A recent Quicktake analysis on the on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant<\/a> highlighted how Bitcoin\u2019s short-term holders\u2019 (STH)<\/a> behaviour is similar to that of 2019. This analysis comes as Bitcoin remains below $60,000, continuing the bearish September trend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Peak In Bitcoin\u2019s Short-Term Holders Similar To 2019 Structure<\/h2>\n

CryptoQuant contributor Avocado_onchain noted<\/a> that there had been a \u201csmall peak\u201d in Unspent Transaction Outputs (UXTOs) under six months, which resembles a similar structure observed in 2019. The analyst explained that these UXTOs under six months are new investors (or short-term holders) who entered the market around March of this year when Bitcoin\u2019s price hit a new all-time high (ATH)<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the analyst, the declining proportion of these UXTOs suggests that these investors have either exited the market due to Bitcoin\u2019s choppy price action since March or have held and now transitioned to long-term holders<\/a> (UTXOs of six months and above).<\/p>\n

The accompanying chart showed that a similar structure occurred around the halving event in 2019 when Bitcoin also reached a local high. After that, Bitcoin\u2019s price<\/a> cooled off and took almost 490 days to hit a new ATH, although Avocado_onchain noted that there was also the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This development undoubtedly provides insights into what Bitcoin investors could expect from the flagship crypto in the long term, even though its price remains choppy. Avocado_onchain remarked that he is confident about Bitcoin\u2019s long-term upward trend<\/a>. However, in the short term, he believes it will be wise for investors to \u201ctemper expectations and closely monitor the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, although the analyst admitted that there is no clear trigger for a Bitcoin breakout, he noted that the influx of capital from new investors has historically been vital for Bitcoin\u2019s price increases. Bitcoin hit a new ATH in March following the launch of the Spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/a>, which introduced new money into the Bitcoin ecosystem.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Looks To Continue Bearish September Trend<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin looks to continue its bearish September trend<\/a> this year, with the flagship crypto already down by over 4% since the month began. Historically, September<\/a> is known to be a bearish month, as data<\/a> from Coinglass shows that Bitcoin has suffered a monthly loss in six out of the last seven September, dating back to 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following his simulation<\/a> of Bitcoin\u2019s price for this month, CryptoQuant\u2019s Head of Research, Julio Moreno<\/a>, mentioned that, on average, the flagship crypto could end the month at $55,000.\u00a0 Moreno had earlier mentioned<\/a> that a drop below $56,000 for Bitcoin puts the crypto at risk of a deeper price correction and entering a prolonged bearish phase.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For now, the crypto community hopes that the US Federal Reserve will cut rates at its next FOMC meeting, which is scheduled for September 17 and 18. A rate cut is believed<\/a> to be one that could trigger Bitcoin\u2019s price and lead to a successful breakout above $60,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $56,400, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data<\/a> from CoinMarketCap.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
