BTC Price Eyes $100K Levels

BTC MVRV levels show that much of the froth has been removed as the Bitcoin price flirts around $94,500 levels over the past week, while setting the stage for gains to $100K levels. Popular crypto analyst Kyledopps reported:

“The froth is gone — the reset is real. Bitcoin’s MVRV just touched its long-term mean at 1.74 — a classic sign of flushed-out unrealized gains. Hold this level? It’s a clean reset and a setup for recovery”.

It will be interesting to see how soon BTC can resume its journey upwards of $100K as the CoinGape Bitcoin price prediction indicator shows the asset will flirt around $94,600 over the next month. However, continued inflows into Bitcoin ETFs can provide an additional catalyst for the rally ahead.
