QuickTake post<\/a> on February 14, CoinNiel draws similarities between the present market cycle and the third halving cycle by analyzing metrics such as distribution, capitulation, and accumulation. Notably, the on-chain expert highlights that the Distribution Signal, which measures smart money selling activity, is presently heading downwards. While this may appear as initially bullish behavior due to a reduction in selling pressure, it is also indicative of a fragile market phase marked by diminished participation by large market holders.<\/p>\nAccording to CoinNiel, this gradual decline in the Distribution Signal can also be observed in the third halving cycle following a double top formation. Furthermore, Bitcoin\u2019s price kept falling during this cycle alongside a rise in the Capitulation Signal (which tracks panic-selling behavior) and Accumulation Signal (which tracks buying activity by smart money).<\/p>\n
Notably, only after Bitcoin hit $15,000, which represented the cycle bottom for this cycle, did the Accumulation Signal meet price and start trending downwards. This suggested that smart money had finished the large-scale absorption from panic sellers, as the market stabilized for a potential reversal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Presently, the Accumulation Signal sits around $54,000 while the price hovers around the $69,000 price point. Going by historical data, the Accumulation Signal is expected to match the price at the cycle low. Therefore, there is still room for growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
CoinNiel predicts that price and Accumulation Signal are likely to cross above $60,000. However, it remains unknown when this intersection will occur. But only after this meeting is Bitcoin market expected to stabilize in preparation for a potential reversal.<\/p>\n
