Every Bitcoin investor is searching for signals that the market is approaching a bottom, but the price action of this week suggests that we’re just not there yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Evidence of this can be found by looking at the monthly return for Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>), which was hit with a rapid decline that \u201ctranslated to one of the biggest drawdowns in monthly returns for the asset class in its history,\u201d according<\/a> to the most recent Blockware Solutions Market Intelligence Newsletter. <\/p>\n

Bitcoin continues to trade<\/a> within an increasingly narrow trading range that is slowly being compressed to the downside as global economic strains mount. <\/p>\n

Whether the price continues to trend lower is a popular topic of debate among crypto analysts and the dominant opinion current points to further downside. <\/p>\n

Analysts will stay bearish until $45,000 is reclaimed<\/h2>\n

According to Blockware Solutions, there are a variety of indicators that point to a bearish outlook as long as BTC trades below the $45,000 to $47,000 dollar range.<\/p>\n

This includes the fact that Bitcoin started off 2022 at $46,200 while the 180-week exponential hull moving average, which gives more weight to recent price action, indicates that the moment for BTC is declining and currently sits at $47,166. <\/p>\n

Short-term hodlers, defined as those who have been in the market for less than 155 days, have been especially hard hit by the market weakness with the current short-term holder cost basis sitting at $45,038. <\/p>\n

Taken together, these data points suggest that the sentiment for BTC will remain bearish as long as the price is under $45,000. <\/p>\n

Where’s the bottom?<\/h2>\n

Despite the current doom and gloom analysis, there are a few signs that the market may be in the process of searching for a bottom. <\/p>\n

According<\/a> to the most recent Glassnode Uncharted newsletter, following the early May drop below $30,000 for Bitcoin, \u201cnetwork activity increased as more supply changed hands while the network shed value.\u201d <\/p>\n

According to Glassnode, <\/p>\n

\u201cThis phenomenon has historically signaled a great buying opportunity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To further support the claim that Bitcoin is currently in a good buy zone, the report pointed to the entity-adjusted dormancy flow, which has been consolidating within an area that had previously been considered a optimal purchase zone. <\/p>\n

Blockware Solutions, likewise, sees several data points that suggest the market may be in search of a bottom, including the Mayer Multiple, a metric that compares the current market price to the 200\u2013day moving average, which is currently \u201cnear some of the lowest readings on record.\u201d<\/p>\n

While multiple data points confirm that the crypto market is in a bear market, there are indications that seller exhaustion may be reaching its limit and that the market is searching for a bottom. Where that will eventually be found remains unknown, but several indicators currently point to a solid level of support near the $21,000 level.<\/p>\n
