In August, Bitcoin experienced moderate disappointment with declines at both the beginning and end of the month. Although the overall outlook for Bitcoin remains bearish, certain macro-financial developments have the potential to alter this trajectory. Currently, Bitcoin’s price is below $60,000 following a 7.5% drop in the past week.
What’s Influencing Bitcoin Now?
Investors are likely to sustain the current trend until “Uptober,” a period where Bitcoin’s recovery is anticipated to continue. Innokenty Isers, Founder and CEO of Paybis, provided some insights: Access NEWSLINKER to get the latest technology news.
“September has traditionally been a negative month for Bitcoin, with historical data showing an average decline rate of 6.56%. This month, so far, investor sentiment has been negative as Bitcoin traded between $49,000 and $66,000.”
Could This Be a Turning Point?
This aligns with the macro Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio, which assesses investor profit and loss. Bitcoin’s current 90-day MVRV data stands at -4.8%, signaling profitability and potential buying pressure. Historically, MVRV data between -2% and -12% has indicated the start of recoveries and uptrends, seen in mid-June 2023, early October 2023, and recently in early July.
Investment Implications
Investors generally increase their Bitcoin holdings when the MVRV ratio falls between -2% and -12%, marking this as an accumulation opportunity zone. Should this historical pattern repeat, Bitcoin could be set for an uptrend and a significant rise towards the end of the month. Key takeaways for investors include:
- Monitoring the MVRV ratio for accumulation opportunities.
- Staying vigilant for signs of potential recoveries around historical data points.
- Preparing for possible uptrends towards the end of the month.
Bitcoin Chart Analysis
Bitcoin’s price could follow one of two paths in September. The first scenario suggests that Bitcoin might remain below $68,300, hampered by recent resistance levels. Given the bearish trends, this outcome appears plausible.
The second scenario involves a breakout past the descending broadening wedge at $68,300, potentially leading to a 22% increase and a new all-time high above $73,800. However, this bullish scenario requires favorable macroeconomic factors and a rise above $70,000.
If Bitcoin fails to exceed $65,000, the likely result is consolidation below this resistance but above $57,040, which could delay any uptrend to early or mid-October.
