Crucial On-Chain Data Shows Bitcoin’s Rally to $15k is Just the Start

Bitcoin 2020/11/06 11:00 by Nick Chong

Bitcoin has seen a strong surge over the past three weeks, moving from $11,200 to a high of $15,300. That is a 36.5% gain in the span of twenty days, making it the best-performing asset over that time frame.

While some are expecting a retracement from here, on-chain data shows that the market can sustainably move higher. This counteracts the strong sentiment shared by some commentators that Bitcoin is clearly overextended to the upside.

Bitcoin Could Soon Move Even Higher, On-Chain Trends Suggest

Bitcoin’s rapid move to the upside has left many wondering if large investors will pay themselves and take profit. There have already been rumors shared on Twitter that certain traders and whale Bitcoin addresses have been liquidating coins in anticipation of a strong correction.

But according to Rafael Schultze-Kraft, CTO of prominent data firm Glassnode, Bitcoin has room to sustainably rally from here. He shared data from his firm showing that the Relative Unrealized Profit of Bitcoin is currently far from bubble levels:

“#Bitcoin Relative Unrealized Profit: – Previous global tops were hit at around 0.8 – Last year’s local top at $13k was hit at 0.64 – Now we’re at around $15k and current level is only 0.53 Still plenty of room to grow, this is bullish.”

As the chart shows, the last time this metric was this high was in the middle of 2019’s rally, when BTC was trading for $8,000-10,000. The metric holding these lows despite Bitcoin’s price surging higher indicates that BTC will continue higher before serious profit-taking takes place.

Don’t Count Out a Drawdown or Correction

Analysts say that it would be unwise to count out a drop from here, though, or at least a period of consolidation for Bitcoin.

The chart below was shared by an analyst during Bitcoin’s latest leg higher. It suggests that the cryptocurrency has a good chance of reversing here due to a historical indicator.
