally above $1,000,000. One interesting thing about the analyst’s prediction is the fact that it expects the Bitcoin price to continue to rise year over year. This would leave little to no room for bear markets, with what could be described as a perpetual bull run if the price is to hit this target. Every so often I like to check what the Bitcoin Power Law predicts. Mid-year projections: 2026: ~$145,000 2027: ~$200,000 2028: ~$265,000 2029: ~$350,000 2030: ~$470,000 2033: ~$1,000,000 Current price = $75,200 We are in historically undervalued territory. ₿ullish. — Zynx (@ZynxBTC) April 20, 2026 The Bitcoin Power Law Explained The Bitcoin power law usually focuses on the long-term outlook of the cryptocurrency, often taking a more bullish route due to the length of time that it predicts over. Mostly, it uses historical performances to predict how high the Bitcoin price could go. It then plots this on a ‘Power line’ that shows the advancement of Bitcoin through the years. Related Reading: Analyst Says Ethereum Just Confirmed A ‘Turtle Soup’, Here’s What It Means Over time, the Power Law has pointed to the Bitcoin price crossing $100,000, which it eventually did, and as the price has risen, so has the Power Law forecasts. One website, Bitbo, plots the Power Law starting from 2011, and going by the trajectory, the price is much higher than it is now. This movement suggests that while the Bitcoin price may fluctuate in the short term, it continues to actually maintain an upward trajectory in the long term. It also means that the ‘outrageous’ predictions that analysts make all the time for the digital asset may very well be a matter of when, and not if.

Bitcoin (BTC) may be starting to shake off the worst part of the downturn that began in October last year, according to new research from Grayscale. The firm points to Feb. 5—when BTC traded around $63,000—as a “durable” market bottom. Potential Start Of A New Bitcoin Bull Market In Grayscale’s view, the rebound since that low has been meaningful. The firm’s Head of Research, Zach Pandl, said the BTC price bottomed at roughly $63,000 and has since climbed more than 20%, reaching about $76,000. That level, he noted, is slightly above the average cost basis for recent buyers, which matters because it can reduce the incentive to sell after a drop. In other words, if many holders are no longer underwater, selling pressure may ease at a time when buyers are trying to regain control. Related Reading: A Stark XRP Price Call: Why One Analyst Says It Could Be Under $1 By 2031 For Bitcoin transacted over the past one to three months, Grayscale says the realized price is about $74,000. That implies many newer buyers are already back near break-even. If BTC continues rising in the days ahead, more recent participants could shift into positive profit and loss, which Grayscale treats as a potential early sign of a bull-market transition. In that framework, the Feb. 5 low is not just a statistical low—it’s presented as the point where the market may have stabilized enough to start a new upward phase. $78,000 Still Holds The Key Adding to the bullish case, Bitcoin whales reportedly added about 45,000 BTC last week, the fastest weekly accumulation pace since July 2025. Long-term holders, meanwhile, have reportedly accumulated more than 1 million BTC over the past three months. Glassnode data also indicates that upward momentum has cooled somewhat. Even so, it still points to strong buyer interest, which could help cushion the market and reduce the odds of a sharp slide. At the same time, trading activity on centralized exchanges has risen, suggesting ongoing participation rather than a sudden exit. In the Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) sector, Glassnode points to several indicators improving, including an increase in the MVRV ratio alongside netflow. These signals are described as consistent with improved profitability expectations and stronger investor interest. Related Reading: AAVE Price Plummets By 26%: $9 Billion Net Outflows Traced To Kelp DAO Hack Combined with higher overall trading activity, the picture is presented as a cautiously optimistic shift in sentiment, especially for investors engaging with Bitcoin through regulated channels and traditional custody. Even with these supportive signs, Bitcoin isn’t free of near-term challenges. BTC has slightly retraced toward the $75,800 area at the time of writing, and it remains unclear whether it can break the closest resistance level near $78,000. That price point has capped stronger upside moves toward $80,000 since Jan. 30. The overall takeaway is that the market may be setting up for a larger move, but the next step likely depends on whether resistance can be cleared.
