Highlights
The Bitcoin price saw strong gains over the past week adding another 8-9% and is currently trading around $72,200 levels. Also, charts showing the “Golden cross” formation suggest that we might be seeing news all-time highs for BTC very soon.
As per the latest data from CryptoQuant, Bitcoin’s active addresses suggest a major shift in momentum as the 30DMA has crossed above the 365DMA, forming a “golden cross” — historically associated with upward price momentum.
Following Bitcoin’s last all-time high in March, a “death cross” pattern had emerged which pushed the Bitcoin price into a bearish territory. Since then, BTC has yet not been able to breach the March levels. However, the momentum seems to be shifting now with bulls in place and the latest formation of the “Golden cross” pattern. Additionally, transaction counts are nearly twice what they were in the 2021 cycle, underscoring heightened market activity.
However, CryptoQuant analysts caution that if the 30DMA does not exceed the 365DMA more strongly, BTC’s current trend may mirror the mid-2021 consolidation phase. This critical period is one to watch closely for investors assessing long-term momentum.
During the previous Bitcoin price rallies to all-time highs, it saw strong retail participation along with institutional participation. However, in the past few weeks, retail participation remained subdued with institutional players and whales driving most of the price action.
But the latest development suggests that retail participation is also picking up once again in the market. Also, on-chain data shows that the retail demand for BTC has surged to the seven-month highs recently.
There are some parts of the world such as Europe and Canada where the Bitcoin price continues to make fresh all-time highs. On the other hand, the institutional demand remains intact.
Inflows into spot Bitcoin ETF reached the second highest on Wednesday, October 30, with BlackRock’s IBIT dominating the show entirely. IBIT’s total inflows have surged past $25 billion since inception within a matter of just 10 months of launch.
On the other hand, the largest BTC corporate holder MicroStrategy unveiled its plans to raise a total of $42 billion and buy more Bitcoins. This shows that corporate interest in BTC remains intact. Players across the globe like Metaplanet have adopted Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin adoption blueprint. On the other hand, Microsoft is also considering shareholder vote to put BBTC to its balance sheet.
