Bitcoin Price To Bottomed Out Soon?
Bitcoin trading volumes look to return to normal after the holiday season and guide the BTC price direction for the next few weeks. According to the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index, the positive sentiment has marginally increased to 27 in the last 24 hours.
On-chain analysis of the Realized Price UTXO age band data indicates that the average price of 6 to 24 months held Bitcoin is $34k to $52k. Moreover, the deposited UTXO and consumed UTXO of coins held for the last 6 to 24 months are at losses, not profit.
Therefore, panic selling by long-term holders is underway. Historically, large spikes in bands from an average loss were at the bottom of the market. While there may be more pain left, panic selling help create a bottom for Bitcoin. Also, traders should keep an eye on the Long Term Holder SOPR indicator (SMA 7) when long-term holders stop selling at a loss to confirm a bull market.
