Bitcoin Takes a Wild Ride!

So, picture this: Bitcoin (BTC) finally decides to break free from its snooze-fest of a consolidation phase and charges over the $90,000 threshold like a kid in a candy store! For a hot minute, it even flirted with $94,700 but, just like that one friend who can’t handle their dessert, it quickly got rejected and has now settled down in the cozy $90,000-$92,000 neighborhood.

The Bear’s Comeback?

Now, here’s where it gets a little hairy. Our friend OnChain, an astute market analyst, has been sniffing around and picked up on some sketchy signs of market weakness that hint we might be gearing up for another bear market. In their latest post (which you definitely won’t find on the latest memes), they outlined their findings using a bunch of technical indicators and on-chain data. Basically, it’s like they pulled out the crystal ball for some serious market forecasting!

Indicators that Make Us Go Hmm…

They looked at things like the 4 Anchored VWAPs from some key moments (think 2021 ATH, 2025 ATH, and the halving events), the SMA50, and the amount of Bitcoin held in UTXO Age Bands (that’s the 6-12 month crowd). All this data is like a treasure map for Bitcoin lovers, marking similar patterns between now and the infamous 2021-2022 crash.

History Repeats Itself?

One thing that caught their eye is that Bitcoin is presently trading below its average price since the last all-time high, and that’s the moment when things went downhill last time. It seems that if BTC has fallen below the average price of its past glory, we might just be at the start of another downhill ride instead of a brief pit stop. Whoa, talk about déjà vu!

The Support Shuffle

In the “Areas 2” section of their findings, OnChain points out that Bitcoin tends to find some comfort (a support level, if you will) at the anchored VWAP from its last halving, much like that reliable buddy who always shows up during the rough patches. After its price correction back in 2022, Bitcoin tried to rebound but ran into some serious resistance from the indicators around the first area’s bad vibes, and, well, it ended up on a prolonged downtrend.

Resistance Level: Danger Zone!

As it stands, the indicators from the first area are currently hovering around $98,000 – $101,000, which are the next potential roadblocks for our beloved Bitcoin. And guess what? While all this trading drama unfolds, Bitcoin’s Apparent Demand is going down faster than your favorite snack at a movie marathon—indicating a serious lack of buying excitement.

But Wait, There’s Hope!

Despite all these alarm bells ringing, there’s a glimmer of hope! One of the bright spots on the horizon is something called the Clarity Act. OnChain is buzzing about its potential impact, which remains a mystery for now but could spell either fortune or folly for us Bitcoin enthusiasts.

The Final Countdown

As we wrap this up, Bitcoin is currently chilling around $90,500 after a slight dip of 0.58% in the past 24 hours. And hold onto your hats; its monthly loss is sitting at 1.9%! Looks like the bulls are in a bit of a pickle trying to regain market control. But then again, the rollercoaster ride that is the cryptocurrency market is never really done, is it?
