Bitcoin has shown a significant recovery, reclaiming the $100,000
milestone yesterday. It trades at $101,805, marking a 1.4% increase
over the past 24 hours. Amid this price performance, analysts have
closely examined various metrics to gauge potential market
movements, including identifying optimal cash-out moments.
Meanwhile, recent data reveals intriguing patterns that could guide
investor strategies. When Should You Cash Out Your Bitcoin? One key
insight shared by a CryptoQuant analyst, Onchain Edge, highlights a
critical signal for when investors should consider reducing their
Bitcoin holdings. Other metrics suggest a resurgence in buyer
activity, reinforcing optimism in Bitcoin’s ongoing rally. Onchain
Edge emphasizes the importance of the BTC supply loss percentage as
a marker for peak market phases. He notes that when this metric
drops below 4%, it could signify the culmination of a bull market
and the beginning of an overheated market phase. Currently,
the current supply loss percentage stands at 8.14%, providing room
for further price growth before a potential peak. The analyst
warns, however, that failing to act at the right time during such
peak phases could lead to substantial losses in a subsequent bear
market. Elaborating on his analysis, Onchain Edge encourages
investors to consider dollar-cost averaging (DCA) out of their
positions once the supply loss percentage breaches the 4%
threshold. It is worth noting that this strategy by Edge
could help mitigate the risk of holding through the transition into
a bear market. Historically, peak bull run phases are characterized
by significant profits among market participants, often followed by
sharp corrections. Investors can protect their gains by exiting
strategically while preparing for lower entry points during future
market downturns. BTC Buyer Activity Resurges Meanwhile, in a
separate analysis, another CryptoQuant analyst known as
Crazzyblockk sheds light on the behavior of takers on Binance, one
of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges. Data from the Taker
Buy/Sell Ratio shows a shift toward aggressive buying
activity. This metric, which compares the volume of buy
orders filled by takers to sell orders, had experienced a period of
negative monthly values, indicating a preference for selling among
market participants. However, the ratio has recently turned
positive, signifying renewed interest from buyers. This trend
suggests reduced selling pressure and growing optimism among
traders about Bitcoin’s potential price increase. According
to Crazzyblockk, sustaining this momentum is critical for
maintaining the bullish trajectory, particularly as Bitcoin
consolidates around the psychologically significant $100,000 level.
