Loss of Bullish Momentum as Bitcoin Traders Reassess

Bitcoin’s price has experienced significant downward pressure, resulting in several key market performance indicators turning negative. A recent indicator that has shifted is the Bitcoin Bull Score Index, suggesting a marked decrease in market optimism. This index measures investor momentum, accumulation strength, and confidence among key market participants. A drop to level 0 is a rare occurrence, last seen in January 2020, indicating a complete loss of bullish sentiment in the short term. Although this does not guarantee a full trend reversal, it suggests that market enthusiasm has reached a significant low.
Despite the index reaching level 0, experts suggest that the market is not in the early stages of a bear market capitulation akin to 2022. With Bitcoin’s price still in the six-figure range, this adjustment follows an extended bull market.
Historical Significance of the Bull Score Index
Historically, a Bull Score of 0 has indicated either a late-cycle distribution before a trend reversal or macroeconomic bottoms, as observed in 2020 and 2022. The current metrics suggest a transition from a late-bull to an early-bear market phase, rather than a deep capitulation. Presently, all ten on-chain components, including the MVRV, ETF flows, stablecoin liquidity, demand growth, and trader margins, are below trend. Furthermore, Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) and corporate inflows have slowed, long-term holders are distributing, and stablecoin liquidity is contracted.
According to expert IT Tech, market strength currently relies on constrained supply rather than new demand, and momentum has significantly cooled. For the market to regain its strength, ETF inflows, liquidity growth, and long-term holder re-accumulation are necessary. Without these elements, Bitcoin might face a prolonged consolidation phase.
A New Pattern in Bitcoin’s Market Dynamics
Market expert Mignolet has observed a notable shift in Bitcoin’s market structure after analyzing the Bitcoin Realized Cap. Despite changes in the market pattern, interest in Bitcoin remains robust. This shift is partly due to the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs, which altered previous ratio-based data focus.
Prior to ETF approval, market attention was largely driven by ratio-based data; however, this focus shifted following the greenlighting of BTC Spot ETFs. An analysis beyond ratios indicates that the market is not overheated, although investor interest remains high.
