Top 5 Bitcoin Signals to Watch
Bitcoin has made a surprising comeback, with its value increasing by 29% since July 5 and reaching a high of $68,000. This impressive increase is generating excitement among investors. Cryptocurrency analyst Willy Woo has identified key macro signals that could drive Bitcoin continues to rise.
One thing is for sure: you can’t miss it! Here’s what to look for and why these signs are important.
End of Mining Capitulation: A Bullish Signal?
Woo points to the end of miner capitulation as an important indicator. Miner capitulation occurs when miners struggle financially, often leading to a decline in the price of Bitcoin. Woo believes this phase is over and notes that hash rate, a measure of the network’s processing power, is now recovering.
The arrival of new mining hardware, such as the M66s and S21 Pro, is expected to further increase the hash rate, heralding a potential uptrend.
Woo points out that the hash rate recovery is a strong bullish signal. Historically, when the hash rate improves, the price of Bitcoin tends to follow. This pattern suggests that Bitcoin could see a significant price increase soon.
Puell Multiple: Understanding the Phases
Another important metric Woo is looking at is the Puell Multiple. This indicator compares the miner’s current profitability to past earnings and has two key phases:
- Macro funds: When miner profitability is at its lowest, it signals a possible trend reversal.
- Signal below: When the Bitcoin halving event cuts miners’ earnings in half, creating the conditions for a potential bull run.
Woo believes we are currently in the Signal Bottom phase. With miner earnings down, the market may be ready for a bullish shift, making it a good time to invest in mining stocks.
Global liquidity on the rise
Woo also points to the impact of global liquidity. When liquidity increases, often due to more money being printed, investors tend to move into riskier assets like Bitcoin. Current signs suggest that global liquidity may be increasing, which could support a bullish outlook for Bitcoin.
Bearish Concerns to Watch
Despite these positive signs, Woo also points out some bearish factors. One concern is the recent surge in Bitcoin being moved to spot exchanges, including a large transfer of 42,587 BTC from Mt. Gox to new wallets. This could impact market dynamics.
Additionally, the upcoming launch of the Ethereum spot ETF could lead to a shift of capital from Bitcoin to Ethereum, which could also impact the price of Bitcoin.
What future for Bitcoin?
Looking ahead, Woo believes that Bitcoin needs to break above $73,000 to trigger a short squeeze, potentially pushing the price up to $77,000. Beyond this level, Bitcoin could enter a price discovery phase with fewer hurdles.
Currently, Bitcoin trades at $66,613showing a 1% decline in the last 24 hours. Despite this decline, BTC trading volume increased by 47%, with a market cap of $1.31 trillion.
