Cryptocurrency analytics firm CryptoQuant has claimed that there are significant signs that the Bitcoin market is preparing for a new uptrend.
According to their latest analysis, the Exchange Flow Coefficient, a key indicator that tracks the ratio of short-term (30-day) BTC inflows and outflows to long-term (365-day) inflows and outflows on exchanges, is approaching its lowest point this year.
The decline in the Exchange Flow Coefficient indicates that short-term Bitcoin flows on exchanges are significantly lower than long-term ones. This decline is linked to lower volatility in exchange activity, a pattern that analysts say is often associated with investors accumulating assets.
CryptoQuant explained two key factors contributing to this trend:
- Long-Term BTC Holders Hold Positions: Experienced Bitcoin holders, often referred to as “HODLers,” continue to hold onto their holdings rather than actively trading. According to analysts, this behavior is typical in the early stages of a bull market, as these wallets anticipate future price increases and prefer not to sell during periods of market uncertainty.
- Market Stability After Correction: After significant price declines or corrections, markets often experience a period of recovery, with trading activity decreasing as investors wait for prices to stabilize before resuming active trading. The current low Exchange Flow Coefficient suggests that the market is in such a phase.
According to CryptoQuant, historically, low values of the Exchange Flow Coefficient precede major price rallies, as seen ahead of the 2023 Bitcoin bull run. Current levels of this indicator could indicate that the market may be gearing up for another uptrend, potentially signaling a new bullish phase in the cryptocurrency market.
