In his own words: \u201cBTC LAST DIPS BEFORE $273K? Here\u2019s why:\u201d He backed up this claim with a series of concise bullet points covering market trends, technical signals, and historical data.<\/p>\n<h2>Last Chance to Buy Bitcoin Cheap?<\/h2>\n<p>CRYPTO\u20bfIRB\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/crypto_birb\/status\/1891562556822839627\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">analysis<\/a> begins with a description of the \u201cBull Market\u201d environment, noting that both the 200-week and 50-week moving averages are rising. These long-term trends often reflect a broader shift in market sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>He also references the latest data on Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, pointing to total assets under management (AUM) of $121 billion, alongside a substantial trading volume of $746 billion. Another key metric highlighted is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin-short-term-nupl-value\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Net Unrealized Profit and Loss (NUPL)<\/a>, which he places at 0.54, suggesting that more traders are in profit than those at a loss. He observes a seven-week <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/bitcoin-news\/bitcoin-independent-btc-sp-500-correlation-zero\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">correlation to the S&amp;P 500<\/a> at 0.25, signaling only a moderate linkage between Bitcoin and the traditional equity market over that period.<\/p>\n<p>The analyst then addresses the \u201cDaily Trend,\u201d indicating that he sees Bitcoin oscillating within a range of $90,000 to $110,000 for now. He situates the 200-day Simple Moving Average at about $80,200 and emphasizes that this figure is trending upward. CRYPTO\u20bfIRB also explains that the proprietary 200-day BPRO indicator sits at approximately $94,400, which he views as another sign of strengthening momentum, despite a 50-day RSI at 42. An RSI below 50 often points to cooled market momentum, yet he notes that volatility appears stalled for the moment, with an Average True Range of $3,360 suggesting that price swings have softened compared to previous periods.<\/p>\n<p>Turning to his \u201cTrade Setup,\u201d CRYPTO\u20bfIRB highlights that he sees certain bearish configurations on his 12-hour BPRO CTF and HTF Trailer indicators. He describes market conditions as choppy, with resistance appearing around the $99,700 to $103,100 range. This implies that if Bitcoin fails to break above that resistance level, short-term pullbacks or sideways activity could continue until buyers regain control.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding \u201cSentiment &amp; Miners,\u201d the analyst points to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/as-bitcoin-tops-66k-fear-greed-index-moves-to-neutral-whats-next\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fear &amp; Greed Index<\/a> reading of 51, a level considered neutral. He remarks that fear typically spikes just before key breakouts, implying that the absence of extreme fear may indicate a more sustained climb once resistance zones are cleared. He also classifies the ongoing market cycle phase as \u201cbelief,\u201d suggesting that investors remain cautiously optimistic without the euphoria that often signals major tops. Another crucial factor is miners\u2019 profitability, which he estimates remains healthy above $88,400, a threshold that can discourage excessive miner selling and help reinforce price floors.<\/p>\n<p>His commentary on \u201cSeasonality\u201d underscores the historical performance of Bitcoin. He notes that February has seen an average gain of 15.85% with positive returns in seven out of ten years. Overall, first quarters tend to deliver around a 25% average gain. From 2010 to 2024, Bitcoin\u2019s annualized return stands at roughly 145%, reflecting the impressive long-term growth that has characterized its history. CRYPTO\u20bfIRB encourages traders to \u201cBTFD Feb\u2013March,\u201d which is short for \u201cbuy the dip,\u201d implying that he expects attractive entry points to emerge before the market potentially rallies again.<\/p>\n<p>In explaining the \u201cMacro Top,\u201d he looks to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-cycle-top-on-chain-signals-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> MVRV Z-Score<\/a>, a metric that compares market value to realized value. He warns that an MVRV Z-Score above 7.0 traditionally signals an overheated market. Currently at 2.43, the score remains well below that danger zone, which leads him to project a possible peak above $273,000 (2.88x from $95.3k).<\/p>\n<p>He states: \u201cBitcoin will start forming top over $273k+. According to MVRV Z-Score, the market peaked only when MVRV pushed &amp; stayed for weeks above 7.0 (2.8X from $97.5k).\u00a0It\u2019s the pre-rich phase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At press time, BTC traded at $95,553.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a post shared on X with his 700,000 followers, market veteran CRYPTO\u20bfIRB (@crypto_birb) outlined what he believes could be one of Bitcoin\u2019s final major pullbacks before an eventual surge to a six-figure price target.
