What metrics suggest
AMBCrypto then checked the king coin’s on-chain data to find out whether they also indicated a price correction.
As per our analysis of Santiment’s data, it revealed that after a spike, BTC’s MVRV ratio dropped slightly in the last few days, which can be inferred as a bearish signal.
Market sentiment around the coin also turned bearish, which was evident from the drop in its weighted sentiment.

Apart from that, AMBCrypto’s look at Coinglass’ data also revealed a bearish signal. We found that Bitcoin’s long/short ratio dipped. A drop in the metric means that there are more short positions in the market than long positions.
This can be considered a bearish signal as it hints at a rise in bearish sentiment.

However, not everything was in the bears’ favor. For instance, the fear and greed index had a value of 38% at press time. This meant that the market was in a “fear” phase.
Whenever that happens, it suggests that there is a possibility of a price increase. If that turns out to be true, then BTC might not as well drop to $60k again in the near term. Therefore, we checked the coin’s daily chart.
