Extra help for a bullish Bitcoin outlook got here from on-chain knowledge. At the least three blockchain-focused metrics confirmed that the cryptocurrency bottomed out after crashing to $30,000 on Might 19.
Bitcoin trade deposits decline
On-chain analytics platform Glassnode revealed earlier on Might 26 that the overall variety of crypto addresses sending Bitcoin to cryptocurrency exchanges declined on a seven-day common timeframe.
The metric, dubbed “Variety of Addresses Depositing to Exchanges,” illustrates the variety of distinctive addresses that seem as a sender in a transaction sending funds to exchanges. Merely put, it exhibits a decline within the variety of new Bitcoin merchants who may wish to switch BTC to exchanges to promote it or commerce it for different property.
New merchants/buyers are liable to react extra emotionally to wild crypto worth swings. However with the Glassnode metric displaying a plunge in distinctive Bitcoin depositors to exchanges, it indicators a downtrend in potential promoting strain.
NVT reaches basic bullish reversal degree
In the meantime, the seven-day common output on Bitcoin’s community value-to-transaction (NVT) sign has dropped to a 14-month low, Glassnode knowledge shows.
Bitcoin’s worth reacted bullishly when the NVT sign touched 500 on the hourly chart, because the chart above exhibits. Based mostly on fractal sentiment alone, the metric now suggests a pointy bullish reversal within the Bitcoin market because it trades 36% above its earlier backside degree of $30,000.
Accumulation tackle uptrend
One other Glassnode metric exhibits that the newest Bitcoin worth dip has carried out little or no in shaking buyers’ long-term bullish sentiment. The “Variety of Accumulation Addresses” claimed a document excessive simply because the BTC/USD trade fee hit $30,000 on Might 19, taking the overall to above 545,000.

Glassnode defines accumulation addresses as those who have no less than two incoming Bitcoin transactions and which have by no means spent funds. The analytics service considers these addresses as long-term holders.
A spike in accumulation addresses through the BTC worth crash that destroyed billions in leveraged positions exhibits that bulls with long-term setup absorbed the promoting strain. That marks one other signal of bearish exhaustion as Bitcoin makes an attempt to flip $40,000 into a brand new help degree.
