Bitcoin's On-Chain Metrics Indicate Potential Sideways Movement or Correction
Recent on-chain metrics from the analytics firm Glassnode suggest that Bitcoin (BTC) may be facing a period of sideways movement or potentially more corrections due to weakening buying pressure.
According to Glassnode, the short-term demand momentum for BTC has significantly diminished. They noted on the social media platform X that:
"One key indicator: Hot Capital (capital revived over the last 7 days) has plunged 66.7% from its December 12th peak of $96.2 billion to $32.0 billion."
Furthermore, the firm highlights that:
- Diminished exchange volume momentum and low funding rates are also indicative of reduced demand.
- The 30-day average of exchange volume is approaching the 365-day average, showcasing reduced capital flows since the December market peak.
- The seven-day moving average of the mean funding rate remains below the neutral value of 0.01%, indicating a lack of demand from aggressive buyers, despite a brief rally towards $102,000.
"Without a new catalyst, the waning short-term demand suggests either a sideways consolidation period or a heightened likelihood of further correction."
As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $92,579, reflecting a 3% decline over the past 24 hours and more than 4% over the last seven days. It also remains over 14% down from its all-time high of $108,135 set in December.
