The current crypto market cycle appears to favour sellers. This was the cause of the majority of the cryptocurrency market’s losses. According to CoinMarketCap, the market leader Bitcoin [BTC] suffered a 21% drop in price over the last week.
The coin was trading at $16,548.29 as of press time, with a market capitalisation of $316,701,863,540.
However, Bitcoin investors should take a breather because a trend reversal is possible. According to Achraf elghemri, an analyst and author at CryptoQuant, Bitcoin’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) demonstrated an interesting movement that could lead to a trend reversal in the coming days.
Good days will be back soon
In his analysis, elghemri pointed out that the MVRV index indicated an undervalued rate. There was little speculative bounce due to the severity of the decline, indicating a possible market bottom. Thus, investors could hope for a price increase.

Several other on-chain metrics also revealed a similar possibility. For example, CryptoQuant’s data revealed that BTC’s SOPR was green. This indicated a possible market bottom as more investors were selling at a loss. BTC’s exchange reserves were also low, which suggested less selling pressure.
Interestingly, according to Glassnode, the number of addresses holding 0.01 or more Bitcoins just reached an ATH of 11,032,070. This was a positive development, as it reflected the confidence of investors in the king coin.

Are these enough for a BTC pump?
Though these metrics looked pretty promising for BTC, nothing can be said with certainty given the current volatility and unpredictable nature of the crypto market. BTC’s velocity took a nosedive over the last week, which was a negative signal. The same was true for BTC’s volume, which also registered a sharp decline.

Bitcoin’s daily chart also gave a bearish notion. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon, for example, revealed that the bears had the upper hand as the 20-day EMA was below the 55-day EMA.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) were also resting below the neutral mark, which was also a negative signal. Lastly, the Bollinger Bands (BB) revealed that BTC’s price was in a high volatility zone, further increasing the chances of a price plummet.
