Key Points
- Bitcoin’s key on-chain indicators point to a possible breakout from the $90K-108K range.
- Reduced sell pressure from long-term holders and a high choppiness index suggest a strong uptrend.
Bitcoin [BTC] seems to be on the cusp of a new uptrend, as indicated by several on-chain metrics.
The breakout from the $90K-108K range appears to be imminent, given the current indicators.
Choppiness Index and Sell Pressure
The choppiness index (CI), a metric that measures BTC price action relative to its price consolidation, suggests that the current sideways movement is nearing its end.
On-chain analyst Checkmate supports this view, stating, “The #Bitcoin Choppiness Index is fully gassed, and ready to trend.”
Historical data shows that a sharp uptick in the weekly CI often signals consolidation, while a drop in CI corresponds with sharp uptrends or downtrends.
Market Response to Pro-Crypto Administration
With the recent pro-crypto stance of the Trump administration, the market seems to lean towards an uptrend.
In addition, easing BTC supply pressure from long-term holders (LTH) is another bullish indicator.
According to Glassnode’s “weekly on-chain” report, selling pressure from LTH has significantly decreased, indicating a trend towards renewed BTC accumulation.
The average price range for a 60-day period also signals a potential breakout.
Glassnode notes that the current sideways structure is tighter than the historical 60-day price range, which typically precedes bullish breakouts.
The combined metrics suggest a strong uptrend above $100K may be imminent.
However, the impact of macro updates and announcements from the Trump administration on this outlook remains to be seen.
