Crypto analysts at Bitfinex report bullish signals as Bitcoin (BTC) surpasses $50,000, indicating potential for further growth. Key metrics like the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) and realized price suggest the early stages of a bullish trend, with MVRV standing above its one-year Simple Moving Average, indicating substantial unrealized profits.
The MVRV ratio, a crucial indicator for Bitcoin market cycles, currently surpasses 2.4, signaling potential for continued price appreciation. Analysts interpret this as a shift in investor behavior, as holders show increased willingness to maintain positions, reducing the tendency for early profit-taking.
In addition, the short-term holder realized price metric indicates a slowdown in profit-taking, suggesting Bitcoin has more room for growth. The market dynamics are further influenced by changes in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). While Grayscale’s Bitcoin ETF outflows have slowed, other crypto funds are witnessing increased inflows.
Despite a recent 21% plunge in Grayscale’s Bitcoin ETF (GBTC) following approvals last month, the tide has shifted, with investors showing a decreased inclination to sell GBTC funds. The other nine crypto products collectively hold 216,309 BTC, surpassing MicroStrategy‘s holdings. Bitfinex anticipates these inflows to persist, particularly with the upcoming Bitcoin halving in April, supported by sustained high levels of illiquid supply and over 70% of BTC in the hands of long-term holders. These on-chain indicators and ETF dynamics align to paint a bullish outlook for Bitcoin’s future price movements.
