The founder of Capriole Investments says he \u201ccannot be bearish\u201d on Bitcoin, pointing to key indicators that remain inside green territories.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Heater & NVT Are Both Inside Bullish Zones<\/h2>\n

In a new post<\/a> on X, Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards has shared a couple of indicators related to Bitcoin that could paint a picture different than what the crowd is thinking right now.<\/p>\n

The first indicator is Capriole\u2019s \u201cHeater,\u201d gauging the situation related to the derivatives<\/a> market. The metric tracks the data associated with the entire sector, including perpetual swaps, futures, and options markets.<\/p>\n

When this indicator has a high value, it\u2019s a sign that investors are using high leverage and have an extreme level of bullish positioning across the various derivatives markets.<\/p>\n

Now, here is the chart for the metric shared by Edwards that shows the trend in its value over the last few years:<\/p>\n

As is visible in the above graph, the Heater has witnessed a plunge recently as the Bitcoin price has crashed, indicating a cooldown in sentiment on the different derivatives markets.<\/p>\n

The metric is now inside the green zone, which has historically facilitated at least local bottom formations for the cryptocurrency. The same signal also emerged alongside the bear market<\/a> bottom back in November 2022.<\/p>\n

The other indicator that\u2019s bullish on Bitcoin right now is the Dynamic Range NVT. The Network Value to Transactions (NVT) Ratio<\/a> is a popular BTC metric that\u2019s used for measuring whether the asset\u2019s value (that is, the market cap) is fair compared to the network\u2019s ability to transact coins (the transaction volume).<\/p>\n

When this metric has a high value, it means that the market cap is high relative to the transaction volume. Such a trend could be a sign that a correction may be due for the coin.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, a low value on the metric can suggest the cryptocurrency\u2019s value may not be inflated relative to its volume, and thus, could potentially have room to grow.<\/p>\n

Capriole\u2019s Dynamic Range NVT defines lower and upper bands for the metric, beyond which the asset may be considered underbought and overbought, respectively. As the metric\u2019s name suggests, these bands are dynamic, meaning that they change with time and reflect the recent Bitcoin environment.<\/p>\n

From the above chart, it\u2019s apparent that the Bitcoin NVT Ratio has declined below its lower band recently, implying the coin may be undervalued. The last time this signal appeared was during the bearish period earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have some big headwinds to resolve (like institutional selling), but I cannot be bearish with Heater in the deep green zone today + fundamental value across the board,\u201d said Edwards. The analyst suspects BTC might climb higher for at least the coming week.<\/p>\n

BTC Price<\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $87,000, down over 7% in the last seven days.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
